Still catching up on new releases, this one's not bad, prolific alt country band that I don't really know but will be doing some more digging!
Unexpected item in bagging area!Quote:

You're sort of right there. I bought it only a couple of years ago - my mate was bangin' on about preferring it to their debut, so I bagged a copy. And didn't think much of it.Quote:

I don't think it's better than their debut (which I bought on vinyl upon its release you'll be shocked to know), just different.
Certainly not as good as their debut, but still a very decent Album
Nice one - some say my entire collection is Garbage! :lol:Quote:

Ambient music from the Japanese producer/musician who uses nature sounds to form his compositions. Not as dull as that sounds!
Nice one Steve, :)
That it is Barry. But now it's time to make some noise while I can. Sorry about that.Quote:

The last 2 have been belters Steve.
Agreed! Just the sort of music to play on new speakers in an empty house!Quote:

Rock music is not dead, yet!
Is this to be a regular new feature, a bit like 'What's in Alan's Big Pocket?'Quote:

Grace Jones 'Island Life'. Seems to suit a hot Friday afternoon.
True, Pete. Anything from her Compass Point trilogy will suit :)Quote:

First listen. I really dislike the man, but let's see.
I own it, but can’t remember if I like it or anything about it! Will give it a go later.Quote:

I just ended up finding an album called “Big Sur Drift (Ocean)” by Ebb. Turns out it is literally 9 tracks (32 minutes and 28 seconds) of recordings of the sea. What I was actually looking for needed an extra “b” on their name. (And I did actually listen to all of Ebb, hoping something interesting might happen - to save your pain, it didn’t…)
Ebbb - Shallow Hits (2026)

Very interesting debut this one, hard to categorise, dance in places but with indie styles and some nice vocal harmonies. I liked it a lot, so will get more plays for sure.
By the way, I always read the Norman Records round up on the weekly releases - always nicely written, and sorts the wheat from the chaff as far as I am concerned. Their album reviews are generally very accurate. Also worth signing up to their emails, too, as they are very informative if not a bit too frequent.

100% with you on the (frequent) Norman Records emails.
Excellent . . . I'm a big fan of anything from the Stone siblings :)Quote:
