Treat your taste buds to these mouthwatering leftovers!
Trying to keep up with the daily deluge of music is like trying to drink from a firehose. While we do our best to share all the good music that comes our way, some gems inevitably slip through the cracks. That’s where The Leftovers features come in; each Friday, we serve up five tasty morsels that we couldn’t let slip away into easily digestible snippets. This week, we’re showcasing new music from The Circling Sun, Buttering Trio, Elijah Minnelli and more. Lap up these delectable treats.
Sunlight can trigger the release of endorphins, promoting relaxation and reducing feelings of stress and anxiety. That’s precisely what you get with The Circling Sun. Their second album, Orbits, a collection of interstellar, Pacific jazz-inspired music from Aotearoa (New Zealand), was released in the summer and served as a radiant follow-up to their acclaimed debut. Soundway now celebrates with a new deluxe and digital-only version featuring three additional tracks. New single Flora and Fauna is a high-energy, modal jazz composition in 3/4, paying homage to the untamed and enigmatic beauty of the natural world.
It’s been a while since we last heard from the Tel Aviv outfit Buttering Trio, but their silence is broken with ‘Your Silence Covers the Sun.’ The trio of KerenDun, Beno Hendler, and Rejoicer brings a disturbing piece, befitting these dark times. Pulsating, primal, breathing. A nerve-racking, intimate depiction of war – the day after. Listen to the brilliant new song below!
Songs accompanied solely by guitar strums have a heartwarming charm that’s hard to resist. Meet When The Sun Is Low, the captivating new track written by Sophia Jani and played by Jonathan Bockelmann. His stunning lyrical guitar work will leave you breathless. No more words – just hit play.
Following 2024’s acclaimed ‘Perpetual Musket’, ‘Clams As A Main Meal’ continues Elijah Minnelli’s distinctive approach to dub, folk, and experimental sound design, featuring vocal collaborations with Dennis Bovell and Carwyn Ellis. Get excited about the album, and stream the first single, ‘Canaan Land’ featuring Dennis Bovell, below.
N∆BOU is back! The quartet led by Nabou Claerhout has their third album ‘Indigo’ coming out in January on Edition Records, with the first single ‘Unpersuadable Extern’ streaming below for your listening pleasure.
