Stein Urheim - Ferskvannsdelfinens blues
From right back in February, this is a lovely piece of cosy but open world-building, grass-stalks bending, things flittering about in the breeze. Many time moevements. It's taken the return of the summer stillness for me to return to this

Baxter almost made into my PPP list, and on another day would have. The music works well with the disaffected snark.

Did Baxter Dury add beats and subsequently lose his PPP cred? Not even seen in #PeoplesPop25 bonuses/challenge week. (I mean fair enough as I can't talk - he was on my longlist but didn't quite make it.)

Definitely the most unexpected think I saw on Saturday Morning Rage this year, and my favourite track of those stuck on 2.

Ed Kuepper & Jim White - The 16 Days
I've probably seen more of Kuepper than any other artist live, though not for years. This song perfectly captures the feels. A little melancholic, a little lackadaisical but not really. Jim White's shuffle is the perfect foil.

Has it really been 18 years since John Darnielle guested on that Aesop Rock track? This year's "Black Hole Superette" is the first album I've heard from Aesop Rock since then, and it's a load of fun. (Plus, I had a mutt when a kid, so can relate.)

I can imagine On The Quarter Days being blared live in a club, a lovely Prolapse maelstrom. I'm guess this is a result of the band spending a decade or so gigging before recording again. The wait has been worth it.

Somehow I've missed the many works of DJ Koze, but enjoyed the rich hodgepodge of the "Music Can Hear Us" album. This track plays on subtle tensions between the layers of locked vocal and synth loops n beats versus the floating sitar sounds.
