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:

  • Bringing Up The Nakba
  • I Play A Role In It and I Know
  • Glass

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.

AlbumFold

Genre: Electronic
Release Date:April 30, 2026
Label: naff
Favorite Tracks:

  • Fade City (feat. Deaton Chris Anthony)
  • Fold (feat. CFCF & Helena Deland)

Release Date: 1 May 2026
Label: Heavenly
Favorite Tracks:

  • Smugglers & Scholars
  • Carnival
  • Liars Tale
  • FENIAN
  • Irish Goodbye (feat. Kae Tempest)

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.

Ontem fui escutar o adianto do novo disco de Cocanha, 'Flame Folclóre', que já se pode reservar e sae o 15 de maio, e... descobri que, nos últimos meses, têm uma grande produção. Porque, ademais da trilha sonora da curtametragem 'Serpente' (Félix Imbert, 2025), feita em colaboração com o compositor Pierre Desprats, em janeiro tiraram '4132314', em colaboração com Los Sara Fontán e Tarta Relena 🤯 Que actividade! 😍
