Fine Creates a Dream-Pop Masterpiece With ‘Jazz dreams’ — AudioFuzz Best New Album: Fine delivers one of 2026’s most enchanting albums with ‘Jazz dreams’, a beautifully unpredictable journey through dream pop, psychedelic folk, chamber pop, and experimental… #DreamPop #JazzDreams #NewMusic

On a day when there is a new Fenne Lily album released (it's very good on first listen) it tells you something that the album below is my album of the week. A Danish singer songwriter who blurs genres beautifully. Fine - Jazz Dreams

Beth Orton last night was fabulous. A crowd of a certain age shall we say. Tonight I went to see Aimee Fatale, a completely different crowd, mainly students but she was fabulous too. Deserves to be huge.

A fantastic night spent with Beth Orton, and what a band. Adrian Utley joined the band for a few songs. Majestic.

Got live gigs on 2 consecutive nights this week. Acts at different stages of their career. One has released my favourite album of 2026 and one my favourite ep. So looking forward to both.

Revisiting this great album that was released in January. Still sounding great. Bristol band Langkamer with a 90s indie rock/alt-country/americana hybrid made with Pavement soundman Remko Schouten at his Zarzalico studios in Murcia, Spain.

Dark, brooding minimalist synth & bass-heavy, what's not to love... Apart from the whole Beth Orton album this is my song of the year... youtu.be/Q7BNSKE4u3k?...

This week I'm listening to albums beginning with C: Carla dal Forno - Come Around #MusicSky #AlphabetAlbumTitlesC #CarlaDalForno Sparse & evocative music. I love her detached delivery over minimal yet engaging music. Don't know why it works but it does carladalforno.bandcamp.com/album/come-a...

Really enjoyed Carla Dal Forno live last week. She was excellent. Sadly no videos of her uk dates on YouTube Here is the fantastic 'Going Out' in session for PBS Studio 5 live in Melbourne She is described as Post Punk, electro pop. Hopefully it floats some of your boats youtu.be/loXM5T6jgQA?...

And she was fab...

I only have 7 albums in my albums of the year playlist. A quiet year. 7 great albums though & the Beth Orton is a masterpice. If you have ever liked her music make sure you listen, or if you're a fan of latter day Talk Talk or peak Van Morrison. Truly special. Nailed on for number 1 in #5albums26
