This week's collection is entitled Hearing Voices and Quiet Noises, 24 fresh grassroots selections from around the globe. The title is taken from a song by our good friend Jon Fazal. The song, 'Cormoran', also opens this compilation and snapshots how far Fazal has come since his previous release, 2020's News From Nowhere. As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
We welcome back French rockabilly kings The Twangy & Tom Trio who deliver a blues kick. Big Stir Records also return and we are honoured to feature a song from their recent Tenth Wave compilation. The pick comes from the melodically-inclined Icecream Hands. Jack Law makes his third appearance in as many weeks. This time he features as part of his original band, 70s Scottish folk rock outfit Greenmantle.
There are two EXCLUSIVE offerings as well. Firstly from Dos Cobros, a fresh and unreleased track from their upcoming cyberpunk record. Secondly, Blackjack Illuminist Records boss, Alexander Leonard Donat, debuts his brand new project, the atmospheric synthwave duo Distance Dealer.
Elsewhere, we have the primal budget rock of The Implosions, the raucous garage rock revival of The Lee Harveys and the outlaw cowpunk of White Rose Motor Oil. Thea Ennen delivers a singer/songwriter masterclass with Dave Ja Vue, Ben Wilson opens his heart with a tender country folk track and Blues for Neighbors give us a deeply noir foray into gothic Americana. There is grungy prog rock from Aliceissleeping, Smiths-inspired punk from Mommy's Cigarettes and hard and heavy rock from Petrelli.
Sometimes Julie contribute some alternative art rock, Wouter Thijssen takes a new wave detour and Feverjaw give us catchy melodic rock. There is lo-fi art rock from Blackout Orchestra, lo-fi indie pop from The Home Stretch and cosmic alternative from Absynth Quartet. This week we close with the pagan folk of Stone Poets, the experimental art rock of Paul Inglis and the kindhearted indie folk of Anthea Feaver.
Special thank you to all the artists involved and the music lovers that keep coming back to AB Records. Enjoy, play loud and see you next week!
