Singles & EPs Round Up - August 4th, 2022

Anna Tivel - The Dial (Mama Bird)

A couple of internet wormholes both led to Anna Tivel in the last week so perhaps the web is not without some sort of cosmic guiding hand? The journey was long and screen based but the honesty and originality that shines through this pleasingly swinging, psychedelic slice of folk fusion was well worth the square eyes. I await the August 19th LP release with interest, and will have that great vintage avant-dance video and this track on repeat whilst I wait.
​You can also check her out on the Slow Folk playlist.

richard Norris - Rust (Self Release)

Richard Norris is one of the hardest working men in ambient music - it's actually hard to keep up, but this recent two track long form release immediately leapt out due to being more electroacoustic with the strings imbuing a most pleasant future folkloric feel to the meditative proceedings.
​If you dig this you might dig the Slow Ambient playlist.

Judah Warsky/Gilbert Cohen - tout le Temps le Temps (Versatile)

Familiarity and originality are a killer combination that don't come along too often but this house not house, wobbly next generation French nowave wonder with its catchy and quirky vocals,  warmth and general wobbliness deserves to be BIG - if only more DJs were prepared to drop the odd curveball.

Various Artists - Summer Selections Four (Nu Northern Soul)

Nice to see Nu Northern Soul hit their 10th anniversary this year and this sampler of Balearic chuggers imbued with the spirit of Ibiza's groundbreaking selectors, but nudging the sound forward whilst hinting at the label's 2022 release schedule will sound great during your summer manoeuvres.
If this is your thing then the Slow Balearic playlist is here for you.
