Who needs who? No time for editorials, repeat, replete, reheat, let the actual music do the actual walking and the actual talking. Exact same thing as last time once again, another five (or so) slices of music that have passed our way recently, five slices of music cherry picked for your delight and however you like to slice it and of course it was the price of bird seed and…

Five? There’s something rather compelling about five. Cross-pollination? Five more? Is there another way? A better way? A cure for pulling flying swordfish out of the clouds? Is there a rhyme? Is there a reason? What do reasons make? Five more? Cake oil? Snake oil? Bake the oil, everything must go somewhere and no, we never do and the proof of the pudding is in that proof reading. When we started this thing, oh never mind, it doesn’t matter why we started this damn thing, we never should have done and like we asked last time, does anyone bother reading the editorial? We do really try to listen to everything that comes in, we are very (very) very very picky about what we actually post on these fractured pages or about what gets played on the radio or indeed what we hang in a gallery.

Cut to the chase, never mind the editorial, skip this bit, there’s music further down the page, five or so pieces of music that have come our way in the last few days and what’s Wordsworth? Just the basic facts and links and those sounds (and visuals), that’s surely all you need from us on these Five pages we reguarly post?

Here we go, five more slices of music that have recently come our way, this time we start somewhere in Toulouse, France…

1: Slift – More Slift, more of the much anticipated new album, there can never be too much Slift, this is The Day of Execution from Fantasia out June 5th, 2026 via Sub Pop. Are they sounding a little more bombastic and a little less subtle this time around? We shall wait until we hear the whole thing, we shall wait to see what unfolds… Links

Previously –

ORGAN THING: A First taste of the much awaited new album from French progheads Slift; “A storm of wings is coming!” so shout the band…

ORGAN THING: Slift at Camden’s Electric Ballroom – The materialisation of a rotating, cellular, hovering globe heralds their arrival – three mysterious silhouettes, backlit by this fourth presence…

ORGAN THING: This is massive, everything about Slift is massive, this is a towering album, exhilarating, more than that though, these songs are big. ‘Ilion’, the French Prog band’s Sub pop debut, isn’t just about…

2: American Football – Wake Her Up (ft. Wisp) is taken from ‪American Football’s LP4 – out this week. There is a full review written and ready to be psoted any moment, it really is a gorgeous album, they”ve never really moved me that much before, the link that will take you to the album review will be posted here in a moment, we’re playing catch up here….

3: Spacemoth – “Spacemoth’s Inward Eye is a journey through inner and outer worlds, blending cosmic psychedelic pop with pulsating rhythms and looping textures inspired by nature and memory. Written on the road and shaped in motion, the album expands Maryam Qudus’ sound into something more dynamic and immersive. Alongside Spacemoth, Qudus has developed a body of work as a producer and engineer working with Toro y Moi, Spellling, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and La Luz. The result is a collection of hypnotic, cyclical songs that balance precision and openness, inviting listeners to drift through their own emotional landscapes”. Here’s a bag of links and down there under the video is the Bandcamp thing

The Bandcamp thing…

4: Kira Roessler and a first jazzy lounge lizzardy taste of Enigma, the second studio album from Kira Roessler (Black Flag, dos). Following her 2021 solo debut; “the record expands upon her minimalistic, bass driven sound, pairing stark arrangements with an understated emotional intensity…” Hey, look, a first taste, I rather like it, I shall happily sit of this fence and await more of the album released on ORG – Not on our label though, we might have released something like two hundred or more utterly vital albums, singles, compliations, tapes and more on our label ORG but that didn’t stop this lot from L.A. taking liberties and nicking the name, if we had a lawyer, then she’s be in touch. Do like this first taste, the gut punch, the letting it all loose….

5: Jeffrey Alexander + The Heavy Lidders – something called Critical Masses that landed here today, today being whatever day this is? A radio edit of a single, I hate radio edits, we never play them on the radio, give us the whole thing dammit. Something out on Riot Season, another label that stopped talking to us years and years ago. Go find your own links, I’ve done enough of this today, oh alright, here’s yer man’s website, you can do the rest. Dam fine single eve nif they have hacked almost three minutes of it

Critical Masses (5:00min radio edit) the full 7:48min version is on the LP Liquid Donnon, released on 12th June 2026 on Riot Season Records (UK) + Feeding Tube Records (USA)

And here’s a touch of Zahn, yes, that makes six, aren’t you lucky we’re (still) here to do all this, this is from late last year though, we can’t count it as one of yer actual five…

“Berlin trio Zahn deliver an intense, genre-blending sound that fuses Krautrock, Noise Rock, Post-Rock and electronic elements. Their album Adria takes listeners through bold, dystopian soundscapes, earning comparisons to NEU!, Swans and Tortoise. Zahn deliver a raw visceral experience, challenging the status quo without saying a single word….” so it says, whatever you want say us, ger down, deeper and down, here’s their Bandcamp

Here’s some more Spacemoth, this time from three years ago..
