Chop’s Journal - 14 Jun 2020

Running late with this one. I decided this would be the final week of, mostly, daily top fives. It’s been over three months which felt like enough but I do plan to keep it going at least weekly after a short break.

Music I’m enjoying

This week’s best new release is the Roxy Girls EP though I’ve also enjoyed Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever’s second full length album. 

Spent more time keeping up to date with BBC radio shows (Marc Riley, Natasha xxx Ruskin Sharp & Michael Bradley) and Mixcloud shows (Dan Whaley, Contraflow & Yesterday’s Jam).
