Album of the Week – 23/10/26

There are new releases this week from the great William Basinski (Passing the Cup of Sorrows), along with Michael Kiwanuka (FUDGE) and Wolves in the Throne Room (Estuary).

If you’re looking for some new sounds, check out Fenne Lily (Win Win) and Sour Widows (Sigil). There’s also Caroline Rose with Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall.

For our Album of the Week, how could we resist Boa Morte’s new album Signal:Lost? They’re getting a lot of love around here…

Album of the Week – Signal:Lost – Boa Morte

From our Review by Killian Laher

“It’s a great-sounding album, with lovely production by James Darkin and the band. This is definitely one of the more esoteric albums you’ll hear this year. And the good news is they’ve promised a companion follow-up in March.”
