Very much enjoying this Substack. The most exciting recent discovery is the collaboration between Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead and Dudu Tassa - an Israeli musician dong collaborations with Arabic musicians: https://youtu.be/6vs27UT4lsM?si=8hac8Xso3FhSH-UZ
I'm incapable of ignoring these questions when they pop up, even though (especially because?) this is literally what my newsletter is about, but here are a couple I don't think I've already mentioned elsewhere (and who have brand new releases):
Alex Izenberg https://open.spotify.com/album/3WzxlDLJxIRbVxWYRDITq8?si=FbhYXIHfQA6cLG2ra68s0Q - A little bit Donovan, a little bit Beatles, a little bit Fleet Foxes. I'm reminded of Andy Shauf, as far as more recent artists go, but it's kind of roots rock psychadelia, I guess? Not my usual cup of tea as a staunchly anti-folk girl, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Not recent by a long shot BUT when I first heard it around '84, I was so blown away and still feel elated every time I listen to it. The music, lyrics and especially the piano by Jools Holland, absolutely SOAR and fill me with joy.

Love this song: Axel Boman "Eyes of My Mind". Came on randomly while my extended family was in town visiting. It even caused my 19 year old nephew to prick up his ears! He texted me the next week for the title and info.

Peel Dream Magazine https://open.spotify.com/album/7jcawCW4w3uZL4MdpY2YOG?si=dhTC1S53SnOFR-OSI37alg - takes me back to mid 2000s/early 2010s twinkly indie pop days. Kind of like the Boy Least Likely To or I'm From Barcelona.

I'm sure no one needs to be told how good Orville Peck is, but this new one with Teddy Swims is killing in the best way possible: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=IuxWkHnwZ-8&si=8jcKdBtTnq9tPUW4
Cool, thank you!
The Last Dinner Party - their debut album is one of the best I've ever heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE-JYq_tybM&pp=ygUpbGFzdCBkaW5uZXIgcGFydHkgcG9ydHJhaXQgb2YgYSBkZWFkIGdpcmw%3D
