This week we have new singles from Beth Orton, Death Cab for Cutie, an excellent collab single from Black Thought & Danger Mouse feat. Michael Kiwanuka, Santigold and FKA twigs.
For albums: beabadoobee drops her highly anticipated follow-up, another volume in the excellent Shapes series by Robert Luis, and interesting debut from Spring Summer (produced by Jenny Lee Lindberg of Warpaint)
Also, I just saw that last week’s email failed to send, so it’s here
Happy weekend and happy listening…
Last Week’s Distilled Gems:
Apollo Brown‘s instrumental albums was one of the best chillhop albums I’ve heard in a long time.
Laura Veirs and Luxxury both were solid efforts and worth listening.
Hot Chip, Daphni and the Soulwax remix of Wet Leg all stood out as well.
