2 singles have now been released from the new album - Closure/Continuation schedule for release 22 June 22.

I've got the album pre-ordered, but I'm not keen on these single releases (much like The Future Bites) as when the album eventually appears half of it will be out already. I like to hear an album as a whole - to get the context. Anyway the 2 singles so far:

Harridan


Of the New Day

I tend to buy a couple of books at a time from charity shops. Not a great choice often but now and again a gem turns up.

Notable for me are Big Big train, A Formal Horse, Mastodon and Frost* in the list, but even better to see black midi and Shamblemaths at 2 and 1.

My favourite albums of 2021:

A Formal Horse - Meat Mallet
Evership - The Uncrowned King
Perfect Storm - No Air
Frost* - Day and Age
black midi - Cavalcade
VOLA - Witness
The Emerald Dawn - To Touch the Sky
Konom - Konom
Big Big Train - Common Ground
Porcupine Tree - House of Blues
Caligonaut - Magnified as Giants
Shamblemaths - Shamblemaths II

Some other good ones that need a bit more of my attention:

Motorpsycho - Kingdom of Oblivion
Gojira - Fortitude
French TV - All Our Failures Are Behind Us
Mostly Autumn - Graveyard Star
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - L.W
Jordsjø - Pastoralia

Only had one play so far but have potential:

Elephant9 - Arrival Of The New Elder
Needlepoint - Walking up That Valley
Squid - Bright Green Field
The The - The Comeback Special (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

Business or pleasure?

Haha, certainly not pleasure. If the earth has an arsehole, the Falkland Islands is it. I don't think many people would ever choose to holiday there.

Pendragon - Love Over Fear   what a great album this is.
Marillion - An Hour Before It's Dark   I didn't like this at all on first listen, in fact I couldn't even make it to the end. But I persevered and it is growing on me, but I'll never really like Steve Hogarth's vocals.

Series 3 of A Discovery of Witches - more of the same. It's OK but not mind-blowing 7/10
