Things We Didn’t Know A Month Ago: November 2022 Keith Goldhanger has spent November 2022 trawling by way of new releases while additionally catching up with one or two new acts which have beforehand managed to flee his consideration.

November 2022 and Soccer’s coming Dwelling(ophobic).

One in all us sat down for days (an hour) this month trawling by way of the mess of soccer associated tunes made accessible this month and ENGINE from Leeds gained the battle of World Cup soccer associated tunes. Bloods Received The World In Movement is a track reflecting corruption, oppression and human struggling with a catchy chorus reminding us that it will not be coming dwelling. On the time of writing Soccer’s nonetheless received its suitcase on the mattress and may’t make up it’s thoughts whether or not it’ll be welcomed again seeing as if soccer 2022 appears to be sound tracked by Freed by Need, half and half scarves and crowds which have misplaced the desire to have fun objectives any extra.

Away from the not so lovely sport anymore and one in every of us has been paying consideration once more to Denmark’s LOWLY who’ve a brand new album (due out within the new 12 months on Bella Union) and have just lately offered us with a few tunes in preparation to this. You Are Good And I Love You was the tune that raised the eyebrows and pricked the ears up this month. Again in that golden 12 months of 2014 the band launched what continues to be the closest any band have gotten to sounding just like the Swedish pop quartet identified to our dad and mom as Abba (Daydreamers). This new tune is a gloriously odd, lovely foot taping digital tune that brings no less than one in every of us again on observe with the bands actions after they have been briefly put to at least one facet after discovering additional releases tough to swallow in a single go. Lowly do make tough and difficult music however every so often their title might be connected to one thing one will discover themselves struggling to place down. That is fabulous and desires listening to.

If final month’s collection of new stuff contained the odd band or two that we caught throughout Cardiff’s Sŵn Pageant there are nonetheless extra names from Cardiff which have caught the eye. CONNIE CONSTANCE was a reputation really useful to us earlier than heading west nonetheless we didn’t have the pleasure of being entertained by singer from Watford that weekend resulting from a lot else to select from throughout town. Pink Flag, the ultimate observe on her just lately launched album Miss Energy is the standout observe on this. It’s an epic piece of music that builds slowly and gently earlier than exploding like no different tune all 12 months has. We’d all watch Britain’s Received Expertise if stuff like this was on it and deserves 4 minutes of anybody’s time.

POZI, who typically one in every of us thinks might be Sleaford Mods backing band if Andrew Fearn ever determined to take a relaxation are again with one other winner (right here). ITALIA 90 have reached the half they reached when one other go to was paid to see them reside final month with their new observe from a forthcoming eagerly awaited album (right here). LE JUNK has one other magnificence accessible (right here) …… typically this stuff get omitted as a result of they don’t really feel as new anymore. In a nutshell we hope you’re maintaining and getting these heard yourselves with out the prompting (however simply in case……)

PAUL THOMAS SAUNDERS is one other instance. He was talked about 8 years in the past after just a few small gigs and fabulous debut album. Then he went away to turn out to be a RNLI lifeboat member and a paramedic earlier than getting a second and equally beautiful album launched (Determine In A Panorama). His efficiency at John Kennedy’s (Radio X, Xposure….I don’t point out this present sufficient) Treatment evening just lately was a really particular expertise and the brand new album is one to go to mattress to. (Hear his current tune right here)

SCOTT LEVENE‘s gig at Paper Costume Classic (East London) a 12 months or so in the past was additionally an evening to recollect and now after just a few extra reveals across the nation he’s again with Prettiest Peaces (Right here). Sensible stuff but once more from the person from Essex.

While many people are nonetheless up within the air about Glastonbury subsequent 12 months it was pleasing to be reminded of one in every of 2022’s private highlights throughout the lengthy week in Somerset. ENJOYABLE LISTENS within the West Holts bar Thursday evening was a deal with to behold for anybody who caught the present . That is his newest. Catch these reside if you happen to can and witness an awesome entertaining expertise.

Lastly, filed below ‘The place the fuck did this come from’ this observe by MERYL STREEK might be the angriest and scariest tune round in the meanwhile. It starts like Pleasure Division till the voice arrives to take you someplace you didn’t realise you have been going. The journey this chap’s music takes you on is a tragic however enlightening one. There’s an album of tunes (796 on Venn data) just lately launched that has a great deal of nice swearing in acceptable locations throughout the dozen very good tracks that it is advisable hear. It’s as thrilling as Bob Vylan and as gripping as Sleaford Mods once we first started to get our heads across the thought of a bloke shouting politically charged grievances over a really agreeable soundtrack.

Dying to the Landlord is an honest place to begin. Different subject material on this Irishman’s repertoire contains the Catholic church, suicide, crime, lacking kids…it’s onerous hitting, it’s nicely executed, and one feels that is made by a person who might have skilled these topics at nearer quarters than you or I’ll have.

Hold a watch out for some reveals over the subsequent few months and be part of no less than one in every of us within the queue.

Subsequent years factor all sorted earlier than Christmas then xx
