Little bit late this week, due to events coming up at school, like essays and mid-terms. Fun stuff! As such, no comments for now. Those'll be added in later, and probably, finally, an upload of that Extra Life album. Put it off because we also had new Four Tet and Wu Tang vs. The Beatles to listen to!

A massive ten new listens last week. Thanks, waffles free leech! The only album that stands out here is Spoon's Transference, and that's because it's a bit of a bore to listen to. It's almost as if they forgot that they can, occasionally, write interesting hooks, and not just atonal indie rock. Everything else is class: those Dessa and Extra Life albums will, most likely, be among my favourite of the year; Max Roach's album was brilliant as always; Alexander Tucker continues to impress in short, EP form; and Will Oldham and Gillaim Welch provided some nice country sounds. Good week!
Listens incoming this week: new Liars, Jaga Jazzist, and a bunch of what I picked up for free leech, which was a lot of jazz.
