Long overdue that I got me the first of the lot ;-) Afaik the debut under the Dodson and Fogg moniker. As always, delightful psychedelic folk songs (with some notable guests, Nik Turner and Judy Dyble among them).

Confluence

Sail away on these foamy atmospheric electronic tracks that swell and expand slowly and patiently.

With their blend of playfulness and graduate-level instrumentation, Dorcha deftly prove that improvisational zeal and conservatory-level precision aren't mutually exclusive.

Shaggy and enchanting indie rock tinged with a psyche-kraut vibe, straight outta' Manchester, England.

Four Each Other - 1969
by The Contents Are
supported by 5 fans who also own “Whistling Jigs To The Moon”
"Through You" is one of my favorite private press finds, a magical album, and I was astonished to find that a band as seemingly obscure as The Contents Are actually had a whole high-quality studio album of material like this! "Four Each Other" is surprisingly top notch, the writing/playing/recording is fantastic. No studio recording could match the twilight magic of "Through You" but this album is an incredible find nonetheless. This band was GREAT. Miracles still happen!
