Welcome to the Bleep Weekly Roundup, our guide to the best new releases. Our album of the week this week is Lifetime by Klein; a deeply personal record with influences ranging from ‘King of Gospel Music’ composer James Cleveland, to early 18th century tonalities, the work of ‘race film’ pioneer Spencer Williams, the residue of the religious experience as well as featuring saxophonist Matana Roberts. Our EP of the week is Lanark Artefax on Numbers on exclusive clear vinyl.
