A high summer top 5, mainly inspired by my UK vacation in July.
Kneecap - Better Way To Live
Thanks to all the idiot zionists of the British establishment for turning me on to the delights of rap in Irish. Free Palestine!
Little Simz - Young
This is what it felt like being in London this time around. Simbi brings turns on the charm and joy, on an otherwise searing album. I speak a lot of French: oui, oui, oui!
Glass Beams - Mahal
My old flatmate Jamie has always been a reliant provider of new musical discoveries. Crashing at his place in Glasgow we watched a Glass Beams live set. Kind of like an East Asian Khruangbin.
GEL - Mirage
Another Jamie selection, this time a roadtrip highlight in the Aberdeenshire highlands. "Listen for the drop!" he said, and the drop still rules. So simple, yet so effective, every time.
Kae Tempest - Hold Your Own
I went to a stag do, and a few days later Ali officially got married, and sent me this, with the comment "Nuff said".
Agreed.
Time is an onslaught. Love is a mission.
