OK, heads up for this lot: Dalthom, who make pretty out, aqueous jams and consist of Rob Thomas from Sunburned Hand Of The Man and Gary War… primo choogle from Nashville’s Natural Child… Acid Arab… Kurt Vile guesting with Luke Roberts… PURLING HISS… the NYC desert trance of 75 Dollar Bill (ace, and also packaged in maybe my favourite sleeve of 2016)… The Karen Daltonish Lisa/Liza… and a deep astral clip of Natural Information Society playing with Evan Parker at Café Oto, which is clearly the gig I most regret missing this year. Enjoy.
