Moving swiftly along from that Best Albums Of 2017 So Far list I posted yesterday, a really strong bunch of new arrivals this week. The new Chris Forsyth album I’ve had on the quiet for a while now; make some time for the fantastic “Dreaming In The Non-Dream”. Likewise I now have a video from the new Psychic Temple album listed last week; watch out for the great Terry Reid on backing vocals. There’s a mighty mixtape of heavy obscurities compiled by Endless Boogie’s Paul Major, a nice Fourth World jazz record by Joseph Shabason, an amazing Daphni/Caribou mix, new Lee Ranaldo and, this morning, Michael Head. Plus Queens Of The Stone Age’s fun “Tiger Feet” tribute…
