Arthur Russell – Telling No One

Picture of Bunny Rabbit features nine previously unreleased performances from legendary artist Arthur Russell, recorded around the time he released his career-defining album World of Echo. These newly discovered tracks have been compiled from completed masters culled from two unique test pressings, including one, dated 9/15/85 by Arthur, provided by his mother and sister, while a further four tracks were discovered in his tape archive. Profoundly haunting as ever, its a fascinating collection from an artist whose legacy continues to grow.

Lucrecia Dalt – Dicen

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

If Mondays generally make you feel tense and anxious, I’d suggest maybe skipping this one; and maybe the entire album from which it is taken. Lucrecia Dalt’s new album ¡Ay! does have contain some lovely melodies and lighter moments, but most of them are buried beneath twitchy, sketchy layers; rattling off-kilter percussion; warped, half-whispered vocals. It’s undeniably beautiful, but in a slightly panic-inducing way. And this weird video – despite it focussing on someone gently floating in water – is pretty much the opposite of relaxing.
