  7. Medieval Ice Creme- MOON WIRING CLUB (Gecophonic) «Για αιώνες τώρα, ο σαστισμένος, ανήσυχος, ερευνητικός ακροατής ~ δυσαρεστημένος με το μουσικά προφανές ~ ζητούσε εύλογα να μάθει γιατί απλά δεν υπάρχει μουσική που να μιμείται επιτυχώς την υφή του παγωτού που λιώνει αργά (όπου πολλά χρώματα και συστατικά εισχωρούν το ένα μέσα στο άλλο) παρέχοντας ταυτόχρονα την αίσθηση της θεϊκής Ναυτίας που προέρχεται από την υπερβολική ώρα ανάγνωσης απόκοσμων μεσαιωνικών χειρόγραφων μέσα σε ένα υπερθερμασμένο θησαυροφυλάκιο. Το MWC μπορεί τώρα σίγουρα να απαντήσει σε αυτήν την ερώτηση με μια-δυο μεζούρες ΜΕΣΑΙΩΝΙΚΟ ΠΑΓΩΤΟ» Η θαυμαστή, Παράξενη και απόκοσμη στην πρώτη επαφή αλλά φιλόξενη και διασκεδαστική   με την τρίτη, Λέσχη του Καλωδιωμένου Φεγγαριού του Ian Hodgson   έχει τη συνταγή και την κατάλληλη θερμοκρασία   για το μουσικό παγωτό που προσφέρει σε 6 μεγάλες συνθέσεις στο κυκλοφορημένο τον Δεκέμβριο του 2022 δίσκο του ‘’ Medieval Ice Cream ’’. Η απόλαυση δε, ε...

8. Goodbye, Hotel Arkada – MARY LATTIMORE (Ghostly International) « "There's a big old hotel there called the Hotel Arkada, and you could tell it had been hosting holiday-goers for decades in a great way," Lattimore explained in in a statement. "I walked around the lobby and the empty ballrooms, and it looked like a well-worn, well-loved place. My friend Stacey who lives there told me to 'Say goodbye to Hotel Arkada, it might not be here when you get back,' and I heard soon after that it was actually going to be renovated in a very crisp, modern way." She continued, "When I think of these songs, I think about fading flowers in vases, melted candles, getting older, being on tour and having things change while you're away, not realizing how ephemeral experiences are until they don't happen anymore, fear for a planet we're losing because of greed, an ode to art and music that's really shaped your life that can transport you back in ...

09. Why Does The Earth Gives Us People to Love – KARA JACKSON (September Recordings) « Born and raised in Chicago, Jackson got her first guitar for her 11th birthday and learned to play piano: “My mom had a rule that we had to play piano before we left the house at 18.” Raised on Jim Croce and Charley Pride, Jackson fell in love with folk music as a child. “Folk has a big history of political commentary,” says the 23-year-old. “My mom works for a labour union so I learned a lot of my favourite folk songs from protesting with her. Pete Seeger [and others].” Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, she says, are the “blueprints”. » ( από συνέντευξη στη guardian) Και έτσι, αθόρυβα και χωρίς καν να το σκεφτώ παραπέρα, το άλμπουμ αυτό είναι το ντεμπούτο της χρονιάς. Δεν έπαιξα ούτε ένα τραγούδι του όταν κυκλοφόρησε στις εκπομπές. Δεν μίλησα γι’ αυτό παρά μόνο πριν από λίγες μέρες. Κι όμως το ακούω σπίτι αρκετά. Από την πρώτη στιγμή ήρθε σαν βροχή μέσα στη ζέστη/σαν το πρωινό ξύπνημα από ένα ...

  10. Madres – SOFIA KOURTESIS (Ninja Tune) «Madres is, unsurprisingly, dedicated to Kourtesis' mother. More surprising though it is also dedicated to world-renowned neurosurgeon Peter Vajkoczy. The story of how a world-renowned neurosurgeon came to appear in the liner notes of this record is one of tenacity, miracles, all-consuming love and ultimately, of hope. [..] When she began work on her debut, Kourtesis was seemingly unstoppable. A string of rapturously received EPs and singles made her one of the fastest rising stars in the electronic world and beyond. […] In amongst touring and working though, Kourtesis was rushing home to Peru at any opportunity to be with her mother, who some months after the passing of her father – the subject of Kourtesis’ breakout single ‘La Perla’ – had been diagnosed with cancer and was deteriorating rapidly. "Doctors were all the time calling me to say goodbye to her, for months", she recalls. Refusing to lose hope, Kourtesis had ...

    11. Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume (Or Simply Hot Between Worlds) – YVES TUMOR (Warp) «Musically, their potential to surprise at any given juncture has also endured, their sound twisting and branching between splintered ambient, R&B, noise, trip-hop, funk, glam, shoegaze, grunge and plenty more. On – to give it its full title – Praise a Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds), they share some of their catchiest and most openly introspective songwriting yet. » ( Guardian ) Από άλμπουμ σε άλμπουμ ο ήχος τους γίνεται συνεκτικότερος, περισσότερο εστιασμέν o ς, αρμονικότερος και στοχαστικότερος από τα προηγούμενα άλμπουμ. Υπάρχει πλέον αναγνωρίσιμο ηχητικό στίγμα που σφραγίζεται μέσω της ερμηνείας και της κομψής soul / rock φαντασίωσης. Έτσι ο πέμπτος δίσκος του συγκροτήματος δείχνει ότι ο δρόμος που έχουν ανοίξει οδηγεί σε νέους ηχητικούς συσχετισμούς μεταξύ των μουσικών ειδών που χρησιμοποιούν, υπάρχει καλύτερο δέ...

12. New Blue Sun – ANDRÉ 3000 (Epic) « In the years leading up to the release of New Blue Sun, Benjamin made media appearances playing flute in public settings; this was especially amplified online by his appearance as a flutist on the score for the Daniels' 2022 film Everything Everywhere All at Once. He would later meet with jazz musician CarlosNiño in Los Angeles, where the two agreed to create a studio album. Ahead of its announcement, fellow rapper Killer Mike teased an impending release by André 3000. As his first solo studio release, and the first studio material of his in a significant period of time, the 87-minute album largely consists of "experimental flute music" with both acoustic and electronic instrumentation, influenced by spiritual jazz musicians and minimalist composers. It features "a myriad" of different flutes performed by Benjamin in various styles across eight instrumental pieces. When announcing the album on November 14, 2023, Benjamin ...

13. Dreamer – NABIHAH IQBAL (Ninja Tune) «Nabihah Iqbal (born 22 April 1988) is an English musician, writer and broadcaster from London, England. A former legal professional, she has studied at both SOAS and The University of Cambridge. She began developing musical projects while working as a human rights lawyer. Early releases under Throwing Shade landed her a show with NTS Radio which she continues to this day where she grew her following with shows exploring music from across the globe.

In 2017 she switched to releasing under her birth name, so too her style switched towards guitar oriented vocal music. Her debut album 'Weighing of the Heart' was released by Ninja Tune to generally favou...
