Welcome to the 99th song of our 3/6/5! Hope you're enjoying the run...

Blue Lake, the gorgeous instrumental project of Copenhagen-based Jason Dungan, has announced a new release on the excellent Tonal Union label - home of one of our favourite albums of the year so far in the form of Ezra Feinberg's stunning Soft Power LP.

Titled Weft, the five-song collection is a beautiful melding of instruments and textures, a kind of folky/ambient bonding that makes good on the album's title and associated idea. Inspired by the physical process of ‘weaving’, Dungan brings together a large selection of instruments (acoustic guitars, clarinet, cello, drums, small percussion, keyboard, Roland 606, melodica, piano) to produce a tapestry of sound that feels immediately compelling.

Delightfully charming from its first shuffle of drums, the EP's eponymous opening track is indicative of Dungan's craft - an autumnal instrumental gem that drifts between light and shade, crisp cold and bright warmth in a suitably seasonal manner.

117: Hamilton Leithauser - This Side of the Island

So much of the music that Hamilton Leithauser has released via his band, The Walkmen, tends to come alive, or find a greater sense of spirit at this time of the year. Shuffling through city streets, fists stuffed in pockets, the wind ripping through your bones. Apt, then, that Leithauser
