New Fleet Foxes ‘Shore’ which was a nice surprise release. Pleasingly pastoral, upbeat and melodic but at 15 tracks feels a bit baggy. More time with it may help

Sparks - Kimono My House

Weird songs for weird times, and the times are always weird with the fabulous Mael brothers.

This beautifully-recorded CD is a collaboration between pianist Hawkins and cellist Reid. Although some listeners will find the results challenging, the pair work beautifully together, and Reid coaxes a vast array of sounds from her cello.

Giving it a bash on yon Tidal thingy, which, given that it was a Record Store Day limited vinyl release, is quite pleasing.

More top quality desert trance blues from Tamikrest … great shout, Gazza. :+1:
