Trending Now

Hey, big week for modern kosmische I guess, as we’ve taken delivery of the tremendous, free jazz-inclined new Bitchin Bajas album, plus a set from Gregg Kowalsky from Date Palms. And I guess James Holden’s fine record fits that description too: there’s also a new track from “The Animal Spirits” if you scroll down.

What else? I’ve found a link to Goran Kajfes’ latest adventurous collection of jazz covers; the lesser-spotted Neil Young (in 2017, at least), letting rip again with The Promise Of The Real; an epic new Alvarius B project from Alan Bishop; and an absolute killer single (Think Ryley’s “West Wind”) from Brigid Mae Power. I’ll stick that one on Twitter as soon as I get it.
