Shout outs:
Music I've loved over the last couple months, lot of guitars in here - it's just what I've been feeling.
Whirlybird - Borough Trash
Whirlybird's Borough Trash has been one of my favourites since I first heard it all the way back in 2020 when it was performed as part of a charity livestream hosted by the band, Lowertown. There's something about this one that feels really bright, yet nostalgic (not in an overbearing way, though) and it never fails to put me in a better mood. It's a solid jam and my favourite lyric has to be "If time makes no sense then, spring forward and fall back again" - I've been buzzing about this line to bascially anyone who'll listen. Whirlybird (like all the musicians on here) deserves so much more recognition than they currently get, so I'd implore you to give it a go if you're into indie rock.
Harry Teardrop - Midtown
2.
Midtown by Harry Teardrop has been in heavy rotation since it dropped a couple of months ago, loving the sound on this one, there's an interesting mid-section where everything sort of switches up, I always anticipate that part because it goes so hard.
Hana Stretton - Soon
3.
The new Hana Stetton album has been part of my daily morning routine for the last week, it's so calming and I can really picture the landscape in Australia due to the wonderful incorporation of ambient sounds/textures. To be honest, I'd recommend the whole album from front to back, which is why I've linked the bandcamp page. There's a stong folky vibe on this one, but if you're going to listen, do it when you're outside, preferably walking!
noah - can't swim/leave it
4.
A slightly older pair of tracks (released 2021) than what I was originally planning on putting on this list, but I've really gotten into noah's music recently, so I thought I'd add it, theres an ever present lofi (tape?) atmosphere gives everything this warm, fuzzy feeling which I cannot get enough of also the short film is absolutely beautiful!
JPEGMAFIA x Danny Brown - Garbage Pale Kids
5.
Peggy's done it again! Danny Brown was so much fun on this one. You have to just experience this one...so, so good.

so captivated by the way hana stretton builds their songs, only way that feels right to describe it is textural, layered and woven so intimately together that they feel like a..... map of a place, or a memory of a place and what happened there - the crunch of brush and dirt beneath your feet, the family dog panting, a relative calling out to you in the distance, hummed lullabies rolling over each other as if you’re in between awake and asleep and time starts to get fuzzy. i want to live in this song!!!! riyl grouper, lomelda, adrianne lenker

Old As The Hills: That Would Be 570,000,000 years
I recall being told by my geography teacher (aeons ago) that the Shropshire uplands comprised some of the world’s most venerable rocks i.e from the Precambrian era. The hills in question lie either side the Church Stretton fault, just across the Long Mynd from where we live now in Bishop’s Castle. On the east of the Stretton Valley are Lawley, Caer Caradoc and Ragleth, all formed from volcanic…

Although it's difficult to get the same perspective, this is a south-looking view of Bailey's Hotel (now The Metropole) before the widening of the promenade.
Stretton House (seen in the period photograph) remained to be named Stretton Hotel up until 2019 before being renamed The Starlux Hotel.
