10 recent Bandcamp favourites from Secret Soul Society‘s Cal Gibson.
This Vietnamese Afrofunk throwdown works a treat on Saigon Supersound: album on the way. Dancefloor dynamite – legendary jazz DJ Paul Murphy is a fan so you know it’s fire.
After Silence | Skúli Sverrisson & Óskar Guðjónsson | Skúli Sverrisson
Quiet Icelandic jazz gems from 2002 reissued and full of love. Welcome in the autumnal rain and let the blues flow deep.
Elders of the Begena: The Harp of David in Ethiopia | Various Artists | Death Is Not The End
There’s something to be said for getting anything Death Is Not The End put out on sight: always unmissable and deep as you like. Heavy and wholesome: a brave new world of sound.
An oldie but a goodie in which Beirut-born Tarek absolutely rocks the shit out of his piano. Skills galore for the jazz crews.
Where Are We Now? | Winter McQuinn
Pitch-perfect sunshine soul and pop-friendly choruses: there’s a wonderful method to McQuinn’s musical madness. Should be huge by any reckoning.
The Smashing Machine (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) | Nala Sinephro
Just more straight up genius from Nala Sinephro: cinematic wonders abound. Nala nails it (again).
Debbie Gaskin & Eternal Love Combo | Debbie Gaskin | Local Dish
And again, pretty much anything Local Dish serve up is worth checking: a longplayer full of fun and frolics highlighting Debbie Gaskin’s songwriting chops – it’s a wonderful collection all round.
Você acredita em Mim / Would You Believe in Me | The Bam Jam Band
Takes a heap of cojones to cover Jon Lucien’s masterpiece but the Bam Jam Band make it work and then some: Lucien goes disco. A cracker.
A new one from Kyoto’s funkiest Yorkshireman: east meets west meets grandad’s hole-y vest. Jules remains a true one-off: a genuine musical polymath.
Another unique voice: deliciously dark meanderings for those long nights. Eternal oscillation they call it – and they’re not wrong. Cosmically inclined and all the better for it.
