These Monsters new album - title track Call Me Dragon (free downlad) provides a rich taste of the whole feast - is a monstrous piece of work. It's armoured, scaled, articulated, fast, furious, saxophonous and exhilarating.

Matt Bentley has a beautifully produced and presented new album called Entropy. I can hear echoes of some of the founders of British folk guitar in there - Davy Graham and Dick Gaughan and a lot of other things too. It stands head and shoulders above the routine singer songwriter stuff. That said, the sheer numbers of solo artists doing their own songs is pushing the expected standard higher and higher.

Club Smith go on following the ancient and peculiar adage that every new song should be the best yet, and redefine the repertoire. Their new collection The Loss EP is their strongest. most immediately appealing stuff so far.
