Nearly time to wrap up the year now, but Iโ€™m still fishing out more recommendations for my end of year albums list: this week including SZA, Delia Gonzalez and Prana Crafter. Elsewhere here: two righteous sets from my beloved Hiss Golden Messenger; Psychic Temple covering Curtis; Chris Dave, and many others from Dโ€™Angeloโ€™s band, going it alone; Jack Whiteโ€™s tantalising collage; and a fantastic new one from Sunwatchers.
