Tegh & Adel Poursamadi are a duo from Tehran, Iran, who are bringing a new spin to electroacoustic and experimental music. Sadly, only one track is available for the moment, but it shows how the duo meld string instruments and electronic soundscapes together seamlessly.
Sun Ra & His Arkestra – Ellingtonia, Vol. 1
It’s a great time to be a Sun Ra fan, especially on projects like this. This album is full of reinterpretations of the Duke Ellington catalog.
Boztown – In Memory of Freedom
This was a pleasant surprise. I’m new to Boztown, a trip-hop band out of France, and they have a warm, dark, rather crusty sound to them.
The Pink Elephant – Mellowing
Latvian band The Pink Elephant play a mellow psychedelic rock that has an authentic vibe to it. Not a bad neo-psych release at all.

TEKE::TEKE – Shirushi

Mankunku Quartet – Yakhal’ Inkomo (Special Edition)
This is one of South Africa’s best jazz outings. It features tenor saxophonist Winston “Mankunku” Ngozi and the album blends not only South African jazz but also the works of John Coltrane and Horace Silver. A swinging release.

I hate turbofolk, but there is a sick charm to the genre. A Youtuber called snakelover23 is the one who originally posted this video, but I can’t seem to find his account. This is a repost.
