Because of the constant and impressive flow of new releases, and because I have a habit of just listening to whatever happens to be put in front of me, I don’t always pick up on something the minute it’s released. Even when I do hear something on the day of release, I am not always mindful enough to to write about it there and then; all too often I file and forget…

So here’s a monthly playlist - and one that is starting, appropriately enough, part-way through the month - to round up a few songs that have either been on my radar but which I haven’t written about, or which have flown by undetected until recently.
