New Album
Album – Equinox (EP)
Artist – Common Saints
Top Tracks – Firebird, Equinox
Genre – Psychedelic Soul
My take – This EP feels like floating down a velvet river of reverb. If you dug Cinema 3000, this is the more meditative, late-night cousin. Think Fleetwood Mac mixed with a Pink Floyd comedown track.

New Album
Album – Crashbox
Artist – Monkey House
Top Tracks – Someplace On Madison, Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Genre – Sophisti-Pop, Jazz Rock, Soft Rock
My take – If you’ve been craving a modern Steely Dan without the snark overdose, Monkey House might be your prescription. Smooth grooves and impeccable horn sections make for a slick sound that will take you right back to the seventies.

New Album
Album – I Got Too Sad For My Friends
Artist – Shura
Top Tracks – Leonard Street, Recognise
Genre – Synth-Pop
My take – If Kate Bush and Imogen Heap got stuck in a studio with nothing but vintage synths and Peter Gabriel’s immaculate production. Recognise is a standout track that could have been included on Peter Gabriel So as a companion track to Don’t Give Up.
