#NP Sevdaliza I ISON

Heroina has been a runaway success for Sevdaliza this year, but she also has an amazing back catalogue. Back to 2017's debut album today and a stunning MOV pressing and fabulous artwork. Quite trip-hoppy so perfect for a postwalk Sunday afternoon chill 😎

#NP David Sylvian I Alchemy | An Index Of Possibilities

In for a penny, new money for old rope etc., but there's no denying how groundbreaking these tracks were in David Sylvian's musical evolution. And as ever they still reward repeated listens. Plus it's brought the sun out ☀️ 👌 👍

#NP Caroline | Caroline 2

A rainy start to the day on the South Coast of the Island so a cup of tea and Caroline 2 going a long way to lift the mood. I missed this release earlier in the year, but was delighted to get a copy at Plug'd yesterday. Bold and ambitious, it's a fabulous listen 👌

#NP Girls Names | Arms Around A Vision

That they got to this point and left us with this legacy is nothing short of miraculous. One of greatest Irish albums ever, if somewhere unsung. A decade in and its potency is still intact and as intoxicating as ever.

With thanks to @mihanoid.bsky.social 👍

Over €300 in one day raised for DEPAUL IRELAND. I'll leave this on Bandcamp until next Friday and then take it down . I cannot express what that meant to me yesterday. Magnificent people.x

#NP Pet Shop Boys | Disco 5

There's no getting around this fact: Disco 5 is ridiculously good. A compilation in all but name, it's as fine a release as 2025 will see. I've had it on 🎧 for the past week, but the double vinyl is the job. Humble black, but needs must be. To the (domestic) dancefloor 😊

#NP Madonna | Bedtime Stories | The Untold Chapter

The 30th anniversary edition(s) of Bedtime Stories has (have) been frustrating to say the least. But formatting quibbles aside The Untold Chapter is superb on vinyl and a fabulous addition to Madonna's catalogue.
December 5, 2025 at 8:43 PM
#NP Melody's Echo Chamber | Unclouded

Happy Release Day to Melody Prochet and her fabulous fourth. More than worth the trudge through the post-work rain to the local record emporium. A gorgeous mix of classic and dream pop, and so beautifully presented. Ah, the folly of November year end lists 😂

#NP The Altered Hours | The Altered Hours

Cork's The Altered Hours channel their inner Paisley Underground on their superlative third album. This will be an absolute joy to behold on the upcoming tour. One of the very best Irish releases, and there were many, of 2025. Class.

#NP Clint Mansell | Black Swan OMPS

This is a fabulous MOV repress of the OMPS for Darren Aronofsky's movie 'Black Swan'. The music is a thing of beauty all in itself and MOV have really done it justice, the record, pressing and cover reproduction are just superb. A lovely way to ease into Sunday.

#NP pôt-pot | Warsaw 480 km

Delighted to finally catch up with pôt-pot's debut album. It's a terrific blend of krautrock, post-punk and psychrock. If the beat doesn't lets up, neither do the melodies, and the male/female vocals blend beautifully. A real surprise, of the very right kind 😎

#NP Midlake I A Bridge To Far

Second spin of this wonderful record, with thanks (again) to the dynamic duo of @rickymca.bsky.social & @paulwonvinyl.bsky.social It's a gorgeous listen, sumptuous melodies and perfect for a Saturday night at home. And that cover. Superb 👌

Mrs. B was all over this one earlier today. 2026 is shaping up rather nicely on the gig front.

Welcome to the weekend 😎

#NP Hilary Woods | Night CRIÚ

Hilary's fourth and perhaps most accessible album to date. It loses none of the experimentation of its predecessors, but is melodically rich, evocative and enticing. I don't like the adjective 'ethereal', but that's what it says on the cover. A truly magical listen 👌
