It WAS a good month! The MIKE album is great, Perverts is fascinating, and I can also recommend Kerosene by Melissa Mary Ahern, I Still Want To Share by Sophie Jamieson, Debt Forever by Charm School, Dominant Heartstrings by Elsa Hewitt, Spiral Your Way Out by zzzahara, and It's Only A Love Song by C Duncan. And that's not to mention a couple of Brazilian albums and all the electronic and classical stuff! Some of this will end up on my January podcast, currently in production.

You had me scratching my head wondering how I’d missed a new Chime School album for a moment there. Then I found the Charm School record, which also sounds promising. A couple I haven’t heard there so I’ll look forward to checking them out. Agree the C Duncan record is great, he made the playlist.

My typo (now fixed) echoed the same confusion I had when first learning about the album😂. Band names, OY.

As if Chime School and The Laughing Chimes being on the same label wasn’t enough, we now have this to contend with!

Really glad you liked it. They were new to me and I have been playing that record a lot this month.

I got Booker on the top of my leaderboard too, SAME KIND OF LONELY did something permanent to my brain

The best of the month and therefore the best of the year so far! It’s really bold. I love it when an artist comes back strong after a long break.

It really impressed me. Kenny Segal was such an inspired choice to produce it. Let me know if you enjoy it

I really like the Ela Minus.

It’s getting better every time I listen. She’s touring with Caribou, which is a really tempting double act.
