A little darker show today! From Australia, we have recent releases from Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Cable Ties. Stateside, we hear new music from Ezra Furman, Aunt Cynthia’s Cabin. Ty Segall also made a new EP with Harry Nilsson covers. Over in Europe (or is it Asia?!) Hayvalnar Alemi from Turkey come to us with a new, brilliantly titled album Psychedlia in Times of Turbulence. From Canada comes Band Whose Name Is A Symbol and from UK we listen to a lovely new track from The James Hunter Six. We also pay a tribute to Hall Willner who passed away recently.

Part three of our list of best albums in 2019! Today we review some albums which did not make it to our top 30, which may probably just be the lack of my own attention. But before that, I’ve noticed that a whole bunch of good albums were shorter than 30 minutes this year, which is an interesting phenomenon. Albums were too long when we switched formats from LP to CD, but with less than 30 minutes, they seem to be a little too short. Back in the day, those would be classified as Mini LPs. So, today we also check the list of best Mini Albums, all of which were pretty hot last year. At the top of that list is Gyasi.

We start off with two new tunes from Ezra Furman from Boston. Then we have a new super-duet by Neil Michael Hagerty from Royal Trux and James Jackson Toth from Wooden Wand. The band is called Hagerty Toth Band. We play a brand new tune from The Cynics, which I recorded at their live show in Cleveland. Cairo Gang come from Chicago. The brightest spot in today’s show is the introduction of the new LP Gravy for Faux Killas from Memphis, which is probably the best album that came out this year so far.
