The 20 July indie landscape begins the week with impressive disregard for calm. <a href="/tags/meg-lui">Meg Lui</a> announces a Sufjan Stevens-produced debut, <a href="/tags/rustie">Rustie</a> uploads another burst of experimental rave energy and <a href="/tags/film-major">Film Major</a> 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.
