Wow. Not only does this album stand out far beyond the rural splendour of his earlier works, there’s nothing else quite like this anywhere, no matter how far you travel to the edges of the known musical map. 

In the same way that we’ve adored Lankum for their daring repurposing of the “Folk toolkit”, we’re astonished by Jim Ghedi’s ingenuity & the sheer power of his expansive 4th solo LP, shifting from ear-caressing tranquillity to chest-thumping doom in the blink of a song. We’re down to our last few Dinked edition copies; you can pinch one if you’re quick!

Also out this week: 

KEG & Circuit Des Yeux both have fabulous new albums ripe for adding to your Dinked collection; Steven Wilson’s sounding even more out of this world (& don’t forget we have album entry bundles for his Meet & Greet & Signing on Wednesday 19th March); BAMBARA’s melodic post-punk continues to enchant (& so do the limited zines we have!); The Loft return to start what they finished, with their debut album, 39 years after they disbanded; Throwing Muses’ stripped-back grunge-icana has us throwing shapes; we’ve never heard an album like Edwyn Collins’ new’un before, & the limited postcard sets are things of beauty; clipping. over-stimulate, over-power, & over-achieve with their latest cyber-punk rap wonder of the world

Reissues-wise, Juniore are giving it a little 'Ouh La La', World Party are showing why they're the 'Best In Show', Scratch Acid have gone beserk, Steve Reich has collected up all of his works, Q Lazzarus is wishing goodbye to horses, and you can pick up the rest of the best from The Pogues!
