Another weird week release-wise. Some notes on what I've seen so far:

On the instrumental end (and some of the stuff i'm most excited about this week):

** Khruangbin & Vieux Farka Toure - Ali (i hoped this would be good -- exceeded expectations on first listen, can't wait to play through some more)

** Makaya McCraven - In These Times

** The Comet is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam (Shabaka Hutchings' jazz-funk/psych-rock outfit)

** Elusive - Kosmological Glitches

** Aesop Rock - Spirit World instrumentals



Not a lot of stuff of interest on the hip hop side, but there is:

** Brother Ali - Goin' Through It (3 song single)

** A new RAP Ferreira single, "mythsysizer instinct" prod. by kenny segal

** And a Rap Ferreira-does-blues project under the name Crow Billiken, an EP called "If I don't have red I use blue"


Random stuff catching my eye:

** Silvana Estrada - Abrazo EP

** Sharky - People Are Strange (TruThoughts release)

** new Natalia Lafourcade single, original material with a full-length coming soon (!) - "De todas las flores"
