So it's partly my age, partly my location / exposure, but I have never listened to Blur minus maybe two singles. So the new album is my first real experience with them. And it's really good! I think I'm gonna try diving into the rest of their catalog now.

I didn't realize the new Andrew Bird was another one of his outside instrumental albums, but that's okay. It's perfectly pleasant. I didn't quite hear any sort of field recordings type of sounds in the background (maybe I need a closer listen) which is a bummer cause I am a sucker for that.

Listening to the Andrew Bird right now - it's delightful.

I would start with Modern Life is Rubbish and work your way forward. That's what a friend recommended to me many years ago and it worked out great.

I have three albums on my list for Friday, which is nice and manageable number for me:

Kitba - Kitba
Blur - The Ballad of Darren
Strange Ranger - Pure Music

Stranger Ranger is 🆕 to me and interesting in that the album is a sonic pastiche. A mashup of experimental dream-pop, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, chillwave, synth-pop, Britpop and alternative dance music circa 1990s.👌
