Release-day culture encourages listeners to sample enormous quantities of music and move on almost immediately.
This weekend's strongest recommendation is therefore deliberately simple: spend more time with fewer records.
Brennan Wedl, GB, Wild Pink, Westside Cowboy, MyVeronica and Time Spent Driving all released substantial new work yesterday, while Bandcamp's latest discoveries open several less obvious routes.
The point of independent discovery isn't merely knowing that another hundred records exist. It is finding the handful you will still be playing months from now.
