My recommendation this week is categorised on Spotify as 'Chill Country' and I guess thats not a bad definition of Syrup Revival by The Last River Bottomed Fig Plucker aka Derek Allen Lind.

This is a project born out of a garage based jam band in Wisconsin, and this latest album is a quiet, gentle collection ofg bluesy-country that drew me in with great lyrics and a superb voice.

Highly recommended.

Live Music - Zaho De Sagazan

Lucky enough to get out and see some live music on Friday.

Zaho De Sagazan had previously featured on the Stuff Mixtape back in 2024, and was visiting Dublin to the play at the Academy. A great evening of performance, lights and electronica with some blistering tracks.

Very enjoyable. Highly recommended if you can get to the current UK and Europe tour.
