Coming out of the Summer months and into Autumn there’s a slow trickle of new releases as we ramp up towards Xmas. Featured across the top are three Castles In Space acts including the Field Lines Cartographer performance at the label’s Levitation festival last month that I was was lucky enough to witness (possibly from just behind where this photo was taken actually as he was on after Graham Dunning and I).

I have to register an interest in the middle and middle left releases as I designed both covers; left is As One‘s new album (see previous post) and middle is Dave Barbarossa’s new venture, Third House and their Inside Outisde EP – out Nov 1st!. To their right is Fracture‘s SLOW860 – an ambient take on his 0860 pirate radio project, imagine the KLF‘s Chill Out recorded in Hackney rather than Memphis. So many sleeves with no titles on them this month, bottom left is Valentina Magaletti and Nidia‘s collaboration and far right is the new Floating Points on Ninja Tune. Tim Exile is BACK after his recent troubles (cancer, a failing business and newborn twins to look after) and has made an EP from his hospital bed as a thankyou to everyone who contributed to the fundraiser set up by his family. Good to hear he’s on the mend.

Oh and I probably should mention that there is NO Bandcamp Friday on the 1st but the platform is still your best bet for putting the largest slice of revenue into the hands of the artist and labels short of going to their shows or buying merch direct from them.
My latest ROVR radio show featuring some of these was aired on Friday Oct 25th and should be available to listen back to now via the ROVR live app APPLE or ANDROID
