V/A ‘Psychedelic Pernambuco’ [Mr Bongo]
[Compilation – Psychedelic/Folk]
Far to the north-east of Brazil’s twin musical capitals of Rio and São Paulo, lies the city of Recife, in the state of Pernambuco. During the country’s lengthy and oppressive military dictatorship (1964-1985), a cadre of like-minded and socially conscientious musicians were quietly building their own music scene, away from the glare of the censors.

Smoove & Turrell ‘Eccentric Audio’ [Jalapeno]
[Album – Soul/Funk]

Geordie duo Smoove & Turrell release their second album ‘Eccentric Audio’ this summer on Jalapeno Records. All questions about a difficult second album are brushed aside with the first listen which shows vocalist John Turrell at the top of his game while Smoove delivers a timeless production that references but never mimics the greats of soul, hip hop, jazz and rhythm and blues.

Rough Fields ‘Watery Fable’ (Bomb Shop)
[Single – Leftfield Electronic Folk]

Rough Fields is the operating name of James Birchall from Manchester, UK, which brings together the disparate strands of Birchall’s previous musical paths through folk, classical, rock, minimalism, electronica, electro-acoustic and experimental composition. The project began at the end of 2010 when an period of isolation lead to a lot of time spent alone in a studio with a range of instruments, plenty of booze and a reasonable degree of introspection.
