Langkamer
West Country
(Breakfast Records/TINA)
★★★★

FORMED in 2018, Bristol four-piece Langkamer have now released their debut.

The press release slaps the altcountry label on the outfit, which seems a bit of a red herring. There is an inventive and playful streak running through the set, their music an infectious mix of rock, blues and folk.

Big Red Machine
How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last?
(37d03d)
★★★

Matthew Milia
Keego Harbor
(Sitcom Universe)
