Lea Bertucci's 'The Days Pass Quickly Immersed In The Shadow Of Eternity' Historical flautism oscillates between tuning up and noodling out. tQ26.H.53 - Ignore.

Bong Voyage's 'Hedonistic Hard Rock' Meta ouroborus metal in which Scandi rawk enthusiasts describe poppy eighties wig-outs using the medium of riff-tastic stadium fillers. tQ26.H.54 - Ignore.

Hey Colossus' 'Heaven Was Wild' A comparatively poppy affair. The heavyness makes itself known through a lightness born from hard to remember callbacks to a time of song. tQ26.H.55 - Buy.

Faucheuse's 'Comme Un Poignard' Tight, competent punk rock. You might think the French language adds mystery. And it does. For a bit. But it's punk. So you kinda know what it's sayiny. tQ26.H.56 - Ignore.

Mark Jenkin's 'Rose Of Nevada (Original Score)' I listen to this and immediately want to see the movie. It smells of ocean and cuts like barnacles. tQ26.H.57 - Explore.

Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon's 'As Of Now' Witty vignettes describing hip-hop's difficult relationship with women and beef. tQ26.H.58 - Ignore.

The Femcels' 'I Have To Get Hotter' There's something delicious about zeitgeist-maxxing; insincerely mocking your own culture's delusions in performing them so perfectly that it's more "how-to" than satire. You can't do it like them, obvs. tQ26.H.59 - Buy.

Hen Ogledd's 'Discombobulated' A dizzied mixture of anti-capitalist medieval rap, raging drum protest, Welsh language song and the observation that truth isn't fact. tQ26.H.60 - Ignore.

Abigail Snail's 'Rad Berms' Charismatic vocalisations and guitar over incendiary percussion; some polished, some demo, some sketches... mostly great ideas. tQ26.H.61 - Explore.

Jake Muir's 'Pareidolia' You are trapped in an abandonned hospital at night. This distillation of black-metal samples into ambient creepypasta soundtracks each room you pass through. You are left unsettled despite nothing happening. tQ26.H.62 - Ignore.

Genesis Owusu's 'Redstar Wu & The Worldwide Scourge' State-of-the-world agit-pop which focuses its energy on being catchy, upbeat and anti-scold. Taking cues from a sack of genres across a handful of decades it manages to tickle head, heart and feet. tQ26.H.63 - Buy.

Tashi Dorji's 'Low Clouds Hang, This Land Is On Fire' An album of protest titles and weary music. A meandering guitar with a wordy placard. tQ26.H.64 - Ignore.

ALGORAVE LONDON Festival 2026 starts today!!!!! badlondon.events/festival-2026/

Calacas' 'Ten Tiger Trax' Period melodic guitar indie-pop. Stuff for the tent stages at nineties festivals. tQ26.H.65 - Ignore.

Quentin Tolimieri's 'Monochromes II' Somewhen, in submitting to repetition, immersion comes. Every piece on this triple album ducks you beneath its wave into balmy warmth, unsettled horror, beatific absence, creeping dread... tQ26.H.66 - Buy.

Lb Honne's 'Guardwatcher (Pt. I)' Nominally a three hour vinyl only pressing of minimal house that's out of print, there are snippets on Soundcloud which give a flavour of the unobtainable high sheen garnache you might have got to lick. tQ26.H.67 - Ignore.

Bill Orcutt's 'Music In Continuous Motion' Like watching puppies bounce off each others' gambolling, Orcutt's guitars form rounds and repetitions that chase and eddy and collide and overshoot in energetic play. tQ26.H.68 - Ignore.

Joanna Duda's 'Regina Silva' In creating conversations between the wild animals of Kenya, Duda brings to mind a world that might be if different evolutionary paths had been taken. That spell gets reset with the human vox, and keeps the listener guessing. tQ26.H.69 - Explore.

The Soft Pink Truth's 'Can Such Delightful Times Go On Forever?' You look up at the monitor, vibrating the air around it. Sequences of how-to music theory running the gamut of Disney soundtrack emotion in bite size chunks. Your notebook lays empty save a smear of drool. tQ26.H.70 - Ignore.

Instar Sling's 'Instar Sling' A murder of crows sings its songs of alarm, predation and threat over a doom laden jam. tQ26.H.71 - Ignore.

More Eaze's 'Sentence Structure In The Country' Folk and country provide the musical language and lyrical tone for these small stories in a large landscape. tQ26.H.72 - Buy.

Harry Styles' 'Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally' Sometimes you just need forty minutes of beautifully perfect pop. Harry has built a machine to deliver that and it's lovely and calming and delightful to be with. tQ26.H.73 - Buy.

Bono / Burattini's 'Ora Sono Un Lago' Arpeggiated synths and rolling percussion give way to etherial vocalisations and unsettling meter. It gives a deliberateness more usually found in classical music. Accomplished and thought provoking. tQ26.H.74 - Buy.

Cryptic Shift's 'Overspace & Supertime' A space rock opera, jetting from jazz rock to death metal as the narrative leaps around the various dramas using musical themes to... I have no idea, really... I'm sure it's meaningful. tQ26.H.75 - Ignore.

Pugilist's 'Found Sound' A decade of accrued sounds telling the stories of a lifetime in dancehalls, club corridors, jump ups and after parties. Somehow it's all coherent across a very beautiful album. tQ26.H.76 - Buy.

Charli xcx's 'Wuthering Heights' Not a soundtrack,then? A companion album? For the film's slicked curves rather than the text's clammy web? And tangential, licking a few stiffened points? Where the flighted arcs bear the weight of Charlie's own promises? tQ26.H.77 - Explore.

The Melvins with Napalm Death's 'Savage Imperial Death March' A mixed kebab of grind doner and grunge shish littered with every pointed pepper riff in the studio. Weaving homeward, smeared in chili sauce, that Van Halen synth buoys you to jump the kerb... and miss. tQ26.H.78 - Ignore.

Olivia Rodrigo's 'You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love' Perfect pop plucked from a painstakingly curated scrapbook of influences adorn lyrics that cut out the heart of collective memories and give us all a slice to wear on our sleeves. tQ26.H.79 - Buy.

Skintern's 'Free Use' Low energy punk exploring the axes of anger, lust, vengeance, bitterness... The final track points toward an experimental musical future. tQ26.H.80 - Ignore.
