A lovely, pretty little thing from Reyna (and a timely reminder to re-watch ‘A Ghost Story’) hope you enjoy.

(re) Introducing Nilufer Yanya
I first banged on about Nilufer Yanya back in 2017 when she released her 2nd EP Plant Feed. Last year she released her debut album ‘Miss Universe’ which I completely failed to pick for AOTM … and I am not sure why. In the past few weeks she’s release ‘Crash’ a massive new single and it’s prompted me to reintroduce her to you all.
She’s effortlessly cool. Ballsy. Writes a great tune and obviously surrounds herself with some talented friends.
What do you think?
This is the lead track from Miss Universe …
And here is Miss Universe, enjoy.
Old pop, new pop.
I’ve been diving into old hard drives and boxes of CDs and been rediscovering some really great music and none so than Susanne Sundfør (David, I KNOW you’ll already be into this). Her Ten Love Songs album is pretty faultless – lots of Robyn energy with a smattering of ABBA – and this is a cracker, but I could’ve picked any of them.
Katy J Pearson – Take Back The Radio
We all like pop music? We like Stevie Nicks? We like this then. It’s pretty joyous stuff, straight from 1976 to 2020. (from the West Country, rather than California).
Introducing … Coco
How beautiful is this? I’ve been looking for some guitar driven music to love and coming up short. This is right up my street and I love it. Coco are … well, nobody know’s too much really. Their ‘about’ section on Spotify doesn’t give much away either. Have a spin through the 3 tracks and let us know what you think.
Sufjan Stevens – Video Game
It’s difficult to know what I really expected the next Sufjan Stevens song to sound like following the epic 12 minute+ ‘America’. The track list for the new album dropping at the end of Sept. was shared recently showing that ‘America’ will close the 15 track album out.
This track ‘Video Game’ will feature as third track on the album. And it couldn’t much further from America. The video features Tik Tok sensation Jalaiah Harmon performing her viral ‘renegade’ dance … which doesn’t really fit but of course in context does. How did that conversation go ‘Hey Jalaiah, do you want to star in a music video for a song about not wanting to star in music videos?’
For the avoidance of doubt … I love this.
Róisín Murphy – The Time Is Now (Live From Later…..)
How could I love Róisín any more, pt. 381847. (I know it’s Jools, but still) ♥️
Brother Guy …
Please tell me you know this …
It’s 21 years old. Ouch.
Khruangbin – Time (You and I)
I know it’s been everywhere, but this is such a wonderful, summery record (and the video is ace too). Album is out, perhaps an AOTM?
12mins 34 seconds of beauty …
This …
