Album Recommendations – August 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

Kieran Hebden, the English electronic musician who typically releases music under the name Four Tet, has opted to make his latest release nearly impossible to find on streaming services.  Set aside that the artist, album, and track listing are all written in unpronounceable “wingdings,” this is an engaging mix of spiritual and danceable tracks.

Album: Foreign Tongues
Artist: Rolling Stones
Genre: Blues Rock
Release Date: July 10, 2026
Label:Polydor | Capitol
Favorite Tracks:

• Rough and Twisted
• Ringing Hollow
• Never Wanna Lose You
• Beautiful Delilah

It seems inexplicable that the Rolling Stones are still releasing new music in the 2020s much less some of their best music since the 1970s.  The Blues Rock extravaganza features guest appearances from Steve Winwood, Robert Smith (of The Cure), Bruno Mars, and Paul McCartney, as well as some of the final contributions of the late drummer Charlie Watts.

Album: Florida Water Blues
Artist: Twisted Teens
Genre: Garage Rock
Release Date: July 10, 2026
Label: Going Underground Records
Favorite Tracks:

• Why Did You Miss It?
• Swamp
• Florida Water Blues
• Weather the Season

Twisted Teens are back with their second album of folk-and-country inflected, swampy, garage rock.  See my March post for their previous release.

Album: Emotional Junglist
Artist: Nia Archives 
Genre: Jungle, R&B, Indie Rock
Release Date: July 17, 2026
Label: Hijinxx | Island
Favorite Tracks:

• Feelingz Go Numb
• Danger
• Get Me Down
• Superlust
• Boys in Blue

English DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Nia Archives is a self-described junglist, but this album doesn’t fit one genre.  The tracks explore R&B, Indie Rock, and Dream Pop to the extent that I sometimes forget that it’s the same artist.

Album: América!
Artist: Orquesta Akokán
Genre: Latin Jazz
Release Date: July 17, 2026
Label: Daptone Records
Favorite Tracks:

• No Me Voy
• Hace Tiempo
• Girassol

This Cuban-American ensemble keeps alive the mambo traditions of the mid 20th century.  The energy of their performance is captured in this live in the studio recording.

This morning's #workout #music is from Adian Quesada with Trio Asesino doing (maybe too) laid-back #jazzFusion #LatinJazz with a definite #funk infusion. Good pace for the evil #burpee regime on the menu today.

#KettleBells #BodyWeightTraining

10 deficit push up burpees on kettle bell handles
10 alternating single arm swings with heavy kettle bell
#EMOM repeat on the minute for 25 minutes - end with 30 swings instead of 10. Whew!

This morning's #workout #music is from Pérez Prado y su Orquesta en Japón. Año 1965. Great performace from a master ensemble.

Ray Barretto - Acid

Incendiary and irresistible entry in the short-lived boogaloo scene (R&B tinged Latin jazz) from one of the greats.

(btw, Bandcamp's FLAC download is extra super high-resolution)
