bump! It's Friday! What's new that I should be listening to?
New Moses Boyd is great. Orchestre Baobab - Mohammadou Bamba is out on Juno, possibly my favourite African record ever (I had thought the release date was next week). I also enjoyed Seven Wonders, an Australian compo of their soul and jazz scene. And finally Strut's second compilation of the amazing Caribbean label Debs International is out today.bump!

BTW I'm checking out that Venetian Snares you recommended - it's bonkers, but in a good way. What I don't like about a lot of electronica is the repetition so it doesn't fall down on that. Needs another couple of listens, I feel...

I quite like it tbh but to each their own.Was underwhelmed by the new Tame Impala. Singles were solid, but everything else is very forgettable.
So what you're saying is it was a Tame Impala album?Was underwhelmed by the new Tame Impala. Singles were solid, but everything else is very forgettable.
if you heard anything from Tame Impala it was probably the song Elephant, but maybe didn't realize it was a Tame Impala song. they're definitely a great band, I haven't listened to the new album yet but I am very much looking forward to listening to it!I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a Tame Impala track.

I need to give it a couple listens through, but right now it makes me think of Innerspeaker: more a vibe than a set of distinct songs. I like the sound of a lot of it, it's very disco (and the opening track reminds me of Sparks' Tryouts for the Human Race), but it's not very hook-heavy.Singles were great. Borderline and It Might Be Time are up there with my favorite Tame Impala tracks ever, but a lot of the middle sounded like filler and couldn't keep my interest.
Hey ohhhhh!
