sarah nixey : izumi records : dennis bovell

folks.

just so you know. via the wonderful pete ingo, (go find his debut album 'ps i cuddle a box', on moshi moshi records, and give it a good home will you), i have come to find out about the izumi record label. a process of discovery, which sometimes troubles me, what happens if i dont like the music my esteemed contact is wishing to pass on to me, we may fall out over this and i never get to hear his forthcoming second album.

thankfully, i should have known better, pete is a man with superlative taste (have you still not heard, 'ps, i cuddle a box' ? tsk tsk) and his recommendation is totally spot on.

so far, i have been given the chance to hear 3 of the labels limited seriously heavyweight 7" singles, and i have to pass on the love as they are all bloody good.

in other news : full review for new sarah nixey single, 'strangelove', psapp's new album, 'the only thing i ever wanted', as well as details on the new dennis bovell reissues that are dead cheap in fopp at the moment, and well worth checking out.

so there you have it, excellent old fashioned indie guitars, a little laptop freakery, and some deeper than deep dub excess. what more could you ask for !

till next time people.
