The unplanned shows are often the best, and with chronic jet lag and a heap of good records the weekends Awkward Movements show for NTS turned out to be a new favourite for time.
Probably didn’t hype up the new Beatrice Dillon (pictured above) plate on Where To Now? enough given it sat at the top of the show, but damn it’s good. Where To Now? has got to be one of the best curated labels around at the moment, likewise with Room40 who also seem to have artists appearing in every show of late, this time around it was Eric Griswald with a cut from his new LP Pain Avoidance Machine.
Howlround taking on a remix of Devon Loch, the collaborative force of Neek and Amos Childs as O$VMV$M get in there, new Seekersinternational birthing a new label, the Finders Keepers reissue of Ami Shavit and twenty-odd other tracks which all made for a cracking two hours. We also (somewhat unintentionally) managed to get away with playing a whole side of El Mahdy Jr’s new record, which was a win for everybody as it’s damn amazing.
