It’s been a really tough week one way or another. Not much to add here. Hope you’re all hanging in there.
New SOTW
Music I’m enjoying
Never Work, Ariel Sharratt & Mathias Kom’s second album of duets is a joy. Songs about robots, the gig economy and the nature of work in the 21st century with the usual wit & melody of The Burning Hell.
I’ve also enjoyed debut albums from Lavinia Blackwall, previously with Trembling Bells, and Green / Blue, the new band for Jim Blaha of The Blind Shake (among others) that I recently discovered via a Contraflow playlist.
