Not on PA, but I guess Julia Holter's new album Something in the Room She Moves is very will be of interest to some prog fans: On PA, and I was surprised that a track was played on a national public radio channel last week, Perilymph's new album Progressions Imaginaires. Didn't know them before, but was not surprised to discover that they exist on PA. Maybe not groundbreaking, but it's a very pleasant and enjoyable mix of nea, kraut, psych and other things: Edited by suitkees - May 20 2024 at 10:20 |

I think that "Natura Morta" by the former Muffins member, multiinstrumentalist Dave Newhouse, is a great album, and that really deserves to be mentioned here. The music on this CD, released on Wayside Music in April 2024, can be described as a fusion of jazz, avant-garde, experimental, and progressive rock elements. Dave Newhouse is indeed known for his eclectic style that blends various genres and influences to create a unique sonic experience. The album showcases Newhouse’s mastery of composition and arrangement, featuring intricate melodies, complex harmonies, and odd time signatures.
Accompanied by a bunch of excellent musicians, Newhouse created music that is characterised by its atmospheric soundscapes, intricate instrumental passages, and dynamic shifts in mood and tempo. His use of a wide range of instruments, including saxophone, keyboards, guitar, and percussion, adds depth and texture to the music. David Newhouse delivered a rich tapestry of musical ideas that is often close to the 'Canterbury' idiom. However, "Natura Morta" is a captivating musical journey that pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of genre, and with its progressive rock influences and experimental jazz sensibilities, this album is sure to appeal to listeners who appreciate progressive music that defies categorization.

It has been a slow year for me until this point. I don't think that there has been anything truly remarkable yet. Some of the things I have been enjoying the most:
Harbour Century by Eunuchs. Ihsahn by Ihsahn. Monkey Jockey Man and The Safari Tick Sugar by Perfect. Bellum II by Aquilus. empathogen by Willow. The Sacred Vowel by Extra Life. Something in the Room She Moves by Julia Holter. Twice Aroound the Sun by Ugly. Within by Alon Mor. XII in XII #07 - Toad Hirer by Toehider. Not much else.

Hi there,
I can't find a recommendations of 2024 thread yet - do I miss something? I open this maybe more to see your favourites rather than posting my own, as I haven't listened to that many albums of 2024 yet, and although I liked some, I don't have a clear favourite yet. The best album on PA I have heard yet is Cassiber's Collaborations. It's very experimental; hands off if you are not into that kind of stuff, but collaborators include Frith and Krause of Art Bears (with Chris Cutler being regular Cassiber member anyway), Tim Cora, Stormy Six, and Otomo Yoshihide. But then it may not really count as all the material is from the first half of the 1980s if I understand things correctly. However I have one proper recommendation (not listed on PA though), which is Banshee by Norwegian saxophonist Signe Emmeluth. It may be wrong to mention this here as Signe is an experimental jazzer who most likely doesn't qualify for inclusion in PA, yet the Banshee album has obvious nods to Magma, RIO bands, and classical/avantgarde influences you find on some chamber prog albums. So this is a somewhat awkward opening of this thread, but we should have one, shouldn't we? Please recommend more listenable stuff if you find mine too avantgarde.
