It's a bit fucked that you're all recommending an album by someone who fantasises about eating people.
We have a lot of overlap, unsurprisingly:
1. Black Midi - Cavalcade
2. Fievel Is Glauque - God's Trashmen Sent to Right the Mess (I highly recommend this one to Laz if he hasn't heard it)
3. Origami Angel - Gami Gang
4. Floating Points, Pharaoh Sanders & The London Symphony Orchestra - Promises
5. Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Carnage
6. Cassandra Jenkins - An Overview on Phenomenal Nature
7. Tyler, the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost
8. Japanese Breakfast - Jubilee
9. Cities Aviv - The Crashing Sound of How It Goes
10. The Weather Station - Ignorance
11. Faye Webster - I Know I'm Funny haha
12. Sweet Trip - A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals
13. Genesis Owusu - Smiling With No Teeth
14. Asian Glow - Cull Ficle
15. Feu! Chatterton - Palais d'argile
16. Your Old Droog - TIME
17. Duda Beat - Te amo lá fora
18. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END!
19. Armand Hammer - Haram
20. Bruno Pernadas - Private Reasons
today we release total serene, and with it, the song “unison”. the track is the first release to feature samples taken from the archives of renowned composer, explorer and recordist david fanshawe. in the late 1970’s, fanshawe travelled to the pacific islands and commenced work on a project that was to become the most comprehensive and important collection of indigenous pacific music ever put to tape. his work is invaluable and we’re enormously grateful to his family for their collaboration and their continued work in stewarding this precious and significant collection. you can expect future releases to feature his recordings.
similarly, in early 2020 we traveled to the “polynesian capital of the world” — auckland, NZ — to work with a team of exceptional traditional maori and pasifika musicians, singers and storytellers.
pasifika and maori identity has informed much of the next phase of our work, along with the extraordinary life of dave’s late father, Teleso Le’aupepe.
Gang of Youths have released an EP, called Total Serene, and it's fucking awesome.
The Angel of 8th Ave is classic them, really bloody good, Asleep in the Back is a much more gentle, ambient song that I really like and Unison is a horn and choir-led twist on their music.
From the band:
??My dislike for More Than This has actually kept me away from listening to the rest of Avalon.

Did it get overplayed or what?
After all this time, all they have to show for it is a fucking EP?
How anticlimactic.
