Album of the Week, 46: The Dreamweaver – Patrick Bartley’s DREAMWEAVER
Patrick Bartely might just be the most exciting alto saxophonist I have ever heard. I would even go as far to say that he rescued the instrument from a lifetime of me avoiding it. Despite my fond and foundational memories of school band, the ubiquity of alto saxophonists among my fellow bandmates had near enough…
Album of the Week, 45: Cheat Codes – Danger Mouse & Black Thought
This week, I’m digging into hip-hop, and one of the greatest collaborations to ever come from the genre.
Album of the Week, 44: Laugh ‘Till I Cry – Michael Kessler
This week, I am bringing forward an album that has reminded me, in the past two weeks since I first heard it, of the core purpose of music and its reason for existing in our lives. If I am being totally transparent, I have been getting bogged down recently in conversations surrounding AI music and…
Album of the Week, 43: Cymande – Cymande

Album of the Week, 40: All That You Can’t Leave Behind – U2
if I had never heard All That You Can’t Leave Behind, I am not sure that I would experience music in the same way that I do today.
Live Review: Joe Armon-Jones, Hackney Church
On a somewhat miserable Friday evening in October, I approach Hackney Church for the very first time; light beckons me inside from the tall church windows, and the dub sounds from Mia Koden’s record collection echo louder and louder as I walk through the grounds to the front of the church. Fortunately, any weather-induced gloom…
Album of the Week, 39: Mama’s Gun – Erykah Badu
My Album of the Week is the second studio release from Erykah Badu – Mama’s Gun – released on the 18th of November, 2000, on the Motown Records label.
Album of the Week, 38: Marram – Matt Carmichael
Drenched in tradition and heritage, yet bursting with a sense of modernity and excitement, Marram might just be one the best albums to listen to if you want to feel inspired yet nostalgic.
