Can I presume this is a different Belly to the one people of a certain age would know - one that’s too cool for an old fart like me to have heard of? I follow the old Belly and not heard whisper of anything

Ooh, it is. It's a rapper called Belly. I'd just assumed it was the band.
Me too. There were a couple of times where he nudged his way a bit uncomfortably up alongside something akin to serious singing. Toes curled then. But when he was Shaun Ryder it was very entertaining - 75% jellyfish taxis ffs
Aye I was a bit taken aback with his ‘singing’. Fair play to him though !Me too. There were a couple of times where he nudged his way a bit uncomfortably up alongside something akin to serious singing. Toes curled then. But when he was Shaun Ryder it was very entertaining - 75% jellyfish taxis ffs

There's a new album by Phil "Swill" Odgers, remaining vocalist of the Men They Couldn't Hang

Entitled ‘The Ghosts of Rock n Roll’. It doesn’t seem to be on Spotify yet.
Not on bandcamp either, which is odd, as that seems to be where he does most of his sales - it wasn't on last night when I checked, after seeing his "now available" post on Instagram, but I presumed that was because it wasn't Friday yet here. Guess that wasn't the reason

Now on Spotify in the UK.

Proper cant be arsed with that. Won't be as good as the Nas album or Tyler's album I doubt.
Not new but I’ll recommend Glenn Branca again. Just listening to Songs 77-79, and it’s absolutely magic.

I’m half way through but enjoying it a lot. Not sure it needs to be 2 hours long like.

New turnstile album is fantastic.
My usual weekly review. Can't be arsed with Kanye when there's a load of other new and newish stuff out. Anyway:
Thalia Zedek Band: Similar to her earlier albums. Guitar centric indie rock blues. Very good!
Yann Tiersen: Filmic, abstract neo-classical type gubbins as always. He's superb at this type of thing. Probably a bit more electronic than usual if I'm honest.
Domenico Lancellotti: summery loveliness from a Brazilian singer-songwriter. Tropicalia flecked.
Big Red Machine: enjoyable. Guest vocalists to the fore, although Bon Iver sings on a fair bit of it. Comes across a bit like a compilation, to a degree.
Goat: non-album tracks (i.e. one off singles) plus rarities. It's enjoyable but some tracks may be familiar. Would like new material (well, two tracks here are new).
Liam Kazar: Enjoyable slacker rock. Operates somewhere between Jeff Tweedy and Mac Demarco. His debut but he's played on a lot of other people's records.
Danko Jones: Proper, muscular hard rock with hooks.
Marisa Anderson & William Tyler: a really enjoyable largely instrumental album of guitar pieces. These two get a bit more upbeat playing together than they do solo.
Ephat Mujuru & The Spirit of the People: well, this isn't new as Ephat Mujuru died in 2001. Upbeat Zimbabwean mbira fronted music. Uplifting!
Damon & Naomi: (plus the guitarist from ace Japanese psych-rock band Ghost). Very good, very Galaxie 500 (if the guitarist from Ghost had guested). Manages to be gentle and fragile but rocking at the same time. Includes at least one song about the shipping forecast. Excellent!
Evan Wright: home recorded, excellent songs. A little bit Elliott Smith in some ways (mostly vocally). A name to watch.
I See Hawks in LA: the tenth album from this lot. They're continuing to mine the psychedelic Americana seam with good amounts of success. This, as usual, is good.
Balimaya Project: a London based 16 piece Afro-jazz collective. I like this a lot.
Jack Cooper & Jeff Tobias: two long reflective instrumental pieces about tributaries of the Thames. Interesting and diverting.
SuperState: this kind of seems like Coxon's Guerillas. It's 15 tracks meant to soundtrack a graphic novel featuring the work of 15 artists. It's a cracking album regardless of concept. Surprisingly upbeat, poppy and, essentially a bit disco.
Steve Gunn: a good solid album of indie Americana from the guitarist turned singer songwriter. Up to his usual standard.
Chvrches: continuing their Glasgow indiekids discover keyboards and go a bit pop thing. It's good.
Indigo de Souza: poppy grunge. It's enjoyable enough but the singles stand out over a lot of the rest of the album.
Madi Diaz: I like this. SInger songwriter whose album starts things slowly but gets more upbeat as it goes on.
The Bug: Kevin Martin returns to his best known alter-ego. As always guest vocalist heavy and a mix of dancehall, ragga, dub, hip hop and many other genres. Terrific!
Haiku Salut: gentle, rolling, lovely instrumental tracks. Music to sit in a field on your own to.
Baba Ali: a New Yorker in London. I think Al Doyle from Hot Chip is involved somewhere. This is a tremendous album which you'd half expect to have been released on DFA Records (although it's on Memphis Industries, as it happens).
Chubby and the Gang: London punk's breakout stars. At their best, they can sound a little like Fucked Up. Always enjoyable but can be a bit formulaic.
Nite Jewel: I like this. It operates on the interface between electronica and soul. Quite downbeat (it's a breakup album) but very good.
Connie Smith: old school country (she's in her 80s). Her first album in a decade. There are some properly cracking songs on here.
Album of the week: Baba Ali squeezes home under strong competition from The Bug, Evan Wright, SuperState and Damon & Naomi.

does robin pecknold feature much on big red machine album ?
He does (well the track listing says Fleet Foxes but it's primarily his vocals).
