recommendations roundup - 10/8/2018

We thought we would provide a one stop, weekly shop for our daily music recommendations for the RSS feed massive that means you don't have to log on daily to social media and hope their algorithms actually give you the information you want.

As usual we'll just put our Twitter friendly, succinct, alliteratively leaning descriptions by the side of the player to try and tempt you but let's face it music is a subjective thing. I guess we're more or less on the same musical wavelength or your wouldn't be here in the first place but you know how it goes the true test is what happens when that music hits your ears and connects with your brain.

the cradle - bag of holding (nna tapes)

All year round summer vibes for 2018 and beyond as The Cradle (Paco Cathcart) pops up with a wonderful, orchestrally tinged LP of close up acoustic guitar led indie folk with added lyrical depth and bite for NNA Tapes - lovely.

masayoshi fujita - book of life (erased tapes)

Perfect Sunday listening courtesy of Masayoshi Fujita's gentle vibraphone led, ambient and modern composition, ably supported by some cultured string work, flute and even a choir on this new LP for Erased Tapes. Beautiful stuff.
