If you need a sedentary soundtrack for your lazy Sunday then look no further than the new Jens Pauly LP for Lontano Series. With a soft touch he artfully weaves the gentler sounds of everyday life & natural field recordings with crystalline tones, barely played instruments & soothing sonics to help your hangover & recharge work worn batteries.

Bristol's Joe Yorke & The Co-Operators come correct again with more consummately crafted vintage reggae sounds telling blue eyed, average Jane & Joe tales of day to day life and modern struggles from the UK's (post-election) forgotten people, on the ever impressive, real deal Waggle Records.

Making Americana Great Again one LP at a time, the North Americans boys from Los Angeles take another stroll on a gently winding path through Arcadian Americana, slumberous cosmic country and ambient folk territory to a place where all is love and love is all, ably supported by Third Man.

Somewhere in West Yorkshire where various musical ley lines intersect sit The Declining Winter with toes & studio grounding wire squished into the moist earth so as better to conduct the post rock, orchestral ambient pop, jazz vibrations & wistful folktronic energy swirling below into the unhurried, genre ambiguous gem for Home Assembly that you hear before you. Lovely stuff.

Five great new singles from independent artists ranging from spiritual jazz condemnation of the increasingly inhumane UK immigration policy, electronic dreams, Tasmanian inspired New Age dreaminess, twisted piano sounds & probably the ambient pop single of the year.

A sweet, charming & pleasantly chilled start to the week from Jim Nopédie via Infloresce. Here he artfully combines soft edged, misty eyed, vintage computer game sounds with a pre-glyphosate pastoral vibe that transports you back to a more innocent time when bills were for birds, your tea magically appeared on the dining table & pollinators still buzzed around the countryside.

If you need easing into the week then you're in luck, ambient stalwart Wil Bolton is back on the ever dependable Laaps, with another enchanted soundscape that certainly echoes the LP title, where the sounds of barely bothered instruments & distant field recordings melt into the ambient ether to illusory utopian effect; but that's fine, it's OK to dream a little.
