Every end of the month we are releasing a round up of reviews of recent releases that touched us the most. These are the personal reviews of hand-curated gems our team dug up (and the occasional chart topper). This time including Sudan Archives, Jockstrap, Sampa the Great, Rina Sawayama, Tamino, Julia, Julia, Khruangbin and Vieux Farka Touré, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Editors, and Nils Frahm.
The current phase of self isolation is forcing us to be creative, kill some time and maybe also do something we've never done before. Listening to music can be a great way of coping with the situation and we decided to make a little challenge out of it. Tine from our marketing department, for example, took the quarantine to rediscover a band that she once liked a lot but lost track over the years. Here's her report about facing Editors once again.
As this decade is approaching its end it is time for a little reflection on all the great music we experienced over the course of it. Of course, this is NOT an ultimate and universal Top 100 list. It simply can't be but these are the songs you should definitely give a spin before the decade is over. The next 25 tracks in our list include Daughter, Kendrick Lamar, Editors, Blood Orange, Metronomy and more.
British indie rock band EDITORS give a new teaser from their highly anticipated fourth longplayer. Tom and Russell from the band performed an acoustic version of the new spng Honesty on 3voor12 Radio. Previously the group already premiered A Ton Of Love, the first single off the new record The Weight Of Your Love. The album will be released on July 1st via PIAS and it is the first output after lead guitarist Chris Urbanowicz left the group due to musical differences in 2012.
