Proper Sunday Fear kicking in right now, fending it off with some decent tracks like...
Gong - Love Is How You Make It
I first heard this track on Four Tet's DJ Kicks comp. I hear he's now hanging out with Skrillex and serial Wikipedia fiddler and son of King's Counsel barrister Charles Anthony Warneford Gibson, Fred Again. He looks happy.
Aphex Twin - QKThr
This was trending on Spotify last month amongst Aphex tracks. Apparently, it was popular on TikTok with the #corecore. I don't know what this means. Know Your Meme says "Many corecore edits hark on sadness, depression and loneliness with many using sad slideshow audios." OK, pal.
Newyddion / Geraint Davies - Arwyr
Proper good 80s indie pop, a little like Prefab Sprout, which features on a comp called Caneuon yr 80au: Dal i Freuddwydio that came out last year on Sain Records.
Bando - Shampw
Same era as Newyddion, but a completely different vibe, this is slick disco funk yn Gymraeg.
The Clash - The Magnificent Dance
A bassline that can walk for days, when people say punk funk, this is right up there with ESG.
Suburban Lawns - Flavor Crystals
I promise we'll move on from the 80s in this list soon, but for now it's Suburban Lawns from 1983. Its angular post-punk has a bassline that reminds me of Milk and Alcohol by Dr Feelgood or maybe it's something else entirely. Good though.
Comet Gain - Love Without Lies
Right, this came out in 2008 but it's still pure post-punk revival indie sleaze. The best I can do right now. Not sure how I missed this at the time?
The Bucketheads - The Bomb
I always thought it was 'peace and boogie in my mi-i-ai-ind'. Apparently, it's 'these sounds fall into my mind'. Fun time commercial house from 1995.
Ginuwine - Pony (Rustie Remix)
Genuinely gutted I only just learned this existed. Like Comet Gain, how the hell I missed this when it came out I'll never know. It's disappeared off SoundCloud but my word what a ripper. In related news, it looks like Rustie is returning. Get. In.
