Five albums to listen to for the month of May

LSD March - Constellation of Tragedy. Delicate Japanese psychedlia that never builds to the ridiculousness of what the band's name might suggest. 




Fela Kuti - Gentleman. Beautiful afrobeat depicting the silly idea that Nigerian men should dress in western clothes.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes. A psychedelic Brazilian odyssey, filled with obsessive musicianship, Brazilian humour and political shards against the military coup that fucked Brazil for over 20 years.


 Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos - The Prosthetic Cubans. A faux Latin jazz album by the former Tom Waits guitarist from the Rain Dogs-era. Great guitar lines!


 Jesus and the Mary Chain - Psychocandy. Loud and intense shoegaze from Scotland.
