Shitao - Aleph.
2020 has been a shitty year, that's for sure. But it made Shitao very productive. After "The day she arrives", released in June, the buddy has just dropped "Aleph", his brand new opus.
Served with a fantastic artwork by pyramid.ink, the album is inspired by a novel by Jorge Luis Borges.
In Shitao's words, "Alpeh is the story of a woman plotting revenge, a monster stuck in a labyrinth, a deserter and a translator. "Aleph" is the story of an obsession, a dead man, a Byzantine general and the memory of Beatriz".
Available on Bandcamp for free, "Aleph" is also available for pre-order as a vinyl on Qrates. All we need is 100 pre-orders ; please make it become real !

ST live.
In these strange times we're experiencing, live shows are a rarity. Well, there are some, but without any audience. That's exactly what Sébastien Tellier did, taking over the stage of La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris on November 13th, 2020.
Backed by a handful of musicians (two keyboard players and a drummer, with various skills), he delivered his unique mood for an hour long of concert.
The concert was coupled with the release of the digital version of this newest album, "Simple Mind", which includes new stripped versions of some of his previous hits.
The perfect glamour show for a gloomy dark sunday.

OK Computer demos.
For those who don't mind downloading 17 hourw worth of music from Radiohead, the aforementioned Funk It (Facebook post) has assembled demos and outtakes from the legendary "OK Computer" sessions.
Those archives were previously known by the fans as bootlegs from Minidiscs.
As detailed by Funk It himself :
Y'all remember when those Radiohead OK Computer Minidiscs leaked last year? Well, I condensed 17 hours of outtakes and rehearsals and demos to a manageable listen. Check it out.
and here's the full 17 hour set, but tracked out instead of hour long files: https://mega.nz/folder/wmIXzAZB#WWlVkkGbQ1SKa_7Sb6WzfQ
