As the leaves turn golden Jason Barnard previews autumn 2018 releases.
Drawing inspiration from French chamber music and 60’s chanteuse pop, Tim Carr’s new single ‘Long Enough Along For The Ride’ would fit perfectly on the BBC’s Killing Eve soundtrack. This track weaves a dash of fellow Californian Arthur Lee with Love’s European contemporaries and is one of the highlights from his new EP ‘Swing & Turn’.

Whilst Spiritualized’s ‘Fucked Up Inside’ LP dates from 1993, the new Black Vinyl Edition highlights that 25 years on Jason Pierce is still ahead of the pack.
Recorded during Spiritualzed’s first US tour at the Crest Theatre in San Diego and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in November 1992, we hear stunning versions of three songs from ‘Lazer Guided Melodies’, ‘Pure Phase’ and Spaceman 3’s ‘Walking With Jesus’. Available from glassredux.bandcamp.com/album/fucked-up-inside
‘Sophia’ from Terry Emm’s new EP, Ornate, is wistful acoustic psychedelia with an introverted darkness. His ode to the mythological Greek goddess of wisdom will enchant fans on Clifford T Ward and vintage acid folk. Hear more at terryemm.co.uk
‘Colour’s vol.4 Green’ continues The Clockwork Flowers rich vein of albums over the past three years. As always these six songs are meticulously written and produced, with ‘Luminous Spinning Discs’ embodying 67 era The Byrds and ‘What’s The Matter With You’ is another psychedelic indie pop treat. The Lennon-esque ‘Waiting For Time’ closes another strong collection from John and Anthea Bliss. Available later this autumn, enter their world at theclockworkflowers.com
Joshua KYEOT’s new single ‘S-Block’ from his EP ‘She Loves Me Not’, continues to shine a light on this skillful songwriter. ‘S-Block’ adds a infectiously simple rock edge to Joshua’s soulful heartbreak. Check out Joshua on Spotify and the usual digital platforms.
Carla J. Easton’s ‘Milk & Honey’ has a superb ‘Sesame Street’ style music video, a great taster of her inventive new album ‘Impossible Stuff’. More please at carlajennifereaston.com
