I went a little overboard (for me) Saturday.
Bill Murray, Jan Vogler, and Friends - New Worlds
Fleet Foxes - (a 7" single for Record Store Day)
The Bad Plus - Never Stop
Mount Eerie - Now Only
Paul de Jong - You ****en Sucker
Sam Amidon - The Following Mountain
The Head and the Heart - The Head and the Heart
I have listened to the first three so far. Bill Murray delivers great readings over some wonderful music. Dry for the most part, but with good life on others. Fleet Foxes is just a single, but features a choral version of Crack Up recorded in Reykjavik and "In the Morning" recorded live in Switzerland. The Bad Plus continue to be an interesting jazz trio, though I admit I mostly had that one on as background music.
While I have listened to the Head and the Heart's eponymous debut album, I have not listened to it on vinyl yet, but I suspect it will be good. I also have high hopes for Mount Eerie's Now Only, as it is a sequel to "A Crow Looked at Me" which is one of my favorite recent albums. While "You ****en Sucker" seems to be rated lower than Paul de Jong's debut album "IF", I like his stuff both as an individual and has half of The Books, so I am willing to give this album the benefit of the doubt. Finally, I have enjoyed all of the Sam Amidon I have heard so far, and am eternally grateful to the woman I met in at the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival in 2016 to brought me to his concert in that overly packed little bar.
