I listened to it just a little bit ago. I liked it, but wasn't blown away. I think your description of The Weekend album above is how I'd describe the new Lanegan, actually. I'll definitely listen more -- as I did with The Weekend -- and hopefully it'll improve -- as did The Weekend.

mine are Gigaton and Notes on a Conditional Form so far; I feel like Petals for Armor should get it too but I haven't sat with it for nearly as long

Last year space rock/slowcore band Duster reunited, reissuing their first two albums and a bunch of miscellaneous other material through the Numero Group before releasing a brand new third album near the end of the year. Fast forward to now, and Numero Group have announced that on August 21 they will be releasing The Black Moon, a reissue that collects all of the recordings of Valium Aggelein, Duster's trippier, post-rock inflected alter ego. 25 tracks that encompass Dweller on the Threshold and Hier Kommt Der Schwartze Mond and four unreleased tunes.

The whole thing can be streamed on Bandcamp at present:

Craig Dunsmuir is a Toronto musician and producer who has worked closely with Sandro Perri in the past, mainly in the duo Glissandro 70, but several other projects as well.

Since the outbreak of Covid-19, he's been opening up his archive of various solo recording and performing protects including Kanada 70, Max Gross, and others. He's also been dropping demo tracks for his newest project, the Dun-Dun Band, who have been performing for a couple years now. These overdubbed solo demos have been dubbed Dun-Dun Man, and have now been collected into an album, P​-​-​>a​-​-​>n​-​-​>d​-​-​>e​-​-​>m​-​-​>o​-​-​>s 1​-​-​>10. Think Steve Reich style minimalism mated to a kind of funky, laid-back Afro-Caribbean sound.

Here it is on Bandcamp, where one can also find the rest of his growing archive:

Listening to Thank You Ancestor Finger by Harper's Jar right now. It's good. Hooky. Muddy. This would have been one of my 15 year old me's favorite albums.
