The 20 July indie landscape begins the week with impressive disregard for calm. Meg Lui announces a Sufjan Stevens-produced debut, Rustie uploads another burst of experimental rave energy and Film Major distrust the modern investment pitch.
NNAVY prepares an independent soul album, Linda Sikhakhane joins Blue Note and Evil Island rebuild Las Vegas from cardboard. De La Soul revisit a classic, Pulp recover a fifteen-year-old deep cut and The Cribs take over Somerset House.
Meanwhile, Mr. Phylzzz plan to capture a live album with the amplifiers fully awake, and the release weekend continues delivering projects from Flesh Creep, FAUZIA, Josh Caffé, Kamal., Gin Wigmore, N NAO and Saint Clair. Monday has traditionally been associated with quiet disappointment. The music calendar has apparently rejected that branding.
