Untradition - Dark Summer
This is a sharp, maximal record that cuts through the darkness in thoughtful and rewarding ways.

Tommy Tone - Finally Punk
Tommy Tone has achieved the final state of subcultural metamorphosis, but its spirit was inside him all along.
Squidney the Dude - Ben | Habits
Squidney the Dude appears bundled up in a heavy fall jacket on the cover of Ben | Habits. You might feel like reaching for yours when listening to the two eponymous singles.
Shabason, Krgovich & Harris - Philadelphia
Philadelphia is both timely and timeless.
Sarah Davachi - Cantus, Descant
On the first release for her Late Music imprint, Sarah Davachi holds a mesmerizing pipe organ séance.
Rhododendron - La jachère
When winter arrives, it feels like somebody has taken a giant eraser and removed all of the colour from your surroundings. In place of green, red, and pink hues there are whites and greys.
Pansy Boys - Seasons of Doubt
In a healthier, pre-COVID world, my hands would (consensually) grab a stranger’s shoulders as I, out of breath, whisper out the album’s Bandcamp tags - “alternative pop…. folk… lush… queer…”, and faint into a bed of roses.
