We're back again! This time, we have Help Me Out Somehow (Tilikum), 25 handpicked selections from the worldwide independent underground. The title is a mash-up of two tracks that are included here. The first half is from Harborcoat's contribution (jangly Michigan college rock), also a side project of The Stick Arounds' guitar player Matt Carlson, and the second half comes from Airspace's contribution (Whale-song heavy melodic rock).
Elsewhere, we welcome back Big Stir Records alumni The Brothers Steve. They blow us away with their take on classic glam pomp revival. We also have a contribution from Tiny Room Records in the form of Astral Swans' vintage-inclined indie folk, and Vlimmer return with their sinister-sounding take on darkwave. There is an OJAL spin-off project, named Volfodemo (new wave coldwave), Ted Hajnasiewicz returns with his latest band HebbaJebba (glorious and loving Hammond sound roots rock), and some members of Ordinary 5 reappear as The Fizzgates (90s-influenced indie rock). As always, please download, listen loud, dig deeper with your discoveries, and support Aldora Britain Records and independent music.
There are a number of fresh faces too, kicked off by the colossal synth rock of Kat And The Hurricane. Following this, we have lo-fi Scottish indie folk rock from Hospital Corner, aquatic jazz explosions from Seas Of Mirth, and experimental synth-leaning folk from Aerhart. Dean Didn't Care give us noir post-punk revival, Your Gaze deliver some emotively-charged sludgegaze, and Mekong bring the punchy urban post-punk.
There is huge heartfelt alt rock from Infinity Broke, a jangly shoegaze adventure from Absolute Future, and a bluesy folk shuffle from Mark Harrison. Skrekk & Guro get continental with a joyous Nordic folk odyssey, Creeks And Kills contribute their dark jangly siren songs, and Awelia brings us melancholic alternative folk. To wind down, we have the French jazz pop of Garcon De Plage, the expansive post-punk sound of The Colour Fades, the industrial post-punk take of The Alibies, and the French experimental prog of Arthur Davenport.
A special thank you to all the artists involved and the music lovers that keep coming back to AB Records each and every week. You are the beating heart of our worldwide community. Have a great week and see you next time.
