This Week's New Releases

Being a huge Radiohead fan (they are among the best live concerts you can see nowadays), I’m excited for The Smile’s album to finally drop with the caveat that the side projects rarely live up to Radiohead’s glory.

Also, the new Florence + the Machine, the Black Keys, Chevals, Perel, and Crackazat should make for some quality weekend listening.

I’ll of course also have to give the new Kendrick Lamar a listen, and an archival Rolling Stones release of a 1977 gig.

Happy listening…

Last Week's Distilled Gems

Great week last week with all the top releases coming through in their own ways. Warpaint, Arcade Fire, Belle & Sebastian, Sharon Van Etten, The Head And The Heart, and Alison Wonderland all gave me songs that got stuck on repeat, and made it to my Infinite playlist
