Lots to get stuck into this week, though I think it’s worth drawing special attention to the superb William Tyler EP and, in the week the Pixies announce a newish album, a pointedly excellent Kim Deal track with Morgan Nagler.

Watching the Gene Clark documentary the other week, I was reminded of an album I’ve spent a few years trying to track down; namely, the self-titled debut by “No Other”’s producer, Thomas Jefferson Kaye. I finally struck gold a couple of days ago, and it’s every bit as good as I hoped: a sort of cosmic Southern funk record – in the zone of Dr John, Leon Russell, Bobby Charles, maybe – given an expansive LA makeover by a crew that features Steely Dan and their associates. Can’t recommend this one enough; very much due a reissue, I think.
