Guards, quite liking, deffo give another listen. Loving the Frankie Lee album, really getting into Americana atm. And for those who like that sort of thing, one that hasn't been mentioned so far - the new Youssou N'Dour release is very good. will be listening to Tyler Ramsey and Hayden Thorpe later today I think

I have no idea who they are but they sound amazing. EDIT - raucous psychedelic grunge/rock according to the Facey page - I think I’ll give that a go!

There’s also an acoustic Barenaked Ladies version of their last album out today, and a double A-side Pete Yorn single dropped yesterday. PY doesn’t sound like a single to me, the first tack could have been an album track from “Back and Forth” and the second one is quite shoe-gazey.

Very much enjoying the Psychadelic Porn Crumpets - a bit like a more accessible King Gizzard.

Speaking of Gizzard, there was a new track released this week, not on “Fishing for Fishies”

So, this week's listening:

Sufjan EP - two new tracks plus a 1996 demo of one and a brief reprise of the other. Both songs are quite nice but nothing life changing.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - as @Mickdundee says, like a more accessible King Gizzard. Cracking fun!
Richard Hawley - some cracking tunes. More focussed than Hollow Meadows.
Sacred Paws - very good. Lots of African guitar. Indie bands seem to be catching on to African sounds (well, this lot and The Wave Pictures). Bouncy/exhuberent.
Gnoomes - third album of Krautrocky sounds from Mother Russia. Enjoyable again!
Pip Blom - sort of grungy indie rock from Dutch (I think) band. Quite good!
Sinkane - seventh album, I believe. He's talented. Blends African music with a bit of dance and electronica.
Topic Records comp - if you like folk, you'll enjoy this. A combo of older artists (Richard Thompson, Martin Carthy, Peggy Seeger, Martin Simpson) and newer reinterpreting songs from the label's back catalogue.
School Of Language - excellent as usual. Could be Field Music but clearly isn't.
