This week in music: new Little Simz, Tropical Gothclub and dub-remixed Spoon. Also: rubbing Sault into the wound, beats and loops and twinkles and goops and burps and blurps, straying further from the light, stump mic bars, everyone’s getting a three piece together, high school musical, lightly breathed-on, third strips, unexpected crossovers, bits that fell out of other recording sessions, Duolingo Beeso, Swedish insurance, everyone else’s AOTYs, the time limit on rap album skits, RTJ revisited and hammock and/or pool action. 


Next week: Hermanos Gutiérrez, Vero and Alien Nosejob are our final new album picks for 2022. Our current and recent album review playlist is available on Spotify, along with our full 2022 review archive and our 2022 tripping balls mixtape, made tracks from new albums we’ve reviewed this year. The full list of all the albums we've ever featured on the show (including our top 5s from previous years) is available elsewhere on the internet. BALLS and tripping balls are available on their own RSS feeds, as well as being found together on Omny Studio, Spotify and Apple Podcasts (feel free to subscribe, rate and review) - and we welcome your reckons via Twitter, Facebook and email
