Orkney: Symphony Of The Magnetic North (The Magnetic North) #NNR7
This album is at once as monumental as a menhir and as intimate as the unspoken. Each mound speaks to every inch of skin, each wave to every thought, each note to every step, and the whole delights the heart just as much as the mind. It is grand and beautiful, subtle and deeply human. Perfectly unclassifiable, with its classical elements blended with electronic music and the folk sounds of the vast northern moors, "Orkney: Symphony Of The Magnetic North" takes its place here

Ruin everything (Les big byrd)
Less experimental than its predecessor, the new album by the Swedish band Les Big Byrd, titled Ruin Everything, is a fireworks display of krautrock melodies that blend ’70s guitars with ’80s keyboards, all carried by spellbinding choruses that evoke both disillusionment and nostalgia, in both English and Swedish, giving the whole a lanky pop vibe.

High on the low brow (Datura 4)
With High on the Low Brow, Datura 4 deliver an album of great sonic maturity, summoning the spirits of the desert in their trippy stoner rock, boogie, and even jazz when the mood strikes, with heavy use of organ and saxophone, for nearly 45 minutes of auditory pleasure.
