Album streams:
1. Hether: ‘Sticky Fingers’ is lo-fi and beachy indie rock to kick back to – hazy, shimmering vocals over laid back guitar.
2. Hidden Orchestra: ‘We Are from the Sun’ is a remarkable poetry record – 10 diverse UK poets reading to shape-shifting instrumentals.
3. Parrenin / Weinrich: ‘Jours De Grève’ is a groovy downtempo record – a bouquet of music full of mirrors, eyes, blood, statues and secrets.
