Controversial statement round these parts maybe....

....but the new Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album is very good.

Full credit to David Holmes, whose production work I always look out for.

I saw him tonight, great show. Loved the new material - This Old Dog is in my top 10 for 2017.

This UK artist known as "Sangam" releases a ridiculous amount of music each year. Gorgeous, melancholy ambient goodness:

RRAREBEAR - 'Essence' has been one of my favorite new discoveries.

I completely forgot the Thundercat album- in my head it’s been out for ages, as in longer than just this year.
