‘Hommage á Noir’ | Ralf Hildenbeutel | Hommage á Noir LP | Phelt Phinds 008

While a city-wide lockdown is quiet, the lack of social interaction can be deafening. ‘Hommage á Noir’ is a record that’s beautiful and conducive to a remedial state of introspection.

Music

‘Presence’ | Anieszka | Single | Phelt Phinds 007

I think “Aspire to inspire” is my favourite lyric of 2021. It’s uplifting. It’s motivating. It’s beautiful. If you’re in a rut, weave this into your daily mantra.

Music

‘Alone’ | Q | The Shave Experiment: Director’s Cut LP | Phelt Phinds 006

Streaming platforms provide an algorithmic buffet of falsetto professionals, making standing out in a sea of talent increasingly difficult. This is what makes the emergence of Q Marsden so unique. The virtually unsearchable solo artist is forging his own distinct path in a very crowded space.

Music

‘When I Learned Your Name’ | Modern Pressure LP | Daniel Romano | Phelt Phinds 005

‘When I Learned Your Name’ is the kind of song you wish you wrote – but if you listen carefully enough, it just might be. This is a song of self-discovery, self-realisation and self-celebration.

Music

‘Time (You & I)’ | Khruangbin | Mordechai LP | Phelt Phinds 004

Arriving as track two off their sophomore LP Mordechai, (named after a beautiful stranger that irrevocably changed vocalist/bassist Laura Lee’s life for the better) there’s something super precious about this record.

Music

‘Loveroom’ | Frank Harris & Maria Marquez | Echoes LP | Phelt Phinds 003

Acting as a time capsule into generally forgotten eras and sub-genres, re-press explorations of this kind are certainly a trend we notice growing in existence, and a welcomed one at that.

Music

‘Life Is Perfecto’ | CFCF | memoryland LP | Phelt Phinds 002

Glitchy effects and snatches of conversation create their own urban network; uploading images of busy trains, digital billboards and peak hour rush. Inspired by Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s 2001 film Millennium Mambo, ‘Life Is Perfecto’ launches you through flashing tunnels, eases you down coastal highways, bringing you safely back to the city fringe.

Music

‘Chasing It’ | Baba Stiltz | Journals EP | Phelt Phinds 001

Beautiful in its simplicity, defined by melancholy guitar and languid drums, this feels like you’ve landed in a saloon. Not the kind where bar fights are a regularity but rather where folks relax, sip brews and tell warm tales.

Music

On The Tease | Call Me If You Get Lost | Tyler, The Creator

Opening with a monologue about his nomadic nature, Tyler recalls some of his memorable stops along the way from chasing dolphins on jet skis to holidays in Vienna. Right now though, it’s all about an undisclosed patisserie that leads him to his dream girl.

Music

Actual Life | ‘Julia (Deep Diving)’ | Fred again…

“I’m deep-diving into your emotions and sometimes I think I might be broke…but your bringing back all my feelings…and I fucking love it…and I just want to be with you.”

Music

Hyperactive Harmony | Tierra Whack | ‘Unemployed’ | COLORS

“The wait is over, I’m takin’ over, you’re overweight, you ate a soda, I’m super sober, you doin’ coke…Coca-Cola.”

Music

Chance Encounters | ‘Live in…New York City’ Album Release | Tex Crick

“There’s always people talkin’, a glass chinking or something over the top of the band… I like how it builds an image in your mind…It takes you back to a time and place, whether you’ve been there or not.”

Music

Girl Eats Sun | Hope Tala

“It’s none of my business really…once my songs are out in the world, it’s up to whoever’s listening to relate it to their own experiences and make their own minds up. That’s what’s great about art.”

Music

Clever Bars | MF DOOM

“Yeah…you might’ve seen me in your local electronics store…but you’d never know though.”

Music

What Tenet Sounds Like | Ludwig Göransson

“I spent a great deal of time taking familiar sounds and manipulating them…so they reflected the complex world of Tenet.”

Music

A Renaissance Man | Action Bronson

“Just to watch everyone in pure bliss and in their element, it’s captivating. It’s like watching animals run…I love watching animals run.”
