William Doyle - Great Spans Of Muddy Time

While not as mesmerizing as his late 2019 album, this album is more droning and dissonant.

Jazz Doummunisters - Cupid & Bataille, Dirty Microphone

Weird spoken-word / jazz-hop by two Japanese middle aged men. One of them played in Cowboy Bebop’s OST and Ground Zero, the other is a columnist and (I think) a visiting scholar in Keio university. Really weird stuff, but in the best way possible.
