Music I’ve bought in August.
I don’t recall buying this many things last month! It’s over 30 albums or something! Huh. So let’s see what we have…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-7S2UuboYEI bought an older Richard Dawson album, and it’s very nice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZABPcNFLGUGet in on the ground floor with a brand new band! I like the way it mixes crunchy sounds with pretty melodies. It’s kinda new and nostalgic at the same time — it reminds me of that brief time around 2005 when people were mixing pop and glitch (Cold House by Hood, Martin Finke’s final album and so on).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkT3ODAxmm8I saw jasmine.4.t at a music festival this month and then went home and bought the album. I like it!

And I went to a free jazz festival and bought an album by Stina Stjern, which was this embroidered pouch with a Bandcamp download code. I’m all for innovative packaging. And it’s shaped like a cassette, because she does these interesting cassette things:

Let’s see… what else of note… I’ve bought so much stuff that I’ve hardly had time to listen to it all.
