TOLEDO

Track: Flake  From: How It Ends (album) Label: Grand Jury Music Out: Album out 23.09.22

Although this project of lifelong friends, Dan Álvarez de Toledo and Jordan Dunn-Pilz has only really been releasing music since the original lockdowns, the sheer critical acclaim afforded the brilliance of their Jockeys of Love EP and Hotstuff album, means the forthcoming How It Ends album is eagerly awaited.

This fourtn single from the album does nothing to dampen such enthusiasm.

Track: Trophy Case  From: Psalms to Strip To (EP) Label: Temporal Records Out: Now

Bummer Camp

Track: So Last Year  From: Bummer Camp (EP) Label: Self released Out: EP out 26 August 2022

Jet City Sports Club

Track: Green Thumb  From: Green Thumb (Single) Label: Access Out: Now

Long Tall Jefferson & Aloa Input

Track: Everything Lost In Space From: Everything Lost In Space (single) Label: Self released Out: Now

Summed up perfectly by the promo they submitted:

“Certainly the collaboration of cloud folk song writer Long Tall Jefferson and Future Kraut combo Aloa Input must sound like a tomorrow’s train ride: soft and strange, epic and dreamy.

Robotique Dylan guitars rise like a rainbow, a Mac de Marco drum beat comes along like a mellow cloud front and there comes Long Tall Jefferson, one of Switzerlands most beautiful voices, a tireless traveler and folk poet in the best sense.”
