If you remember I forgot how to dream

These New Puritans’ Crooked Wing drifts like a fevered hymn from a crumbling ecclesiastical state—ritualistic, austere, but punctured by moments of uncanny grace. Stereolab’s Instant Holograms on Metal Film shimmers with archival unease—fragments of future pop cut from tape loops and circuit hiss, where lounge, drone, and lost ideals fold into a dream that never quite resolves. King Gizzard’s Laminated Denim extends like kosmische clockwork—motorik, mesmeric, built for trance not triumph. Death & Vanilla’s Whistle and I’ll Come to You rewrites M.R. James in Mellotron and reverb—ghost story as sonic séance, somewhere between dread and drift. And the latest Eccentric Soul entry from Numero Group - Eccentric Modern Soul - sidesteps canon to gather voices on the edge—all raw groove, cracked falsetto, and desperate grace.

Also out today - but not pictured - Former Go-Between Robert Forster’s Strawberries feels like a letter written in soft pencil—quiet, wry, and deeply felt, as though time itself had stopped to listen. Wilson Tanner’s Legends plays like a submerged postcard from a vanished coastline—ambient, soft-weathered synths, and the fleeting thought of memory fading. Sparks’ Mad! is baroque, blistering, and sharply surreal—pop as opera, satire as bloodsport. And Czarface’s Knull & Void punches through comic-book bombast with noir beats and cosmic paranoia—a dystopian pulp soundtrack delivered with gleeful menace.
