"This is as serious a slice of alt-pop as you'll hear all year, honestly it's a really beautiful track - tune in."

This week's #MusicWomenWednesday is one I can't stop listening to these last few days. I usually like to wait until a record is out and I've heard all of it, but these three preview tracks are so damn good, I wanted to share.

Glasgow's CLOTH is twins Rachael & Paul Swinton and their songs are incredibly great. Minimal, melodies galore. A new find for me this year (they have another cool LP from 2023).

LP 'Pink Silence' is out fully in less than a month, on April 25.

"the only discernible thread being main man, Ray Monde’s distinctive, hushed vocals, that melt into wave after wave of psychedelic whimsy and far out arrangements"

Find monde ufo in suitably trippy company over at the Slow Psyche Playlist.

"It's a pleasantly microdosed, bittersweet, consummately crafted and timeless alt-pop gem that's been on repeat the last few days."

Find this great tune adding some bittersweetness to the Slow Psyche Playlist.

"tradition is briskly dispelled by some solid beats that anchor the ambient electronica, sparingly used string refrain and the undoubted star of the show Arkanna's voice"

A day with new Soda Blonde music has to be a good day. Even if it is the saddest thing.

Still #OnRepeat

“The world has come to take me away
But I won't leave with them
Faces come and never stay
If it kills you, if it kills me”

https://youtu.be/dT2QpVEP5Xw

"I live underneath your weight
And it keeps me grounded
Empty people wash away
If it kills me, if it kills me"

As promised, more pics of the #AllieX concert

Violet Chachki opening for Allie X last night. She put on a super fun performance and changed her outfit multiple times on stage. She started in this all black outfit, then she took off each piece to reveal the bedazzled bodysuit underneath.

The Allie X show was so much fun. She is so underrated; shes an amazing performer. Even the featured drink that I tried was good. Overall amazing night, I’ll post more pics later

There's been some unusual music sightings at the TSMM Substack this week, as I wrote a Music for Election Reflection newsletter - check it out to get my thoughts! Luckily I tried to tie my analysis into some great music, from the batshit crazy to sublime ambient Americana via cutting edge dream pop and revolutionary jazz.
