That slight trace of mystery and ambiguity in the title of Untitled #23 is a vague signal that the Church is returning to the spacy, hazy territory of their heyday on this, their 23rd album. The Church has never quite left this swirling psychedelia behind, but Untitled #23 has a delicate, suspended quality, floating at an elevated distance above earth. It's familiar yet not tired because the Church has a unified sense of purpose here, crafting tightly written songs that are then expanded and elongated when recorded, giving them an otherworldly quality.

The mysterious Sault return with their second album for 2020. This is the most essential album for 2020. It's their fourth album in less than two years and the quality and essential message has not been compromised. This album is based firmly around the dancefloor with gems that take in house disco, 80's Boogie and Post Punk. After one listen, you'll agree this album is something special, but along with Untitled (Black Is) they have made the soundtrack of modern times with lyrics of anger, resistance and protest. It's utterly compelling.
