Album of the Week – 11/06/21

Thank goodness for Dustin O’Halloran, for many reasons of course, but mostly as he released an album on this most quiet of weeks! Otherwise, there are slim pickings, to be honest. There are EPs from Andy Bell (of Ride called Another View) and Phosphorescent (The BBC Sessions EP). There are also new albums from Danny Elfman (Big Mess), Sleater-Kinney (Path Of Wellness), Rose Riebl (Do Not Move Stones) and Hyunhye Seo (of Xiu Xiu – it’s called Strands) but if I’m being honest, none of them really captured my imagination… so an album of piano music from Dustin is my recommendation of the week!
