A Short History of Davids
To begin with, there was
of course an Adam
of Davids, a kind of
portent, of psalmody,
handy with a sling. If
he was ever, then forever
is because of him. He
is to blame for Ben Gurion,
and Blaine. His is
the throne to which
we've succeeded, one
christening by one, lords
all of us, with five-
letter dominions. The first
day of March is ours,
although also that
of Wales, but we'll take it, we'll
take it for posterity, for the
sake of the name, for its near-
circuity, as a small
reminder of Hockney, of Bowie,
of sculptors, lesser prime-ministers
and rent boys. A day for the
footballers whose ironic burden
is knowing neither the spelling
nor the meaning of zeitgeist, for
every male character in every car
insurance advert ever made,
for the clout of these phonemes,
those who hold and are held
by them, and however many
Daffyds and Daithís and Dawonds,
and how many are dead, and
how many just foetal, how many,
would you say, how many
were gassed and mass-buried
for bearing the name of a king
and wearing his star?
A day for them is plenty,
is more than enough.
I hold one syllable per hand.
They are each as heavy as listening.

My view holds water
My view spreads, thin as a ribbon
My view shields little
My view gold and pristine

But of course it's a bit more complicated than that. For now, you just need to know that I'm not that cool or particularly interesting but I do like expressing myself through music. But most importantly, I'm just a fan.

Harry Perry / rryrry recommends:
An absolute slab of angular power mixed with effortlessly pop hooks. I love tricot and this third album is an incredible blend of stylistic nuttiness.

Reuben's third and final album on Bandcamp is a marked blend of extreme dissonance (Blood, Bunny, Larkhall) and pop hooks (Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin) make this an epic but thought-provoking listen.

Let The Dead Bury The Dead
by Rusangano Family
Still one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Densely intelligent lyrics over eclectic accompaniments have changed my perspective. 'Isn't Dinner Nice' broke me. A timely, yet important song.

Carla Geneve returns with a record of jittery alt-rock, topped with lyrics that are both wry and introspective.

The Urge To Overtake Time
by Fir Cone Children
Amazingly revved-up songs that ping-pong from the jittery post-punk of Devo to GBV at their most radiant.
