Make time for “To A God (Compassion)”, a standout collaboration between Bristol’s Run Logan Run and Gina Leonard of Mumble Tide. Leonard’s voice brings an intimate edge to saxophonist and producer Andrew Neil Hayes’s expansive sound. Bristol filmmaker Chris Lucas directs the new video. Catch both acts at Strange Brew on 2 December.

A 16-track album with room to breathe. The two intermissions break up a long arc that takes in “Sing Me to Sleep”, “Twin Suns” and “Red Moon Rise”. One to play through on the walk home.

One to watch. “Acquiescence” is the standout for us. There’s a recognisably Bristol trip-hop mood to it, right up against the weight of metal. The contrast gives the track its pull and makes this six-track release worth sitting with.

Bristol’s TheLateNightPharmacy puts two crate-dug edits, “BLINDLOVE” and “GOSPEL”, onto its second release. The project describes the series as a not-for-profit venture rooted in DJ and vinyl culture.

A two-track Nota Fortis release that puts the title cut next to “Analyse”. A compact listen if you’re digging through the week’s independent label releases.

Metanoia returns to Neuroheadz with three tracks that put the groove up front. Try “Selecta” after the title track for another dose of rolling neurofunk.
