Albert's Favourites Vinilo y CD

Review: And Is Phi (Andrea Isabelle Phillips) is a multi-disciplinary artist from Norway and the Philippines now based in South East London. Double Pink is a debut album of great quality that draws on a wide sphere of influence, from Joni Mitchell's tender vocals to Frank Zappa's weirdness via 90s r&b and the jazz tinged beatmaking of Madlib's seminal album for Blue Note. it is both late night and languid but immediate and emotive, with a world of colour and texture that is all blurred, smoothed off, packed with emotion and smart riffs, melodies and hooks.

Review: Jonny Drop working with Andre Ashong is not a collab you might have seen coming, but it is one you will be glad has happened. Puzzle Dust is reportedly an album that was four years in the making and it comes on a lovely blue slab of vinyl. Musically it is a work that fuses soul and psychedelia with stripped-back broken beats, dusty drums and lo-fi rhythms peppered with earthy percussion. At times sunny and upbeat, at others stoned and horizontal, Ashong's hazy vocals colour the tracks with his signature smoky soul. A fantastic coming together of two diverse but quality artists.

Review: Albert's Favourites are like managers of a large public swimming pool - they've got a wave-making machine at their disposal. In this case his name is Scrimshire, a multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ from London, who has been making figurative waves in the jazz and electronic scene for over a decade. His latest album Paroxysm, s a stunning showcase of his versatility, mixing themes of anxiety, anger and hope via a blend of jazz, soul, hip-hop and electronica. Featuring guest appearances from the likes of Emma-Jean Thackray, And Is Phi, Bessi and more, Scrimshire's vision is as doomy and tempered by electronica as it is influenced by classic jazz, providing a beguiling middle ground.
