In this episode, featuring the latest cracking album from Nick Waterhouse. The Fooler is a song-cycle of sorts, the arc of the album telling a tale of a city and its denizens. In Nick’s music you will hear echoes of things you might think you know, the ghost of rhythm and blues, garage rock, radio soul and wee-small-hours balladry – but reconfigured, made new. Exciting!

Based in Sao Paulo and formed in 2017, Tagua Tagua is headed by songwriter and producer Felipe Puperi. Recorded in the rural outskirts of Sao Paulo there is a sense of yearning that permeates throughout the set list of ten unapologetic love songs that fly between lush psychedelic pop to warm, beat-laden neo-soul with Brazilian flavor. Magic! Plus eight other wonky/dreamy pop tracks for you to enjoy.

For The Nude Party, nearly a decade has flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, the New York-based 7 piece has released a pair of well-received albums, an EP, and played countless shows. Theirlatest, Rides On, seems them in the producer seat with great results. Great listening!

I share some memories honouring Mark Stewart, lead singer with The Pop Group who recently passed away. A show with sharp angles and sprechgesang…

Featuring one of my favourite releases of the year so far, the debut album of dreamy, gentle songs written by the duo of Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man) & poet/singer Beverly Ketch (Bunwinkies; Weeping Bong Band), assisted by a masterly crew of collaborators including P.G. Six, Wednesday Knudsen, Jeremy Pisani, Jen Gelineau, Willie Lane, Gary War & more. Incredibly beautiful and essential listening.
