This week brings a new album from Pretty Boy Crossover, and a wonder it is too. Next week I’ll do a retrospective, or at least play a couple of older tracks of theirs along with some more new stuff. We also have various reissues, from The For Carnation and White Noise, along with a wonderful new Kettel album which collects tracks from one of my favourite of his 12″s along with new material.
Also on the new front, we have Epic 45’s new album, plus the debut CD from English singer/harpist Serafina Steer, and the latest signing to the Moteer label, need more sources, who brings us an extraordinary mix of classical-influenced compositions with folktronic production as only Moteer can seemingly do at the moment. And finally, we’ve got a few tracks from recent releases on Canada’s brilliant Sublight label, which has sadly ceased operation as of this month. Their online store remains open for the rest of the year, and I recommend grabbing stuff while you can.
