recommendations:
Kate Arnold
It’s odd to introduce you to someone’s music via a cover but Kate Arnold infects everything she does with a unique sense of ‘Kate Arnold-ness’ so that it doesn’t matter. This will tickle you in unusual places.
Explore the rest of her Bandcamp to find other treasures.
Michael J Sheehy
Michael was the first kindred spirit I found in London in the late 90s. I saw him play and thought ‘thank god, I’m not alone.’ We drifted apart and now we’ve drifted back together. He has a new record and he has become even more like Michael J Sheehy.
Sarah Angliss
Sarah makes music on machines of her own making, modified dolls and cranky mechanics. But leading with that suggests her art is gimmicky when it isn’t at all. The music and beautiful scenes she sets has an identity and attraction that far outweighs the form it takes.
Duncan Barrett
I love music that is based upon place. I like it even better when that music is based on a place hidden, that requires some imagination to travel to.
The Effra is one of London’s lost rivers. Join Duncan as he takes you along it’s course from source to where it joins the Thames.
Ballard
Darren Riley is Ballard and works harder than you. This album is a love letter to the ‘good’ Cliff Richard albums and ELO. Most of his songs are about fast food. He also has a single called Cheap Burgers which is as good as Miss You Nights.
Schande
Schande is a band. They add a little sandpaper to this list that was becoming too silky. They will itch that scratch for you.
