I hadn't looked at the release date for the Belle & Sebastian yet. Guess I'll be adding that to my list. And Whitehorse, which I somehow missed!

Maybe @Selaws is the right person to ask, but it seems reasonable to ask here. Does anyone have a good line on new world/international music. I’ve upped my podcast listening on my short commute and I’m listening to Rolling Stone Now’s music you may have missed last year episode (Country was a wash)… anyhow I’ve heard some interesting things in the Afrobeat portion and was wondering where to start looking for that stuff and other nonwestern music.

(Cause what I need is more music to listen to, clearly)

I was using PAM (pan-african-music.com) for a decent chunk of last year, as they'd do an XX albums you need to listen to feature each week, but the updating got very irregular at the tail end of the year, so I've been checking it rather seldom lately - but it definitely led to some great discoveries last year and I'm hoping things pick up again this year. I just noticed while writing this that they have a best albums of 2022 feature as well, which I'm going to check out presently.

That shit’s not in English.
 
I know a few more of these too, was that because of you @avecigrec:
Bahaman by Rokia Kone & Jacknife Lee
Beja Power! by NOORI & his Dorpa Band
Leyla McCalla - Breaking the Thermometer (okay this one I knew anyhow - did not know she was Haitian)
FKA Twigs is Jamaican?!!??!!!
I knew Koffee without anyone's help here...
Vieux Farka Toure from my older world music days, his dad and oh yeah some band named Khruangbin
Burna Boy
Rosalia
Obongjayar
Ibeyi


Love that Comet is Coming, Kendrick, Sudan Archives, Little Simz, and Ezra Collective made their list.


In summary, not quite as clueless as I thought. Maybe its just modern Afrobeat which I am clueless on.

Anyhow, good stuff. Thanks @avecigrec

Would love some info on more Eastern music. I know a little bit (like nanoscopic) about Chinese and Japanese music.
 
Stereogum says we missed MOLLY:
www.stereogum.com

Album Of The Week: MOLLY 'Picturesque'

Good golly, this MOLLY album is beautiful. MOLLY are a duo from Innsbruck, Austria who play an especially majestic style of dream-pop with a post-rock approach to structure and scope. They’ve been described as a shoegaze band before, including on this website, but on MOLLY’s new album...

NOORI & his Dorpa Band might've been my doing - I love that album.
I'd forgotten all about the Rokia Kone & Jacknife Lee album, I need to revisit that one.
Ibeyi was an AOTM before I got here, but I've been following them since their first single - sadly missed their first ever Vancouver performance due to a stomach bug the last time I lived over there.

I've been dabbling more and more into Middle Eastern and Indian music, but am still very much a neophyte in those realms - as far as Chinese and Japanese I'd say nanoscopic is where I'm at as well

I had some absolutely fantastic times on molly, but I wouldn't say I miss it.

Ibeyi caught my attention a long time ago with a feature from Kamasi.
