Love the Bebeto track, once again my Shazam is groaning.

This is a lovely bit of almost spiritual, orchestral, Brazilian stuff, you might like

always enjoy your articles, but when both you and the Quietus recommend Sirom, well, I've got to get that record, thank you

bang on right

Not wanting to jump on any bandwagon, I can't help but agree this album is fantastic, one of the best of the year. Love the lyrics, the off-kilter arrangements, the energy. Great music is great music

Wonderful music & stories as always. Reminds me of Eskimo Song by Hugo Largo, an absolute sparse beauty. Anyway, another full Shazam playlist, keep them tunes coming please. Ta Leigh

country pop is not my go-to music genre & I was only going to stay for a couple of songs by CMAT at All Points East but wow she was great, such energy in the songs live & what a show she put on with her band
(some of the preening male rock groups on the bill could learn something)

Great to have you back. Hope the writing went well.

Loved El Shab Arab! Reminds me of fab 70s Turkish pop, sitting here in the last of the sun–

or an ace modern take on - Bak Gor by Satellites

Cerys, you play such great music on your shows & I wonder whether so much of it started in sub Saharan/west Africa???

you might like this lovely bit of Gnawa music by a leading female light in Morocco.

I seem to leave watching Glastonbury on tv needing some punk. Some fine records in the last few days-

Wrzask by Traume
Hate Training by Punitive Damage
Atomic Prey ep
Cartoon Darkness by Amyl & the Sniffers

Now, we need a new Otoboke Beaver album...

Your book is fantastic. Hounds of Love is a masterpiece & you did it great justice. You also transported me back to the 2014 Hammersmith show - I found myself buzzing & welling up all over again. Thank you
