Last one for tonight and I’m going to be brutally honest, this album will bring me to tears. Every. Single. Time. And I can’t help it. It’s beautiful.
Some background, this album was written to go along with archive footage of everyday life from Scottish people that was compiled for the 2014 commonwealth games.
I was fortunate enough to see it performed live just before lockdown back in March. The kicker Is that this is footage is from my grandparents and parents era, mostly grandparents. Even during the live performance I could feel myself welling up.

@Turbo's Recommended 2020 Releases

I've been discovering a lot of great new music this year. These are 2020 releases that I've been spinning a lot.

#1 The Buttertones "Jazz Hound"
#2 Baxter Dury "The Night Chancers"
#3 Jessie Ware "What's Your Pleasure?"
#4 Yves Tumor "Heaven To A Tortured Mind"
#5 Sammy Brue "Crash Test Kid"
#6 Sorry "925"
#7 Destroyer "Have We Met?"
#8 Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes "What Kinda Music"
#9 Automagik "Fluorescent Nights"
#10 Caribou "Suddenly"
#11 Caroline Rose "Superstar"
#12 Monophonics "It's Only Us"
#13 Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever "Sideways To New Italy"
#14 The Strokes "The New Abnormal"
#15 Car Seat Headrest "Making A Door Less Open"
#16 Georgia "Seeking Thrills"
#17 Thundercat "It Is What It Is"
#18 Pearl Jam "Gigaton"

#19 Ghostpoet "I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep"
"I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep" has that film noir anxiety that suits 2020 perfectly. This is the first album to lead me anywhere near that place "Mezzanine" took me to all those years ago. I love the heavy use of organic instrumentation that backs Ghostpoet's dark and soulful spoken rap. Standouts to me include "I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep", "Concrete Pony", "Nowhere to Hide Now", Breaking Cover" and "This Trainwreck Of A Life" with its sexy french spoken word parts from SaraSara.
