What Are You Listening to? 2020

Okay, wtf is that last one? Assume the image before is from same album?

Googled and found this

Flop - Regrets: One of Seattle's finest power pop acts never found success

Amazing how the name tells the whole story.

Ha! The one above it is Fastbacks - Zucker (on Sub Pop)

Have seen them referred to as the French Fairport---what is this album like? Good gatefold!

xpost: i'd be inclined to say a closer analogue would be steeleye span, rather that fairport convention. that's their 4th album & 3rd self-titled where they start embracing prog elements to a greater extent (earlier ones i've heard being more in the trad &/or folk-rock vein) though still retaining the folk base. yet to hear their later releases, but i believe they get even more proggy from there on out.

more african/swedish crossover with dyani sticking to keys/vocals throughout.
gets kind of poppy & proggish in places but will listen to anything with dudu pukawana on it!

alternating between a huge playlist of recent UK jazz and a huge playlist of Aleksi Perälä.

Original US release of What We Did On Our Holidays as Fairport Convention (guess the originally s/t debut hadn't come out in America yet?)

This LP plays itself in my head everyday, all my life since first listen, without warning:

Reading through the mass of promo emails I got for Bandcamp Friday, I came across the new Miguel Mendez album on Deathbomb Arc. This is not one of the sounds I associate with that label, but I'm really digging it right now!

that is beautiful, and also what is that

the one just above is the third (i think? second on esp-disk anyway) release by alan sondheim/ritual-all-7-70; jazz derived improv with a touch of early moog use (prob my favourite of his/their work, though the others are excellent too imo)
