Album Recommendations – October 2026

I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will too.

Album: From Kolkata to Dublin 
Artist: Cedar Dobson and Debojyoti Sanyal
Genre: Traditional Music
Release Date: March 23, 2026
Label: Cedar Dobson Music
Favorite Tracks:

• Harvest Home
• Toss the Feathers
• Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór

I’m a sucker for cultural exchange in music, and this album is a simple blend of Irish trad and Indian classical music which proves that tin whistles and tabla just sound good together.

Album: Perennial
Artist: Modernism
Genre: Art Punk
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Label: Ernest Jenning Record Co.
Favorite Tracks:

• Modernism
• The Beat Scene
• Baby, Are You Abstract?

Perennial are an experimental retro-punk outfit who originated in Connecticut.  Modernism is a 9-song collection of short, catchy, dance-punk explosions.

Album: Violins
Artist: Blondshell
Genre: Indie Rock
Release Date: September 25, 2026
Label: Partisan Records
Favorite Tracks:

• Heart Has to Work So Hard
• Lucky
• Stone Fruit
• New Age Trojan Horse
• Fur Elise

Blondshell (a.k.a. Sabrina Teitelbaum) is a Panorama of the Mountains favorite, returning with a follow-up to last year’s If You Asked for a Picture.

Album: Hope is a Heavy Thing
Artist: Joy Oladokun
Genre: Folk
Release Date: September 24, 2026
Label: Concord Records
Favorite Tracks:

• Raised by Radio (A Reintroduction)
• TOGIAIM
• Toothache
• Don’t Call Me Baby!
• Die Young
• Time Is a River

Singer/songwriter Joy Oladokun’s sixth album continues her tradition of literary lyrics that speak to the heart of the matter.

Album: Little Storms
Artist: Ethan Setiawan & Fine Ground
Genre: Bluegrass
Release Date: October 2, 2026
Label: Adhyâropa Records
Favorite Tracks:

• The Harbor Walk
• Whiskey, Boys
• Ships at Sea
• Across the Great Divide

Despite being far from Appalachia and not particularly mountainous, the greater Boston area features an excellent contemporary bluegrass scene.  This now includes the quintet Fine Ground lead by mandolin virtuoso Ethan Setiawan on their debut album.

Nous ne considérons pas le raga comme une structure fixe de notes. Il a une âme... Il prend vie, on le regarde s’épanouir.

This was posted yesterday, I think. I'm adding it here to the end of this thread, since it didn't get placed there when it was originally posted. Woke this morning to over 120 notifications. My post regarding bansuri learning (see thread) has gotten far more reach than I expected it to. I've only gotten one possible lead and am still very much looking to connect with someone about this, but the boosts are really appreciated. thank you so much for the help so far!#Bansuri #BlindMusicians #Accessibility #MusicAccessibility #IndianClassicalMusic #Flute #IndianFlute #VisuallyImpaired #AskFedi

Update: See thread for origional topic. I have a lesson set up with a western flute instructor who, even though she doesn't have a lot of knowledge about the Bansuri, she's willing to do some research for me to help me confirm hand placement and flute angle. I have also, thanks to a friend of mine, connected with someone from India who is also #Blind and a self-taught #Musician who has given me permission to pick her brain when necessary. A lot of the rest will come with time. Thankfully, with there being so many videos out there and my ability to play by ear, I have plenty of options to learn new material. I'll be placing an order soon for a G bass from Labu Flutes and later switch to a larger flute, which I will happily pay the higher price at this point to get made custom. Anubodh, though expensive, has communicated with me in both a timely and informative fashion regarding what he can customize for me and what exactly each customization will do. Would I like to find a good teacher from which to learn? Absolutely. But at least I'm no longer feeling stuck and/or caged by a lack of options. The number of boosts I've received has been amazing. Thanks, guys. Boosts are still welcome. #Bansuri #BlindMusicians #Accessibility #MusicAccessibility #IndianClassicalMusic #Flute #IndianFlute #VisuallyImpaired #AskFedi

Okay hive mind, here's one for you. Ready? I'm a Totally #blind #musician looking to learn bansuri. Are there any blind/visually impaired bansuri players or Indian classical flute players out there? I’d love to know how you learned hand position and flute angle, particularly for larger flutes, without relying on visual demonstration. I have played the western concert flute for over 25 years, so getting a sound is easy. I'm also seeking accessible teachers/courses or live online lessons with strong verbal description. Boosts very much appreciated!

Just found Web Harmonium — a free online harmonium you can play right in the browser.

No sign-up needed. It supports keyboard input, MIDI, Sargam + Western note labels, transpose, octave controls, reeds, and reverb.
Really nice for Indian classical practice, finding your tonic, or sketching melodies.

#RaviShankar (1920-2012)

Je pense que mon public de musique classique indienne avait l’impression que je les trahissais en collaborant avec George Harrison ; je suis devenu connu comme le “cinquième Beatles”. En Inde, ils pensaient que j’étais devenu fou.

New #review today: "#AlecGoldfarb is a Brooklyn based guitarist and composer and a Hindustani classical musician known for blending elements of #jazz, new music, and #IndianClassicalMusic. Here, on Shadows, he does all of that and more with a ten-piece ensemble of instrumentalists and vocalists, both from North America and Asia." #ExposeOnline http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/alec-goldfarb-shadows-3.html

New #review today: "This recent release from #LShankar sees the violinist revisiting traditional forms in a modern context. Full Moon is much closer to #Shakti than Peter Gabriel or Echo and the Bunnymen, and it shows Shankar’s mastery of his double-necked electric violin." #ExposeOnline #IndianClassicalMusic #ElectricViolin #violin http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/l-shankar-full-moon-2.html

Step into a world where music meets nature. This special performance at Kala Festival 2023 (Norden Farm Centre for the Arts, Maidenhead – 23rd August) explored the Five Elements—Wind, Earth, Water, Fire, and Space—through the rich traditions of Indian classical music.

Bringing this theme to life at this awesome venue, was an incredible ensemble of:

🎻 Dr. Lovely Sharma – Sitar
🎸 Mr. Debasis Chakroborty – Slide Guitar
🎹 Mr. Deepak Shah – Keyboard
🥁 Mr. Durjay Bhaumik – Tabla

Each note played by them carried the essence of the natural world—flowing like water, grounding like earth, and soaring like the wind. More than just a performance, it was a journey through sound, emotion, and energy.

Sit back, listen, and let the music take you there. 🌊🔥🌿💨🌌
