Another issue in the bag, and these are the records that have got us through the last couple of days of production. Mostly very good, with a few probably glaring exceptions.
The mystery album from last week’s list I can now reveal to be The XX’s “Coexist”. What else? The Sic Alps record is increasingly excellent, I think, as is Takoma vet Harry Taussig’s first in 47 years.
