Good albums of the Moment

I notice in today's Graun a fine review of Tinariwen's latest

Thought I'd say here that I've been rather enjoying their Tamikrest Cousins' latest. Here's an example:

Robin Denselow is a reviewer I have a lot of time for, and that's a damn fair review.

Shame he doesn't do radio programmes isn't it?


Anyway here's one you'll like JC - RD's review of Ivory Cutlery's final performance

"Are there any children here?" he asked. "Oh dear."

But that Boyd bloke has been coaxed back in to the studio next week with Young Nick.

Over-easy category time. I have Tinariwen first and then place in that group Tamikrest, Toumast and Etran Finatawa. Are there any other good ones I have forgotten or should know?

I welcome the change of course although the inclusion of TV on the Radio is obviously a mistake. I read their reviews and Bowie talking them up but don't find them at all special. What is it? The fourth album now from Tinariwen? There is one track on Spotify already and it is ok enough. Have to say though that Tamikrest now sound more like them they do.

From first hearing it's been difficult to distingush them Lat - but TK have really great rhythm; maybe better than the originals.
