You may not have noticed it, but I was on holiday the past 12 days (yeah, it was great, thanks for asking!). In the meantime, of course, the new music just kept coming. I hope you did notice that, here on the blog, in my Spotify playlist Carte Blanche Music and/or elsewhere. New music automatically also means: new highlights. The following are last week’s best new tracks, as far as I’m concerned (presented in alphabetical order):

• Rocky – Love Is A Soft Machine (this week’s Wildcard)
• Saint Motel – Destroyer (last week’s Wildcard)
• RAC feat. Rivers Cuomo – I Still Wanna Know
• The The – We Can’t Stop What’s Coming
• Triggerfinger – Flesh Tight

Well, those are only just artists and titles, aren’t they? Through the Werner’s Weekly player in the sidebar you can listen to each of the tracks above, and clicking the links directs you to the short recommendations I wrote about them. Fancy even more great new music? Then my 2017 container playlist Carte Blanche Music is the one for you. If you subscribe to it, I’ll do the ‘dirty’ selection work for you from now on 😉 .
