Spent yesterday writing a bunch of album reviews, and discovered as a consequence the interesting connection between Florida sponge-divers and Aegean bagpipe music. Try and guess which album below the story is connected with (it’s not PJ Harvey or Brian Eno).

Anyhow, strong new additions: Mary Lattimore, The Limiñanas, Marissa Nadler and, just this minute, Ryley Walker. Let me know, as ever, what you think…
