I heard this record playing in World of Echo, the sick Columbia Road record store whose opening hours are really hard to figure out. This is a jazz record they put out on their in-house label, although that term is a little misleading ā āMarble Wallsā, my favourite on the EP, which is what made me ask what was playing, is kind of Anna Domino core and thereās breakbeats and stuff too. Tara is from Bristol and her merch is handmade ceramic mugs, which I also find to be incredibly charming.

This albumā¦goddamn. S/o to the Herb Sundays substack for putting me onto whatās probably my favorite release of the year so far. Itās a beautiful piece of music front to back; very contemplative, sometimes sorrowful, other times achingly joyful. Canāt quite explain it the way Iād
like, tbh. I have a feeling I discovered this at the exactly right time to fully receive it. Itās a good reminder just how context-driven art is.
Moran employed a Yamaha Disklavier for this, which essentially plays a supporting role to her own playing. Per the Warp site: āMoran augments her pianistic abilities by utilising the Disklavier to write intricate piano parts that go beyond human capabilities, resulting in multi-layered compositions that blur the lines between human and machine.ā

The whole album feels like a voyage, explores diferrent rhythms and laguagens but feels very cohesive. Laetitia Sadier vocals sound beautiful and light and alongside the experimental melodies.
Highlight to the single ping-pong with it's upbeat energy but grave lyrics.

Joanne Robertson released her debut album, 2008ās The Lighter, 16 years ago; since then, her voice has frayed at one end and calcified at the other, and itās never sounded as beautiful and electrifying as it does on Backstage Raver. Shades of every great yearner are collected in her raw, emphatic pipes: Hope Sandoval, Sky Ferreira, Neko Case, Cat Power, so many more; maybe you canāt always make out the words, but you always know what she means.

TME is Iglooghostās most conventional album and it still makes me fucking crazy ā like Iām freebasing nicotine and cocaine at the same time, while on one of those rollercoasters that drops at a 90-degree angle. Part of that disorienting feeling, this time around, comes from textures and sounds I didnāt expect: post-punk drums on āCoral Mimicā; the electro beat on āNemat0deā. Iām sick to death of āgenrelessā music; Tidal Memory Exo was a genre unto itself.

People hate on Discogs so much, kind of for good reason, but itās my social media of choice. Iāve become obsessive about cataloguing my records, I love to write up entries for stuff thatās not in the database, and Iām obsessed with the comment section drama. The userbaseās dedication to being totally insane is admirable - these people know the names of specific lathe cutters at pressing plants in the Czech Republic.
