Nilüfer Yanya – Binding

There’s a three track run in the middle of Nilüfer Yanya’s new album My Method Actor that is so good that after a few listens I’ve convinced this is the best album released this year so far. Time will tell if that remains to be the case, but for now it’s made me a) cry with happiness and b) want to listen to it multiple times every day. It feels that despite consistently excellent reviews of her music, Yanya hasn’t received quite the recognition she deserves as yet. Hopefully that will now start to change.

Pale Jay – The Simple Days

RIP summer! It was fun while it lasted, but we’re done with you, and with the first Friday of Autumn we can welcome a load of interesting new album releases. Top of the pile is Pale Jay’s Low End Love Songs, possibly my most anticipated album of the year and which starts with the most glorious opening track I’ve heard in ages. Plus, it’s just in time for my birthday! Thanks, Jay. ❤

Katatonic Silentio – Bridging The Gap

Mariachiara Troianiello aka Katatonic Silentio continues her exploration of spatial, experimental sound design on her new EP Axis Of Light, slicing and splicing various forms of dub, techno and breaks while following her instincts towards storytelling in each track. Bridging The Gap is skeletal, paranoid, sketchy and extremely good.

Tomu DJ – Pretty

“The story of my life doesn’t exist. Does not exist. There’s never any center to it. No path, no line. There are great spaces where you pretend there used to be someone, but it’s not true, there was no one. I started to write in surroundings that drove me to reticence. Writing, for those people, was still something moral. Nowadays it often seems writing is nothing at all. Sometimes I realize that if writing isn’t, all things, all contraries confounded, a quest for vanity and void, it’s nothing.”

Molina – Organs feat. ML Buch

Danish-Chilean artist Molina’s new album When You Wake Up is due out in October, and last week she shared the latest single, teaming up with TPW favourite ML Buch on Organs. According to Molina, Organs is “a fusion of our individual approaches to perceiving melodies, recordings, and sound in general” while incorporating their “mutual attraction to catchy melodies”.

Bathe Alone – Blame Me (Night Tapes Remix)

Bathe Alone is the dreampop solo project of multi-instrumentalist Bailey Crone from Atlanta, Georgia. Bailey plays everything from drums, guitar, bass to vocals on the project and aims to create songs you can “lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling to.” I’m currently mainlining everything Night Tapes make and my critical faculties have been suspended. Is this good? I think so?

Sega Bodega, Oklou – Komodo

August hasn’t been the most exciting month for new releases, but trance is here to save us once again. Four years ago Oklou and Sega Bodega to cover Italian trance titan Maurco Picotto’s Komodo – which I guess was a very low key version of all those celebs getting together to murder Believe in lockdown – and today it gets a wide release, proving once again that trance is Best Genre Of Music. Komodo (Save a Soul) heavily sampled Deep Forest’s Sweet Lullaby, a reworking of which was included in one of my favourite mixes of all time. So many layers!
