The blog is back - with a new format!
Once a month I will share a playlist of 10-20 tunes following the same selection criteria that this blog has been known for: Recent releases from underrepresented artists including all kinds of genres. I will filter out the very heavy and experimental stuff for the time being and save it for special editions.
The content will be available in 3 formats:
- Playlist on Spotify (for convenience)
- Mail Newsletter (to make sure you won't forget)
- Blogpost (mostly as an archive function)
Mail and Blog always feature a few sentences on the respective song including links to the album and/or other noteworthy examples.
October 2022 is the first new format month and features a mix of super brand new releases as well as a couple of other tracks released in the past few years:
Formerly known as Evolfo Doofeht (read backwards) this band has a solid track record of releasing high quality rock/soul and lately more psych stuff (like this track). This song will be part of the upcoming album The Changer.
Part of upcoming S/T album, Lizarb (read backwards again) is the Israeli group's take on Brazilian grooves.
Just one example of many great tunes on the Australia-based rap/neo soul album Malcolm After Mecca.
Very thematically approached jazz; part of new album Honey & Groat. Previous record Kumadé recommended as well.
Fun track off the band's 2021 Came Down Different record that also features some heavier high-energy punk rock tunes.
Lead track off Open which once again shows Kutiman's versatility and skillful arrangements.
Last song off the Scottish band's 2021 It Is What It Is album which builds up nicely. There's actually more recent material available on Spotify.
Opener to the Danish jazz band's recent Over Tage album - develops nice dynamic and just a beautiful production.
Great collaboration of two underrepresented rap greats on their brand new Don't Wait For Me to Leave record. Andrew's earlier 2022 release is highly recommended as well.
Off the second album It's A Long Road of Australia-based soul outfit that first made waves with this incredible tune.
Neither the original release date of the group's Some Boots album nor its reissue on Numero group is particularly recent but there is simply something about this sincere jazz-infused rock songs that must be shared here.
After releasing a few singles (most notably this one) the LA-based soul group recently released a full length record in Angels & Queens - Part I.
High-energy modern jazz tune by saxophonist Joshua Kelly led JK Group. Taken off the latest album Rising.
A true champion of the bedroom recorded rap genre, Scott D keeps releasing high quality throwback hip hop tunes like this one on his new record Boomin' & Bappin'.
Part of a split single, this song shows NY-based rock group Weak Signal providing a riff-driven backing for Cass McCombs vocals.
The opener to the group's 2020 Afternoon Tea at Six album, this song combines various elements and instruments of traditional Persian music to a remarkable musical experience.
Super poppy track from London-based group Fell that released various shorter EPs and singles in recent years.
Off the piano-driven jazz group's upcoming S/T Album.
Haunting and beautiful rendition of a traditional folk tune off the 2021 album Ma délire - Songs of love, lost & found.
