This mix was going to be all depressing glitch electronics, but then the sun came out so it became a bit more uplifting……

I love the dirty bassline from [creeper:robusto], some good jump around brilliance from Imagine I had Hands, the folk plucking of Letna somehow works next to the minimalism of Martin Donath and make sure you check the oddball but catchy track by The Rabbits (dedicated to all squirrels??)

recommended releases

Emma Cora - Emma Cora - [Metanoia]

As well as having a fantastic cover and the best name for a track of recent times (you can’t beat Unification Theory Explained Through Braile). This is a very strong album of guitar experimentation. Particularly like the folkish “Milk Stamen” and the sonic youthish fuzz of “missing tide”.

Imagine I Had Hands - Work EP - [It’s a trap]

Any indie label with an ounce of marketing skill should consider releasing some of their albums for free, as a way to introduce people to their bands. I’ll be keeping an eye out for the next releases of Imagine I Had Hands after hearing this album. Quality straight up head nodding rock and roll music.
