One more month and then we’re done for the year and it’ll be time for best of’s and round ups. But what’s been tickling my fancy this month? Space Drum Meditation have a new 4 track single up for pre-order with a release at the end of Jan. Cate Francesca Brooks releases more gorgeous ambience under the banner of ‘The Blanket Tapes’ and Jem Stone is back with a remix of ‘Neon Tuxedo Hotel’ from his ‘The Legend of Kaptain Carnival’ album. ‘Depoimentos Do Futuro’ (Testimonials From the Future) us a new compilation of Portugese Hauntology from the Russian Library label and finally Janine A’Bear‘s album is out on Castles In Space, I think I did the cover art well over a year ago. Paranoid London have a new 2-tracker out and Jimi Cauty under his TowerBlock 1 alias mines the KLF‘s sonic legacy for elements of ‘Music For Funerals and Bricklaying Ceremonies’, the soundtrack to the recent Birkenhead People’s Pyramid festivities in Liverpool. Move 78 release the second album of 2025 and it’s another contender for album of the year, they really can do no wrong at the moment, with this and the ‘Game Four’ long player I think they’ve found their voice as a group. Field Lines Cartographer found his a long time ago and here’s another slice of quality in the shape of ‘Aperion Anxiety’. Honorable mention for Hieroglyphic Being who’s released five EPs of varying quality this month alone.
