Earth Tongue – Floating Being. This was an unexpected treat. Young female duo from New Zealand rocking out in a pleasingly weird way – Sabbath, Hawkwind, Ruins and, err Broadcast are all in the mix… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYgCeZpGNYo
Trond Kallevag Hansen – Bedehus & Hawaii. Nice ambient-ish, jazz-ish soundscapes with lots of pedal steel. Balmy… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0iOgtuogiM
Ivan The Tolerable & The Elastic Band – Rations. I tend to immediately take against bands with ‘joke’ names, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. But while massively over-long, this contains many fine modern psych/prog moments… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgdjgOig0gk
BEAK> - ‘Life Goes On’. New single from Geoff Barrow’s lot, and suffice to say, it is fab, like Steely Dan playing space rock at gunpoint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXLW2m_vEmc
