What's Spinning

@Turbo's Recommended 2020 Releases

I've been discovering a lot of great new music this year. These are 2020 releases that I've been spinning a lot.

#1 The Buttertones "Jazz Hound"
#2 Baxter Dury "The Night Chancers"
#3 Jessie Ware "What's Your Pleasure?"
#4 Yves Tumor "Heaven To A Tortured Mind"
#5 Sammy Brue "Crash Test Kid"

#6 Sorry "925"
Modern rock with tons of swagger. They're not afraid to riff off legendary bands like Tears for Fears on the opener and Depeche Mode with the guitar lick on "Starstruck". I find there's a certain excitement in deconstructing all of these obvious classic references into something fresh and modern. I also love the incorporation of horns and synths. Standouts are "Starstruck", "Right Round The Clock", "Perfect", "More" and "Rock n Roll Star".

The sounds explored by the guitarist from Tortoise's wonderful TNT album are so diverse here. Soulful bits, lots of groovy rhythm sections, and even a few minutes of droning. Could this be a jazz masterpiece in years time? One of my top 10 from this year.
