Will be interested in the Julia Holter album, tough to follow Have You in my Wilderness which was in a lot of critics best of lists a few years ago.

Prana Crafter’s most recent album Enter the Stream has been out for a few months now but may be new to some ears on here. Highly recommended and well worth tracking down for fans of laid back, drone based psychedelia. Here’s a link to it
The new(ish) Circulus album is the most entertaining bag of wank I've listened to in a good while...
Sounds up my street mate so was gonna have a quick listen. The fact it’s 37 minutes long may mean it needs to wait until tomorrow!!

He’s spot on, there’s other stuff on Soundcloud too.
Lucid Dream are class. I saw them support Wooden Shjips at the Sage the other month

Yeah I did also. I actually thought I wrote that in my post !!
I must admit, I wasn’t blown away by wooden shjips that night. I much preferred Moon Duo as a live act in my opinion.

I sadly didn’t get a chance to see Moon Duo and you’re right, although I did enjoy Wooden Shjips they weren’t mind blowing.
To ramp things up Acid Mother’s Temple are playing the Cluny a week Tuesday which should be a complete mind-fuck!
Aye that’ll be one not for the faint hearted !!
Damo Suzuki playing week after also. Good to see the Cluny going full on pysche in the run up to xmas.

For fans of heavy, shoegazey psych Black Doldrums have got some new stuff out. Sad Paradise E.P. Ltd released on the club AC30 lable. I saw them last year as a double header with the equally superb 10000 Russos and was knocked out.

Brix and the Extricated came out today. Its surprisingly ok, its good to see them standing on their own feet without having to rely on a few old Fall songs to fill album out (although some of them do sound a bit like them which is hardly surprising tbf)

This is a very confusing sentence and as someone that has never heard of this band I would like it cleared up as to whether I should be listening to it or not.
They were, at their peak, medieval folk, complete with crumhorn, but are now just weird. Their best song anyway...
Saw We Were Promised Jetpacks last night - I was underwhelmed by the new album on the first few listens but the new songs sounded good live. Gig was in a converted bowling alley and the singer got understandably pissed off when people started bowling in the middle of the set - he laughed about it afterwards
So, from this week's releases:
Public Service Broadcasting - a move back toward The War Room in style, and no bad thing for it.
Micah P Hinson - excellent as usual. Continues to plough his lone furrow amongst the many, many singer songwriters we have around. Album number 10, I believe
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - file under interesting but not essential. A freeform mix of jazz and Krautrock
Thom Yorke - a double album and, also, a soundtrack. Hard going at times but the good things are very good!
Ty Segall - enjoyable. Covers of an intriguing array of artists (War, John Lennon, Sparks, Neil Young, Rudimentary Peni amongst them).
Julia Holter - a lot to take in clocking in ay over 90 minutes as it does. Some increidbly beautiful music here. May take a while to see whether it all forms a focussed album.
B.E.D. - almost the opposite of the Julia Holter album. 9 tracks, none of which stretch to 3 minutes. Unsurpringly, a lot of it sounds like it could be on a Baxter Dury album.
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - they've properly got into their stride with their psych rock meets old school metal sound. Tremendous fun!
Hamell On Trial - like the Circulus album I mentioned earlier on this page, I hadn't realised this was out. Quite lo-fi (recorded on cellphone on tour), it's 13 song stories of sex, violence, drugs and revenge centred around a ficitonal bar. Excellent as always!

Thought Baxter Dury / BED was ok. Like you say a bit short and imo not as good as his solo stuff.
I enjoyed PSB also. My initial thought was it’s perhaps a bit down tempo until very quickly remembered that it’s about a ship that sunk 1000 plus people !
Looks like Hookworms are dead. MJ accused of sexual and physical assault. What a tosser.
