Very excited this morning to get hold of the amazing new Natural Information Society, parts of which might usefully, if simplistically, be described as a jazz take on “In C”. One of the best things I’ve heard this year so far, anyway; looking forward to sharing a track when I can.
Lots I can share now, anyhow. Significant new entries this week: another Thundercat track, albeit without Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald; Steve Gunn covering The Smiths; Aldous Harding; Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever; another El Michels take on the Wu Tang Clan; Prince on Spotify; and a live track from the expanded Either/Or, which I got to grips with in the new Uncut, out now: full details here.
The Sun Kil Moon album I would describe as a challenging listen, by the way…
