Ear to the Irminsul
A bit about a battle, a Rune and a memory. Maybe.https://vianegativa6.wordpress.com/2026/06/04/ear-to-the-irminsul/
Album Recommendations – June2026
I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed. Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will to.
Album: Dear Children of Our Children, I Knew: Epilogue
Artist: Alabaster DePlume
Genre: Jazz
Release Date: April 18, 2026
Label: International Anthem
Favorite Tracks:
English jazz saxophone player and spoken-word artist Angus Fairbairn performs under the name Alabaster DePlume. Apart from his eclectic musical style, he is known for his activism which is evident even in the instrumental pieces on this collection.
Album: Fold
Artist: Jump Source
Genre: Electronic
Release Date:April 30, 2026
Label: naff
Favorite Tracks:
Jump Source are the electronic duo of Francis Latreille and Patrick Holland from Montreal, Quebec. Their music transcends the dance floor to places of reflection.
Album: FENIAN
Artist: Kneecap
Genre: Hip hop
Release Date: 1 May 2026
Label: Heavenly
Favorite Tracks:
The politically-active hip hop trip from Belfast returns with the follow-up to their debut album Fine Art. The album gestated in the wake of Kneecap’s North American tour getting canceled due to the group’s opposition to Israel’s attacks on Gaza, as well as bogus terrorism charges against band member Mo Chara. The album demonstrates that Kneecap have also grown musically since their first album.
Album: Loud Bloom
Artist: Olof Dreijer
Genre: Electronic
Release Date: May 8, 2026
Label: Rabid Records
Favorite Tracks:
Olof Dreijer is Swedish DJ and producer most known for being part of The Knife, a duo with his sister Karin Dreijer (who also performs under the name Fever Ray). Dreijer’s first full-length work as a solo artist joyfully mixes African and Latin dance styles with electronic music.
Album: Now You Exist

Album: REDSTAR WU & THE WORLDWIDE SCOURGE
Artist: Genesis Owusu
Genre: Hip Hop/Neo-soul
Release Date: May 15, 2026
Label: Ourness
Favorite Tracks:
Genre-jumping, Ghanian-born Australian artist Genesis Owusu returns with a third album making sharp observations on the political and social crises of the world. According to Wikipedia, “The music blends neo soul with alt-pop, synth-punk, deep funk and Brit rock stylings,” which just scratches the surface of Owusu’s eclecticism.
Album: Flame Folclòre

Genre: Occitan Folk
Release Date: May 15, 2026
Label: Les DIsques Bongo Joe – Pagans
