That Chuck Roth record is unreal. I think it’s gotten more spins this year than any other on my shelf. It takes the most riveting left turns…

My 2025 in a screenshot — I track what I'm working on in my Notes app. Here's my list for this year w a few redactions for things that haven't been announced yet. The numbers refer to the month. It was a pretty busy year, we'll see what '26 holds.

'If you’re a fan of Bill Orcutt, check Cyrus Pireh’s Thank You, Guitar. It’s all gnarls and whorls and earworms, his tone is killer... all fidelities jimmying up together, perfectly capped with a locked groove on the LP' Cyrus Pireh -Thank You, Guitar - Rum Music: The Best of 2025 buff.ly/RekOkQL

Shout out to Cyrus Pireh for his recent "best of" appearances in recognition of his Palilalia LP "Thank you Guitar." Cyrus will play this rec LIVE at Roulette at the two Palilalia festival in March. Tickets below FRIDAY 3/20: roulette.org/event/bill-o... SATURDAY 3/21: roulette.org/event/bill-o...

true story: partly because of when it came out, but mostly because of the dreamy backdrops from old LPs & the gorgeous foreground guitar melodies, @billorcutt.bsky.social's "how to rescue things" was/is an instant modern holiday classic for wintery nights. billorcutt.bandcamp.com/album/how-to...

"How to Rescue Things" is back in print — get it on the Orcutt bandcamp. I had the chance to play it live for the first time last week in Hong Kong. Amazing experience & can't wait to do it again in Brooklyn at Roulette in March. Tickets on sale now FRIDAY 3/20: roulette.org/event/bill-o...

New Shane Parish is as good as you'd hope. Not just because it's conceptually so beautiful - a project in how the fundaments of a music are not always what you think they are? - but because Autechre Guitar exists as great music regardless of the backstory/provenance.

Shane Parish announces 'Autechre Guitar,' an album of Autechre songs performed on solo acoustic guitar. Hear the first two tracks:

Buy this today and give yerself a treat for next February. Always important to have cool things to look forward in these dystopian times.

New on Palilalia, Shane's Parish's latest "Autechre Guitar." Shane's been working on this one a LONG time. Check it out on Bandcamp. The first two singles are up, you can read Philip Sherburne's illuminating notes and preorder the gatefold 2LP and CD! shaneparish.bandcamp.com/album/autech...

PREORDER: 'Another Perfect Day' by Bill Orcutt Café Oto recorded live album from the acclaimed experimental guitarist. www.normanrecords.com/records/2121...

Out November 14 - Bill Orcutt “Another Perfect Day” LP / CD from Palilalia. This may be Orcutt's most overtly punk-rockist record since Gerty Loves Pussy, his first solo electric LP from a decade ago. Another Perfect Day is, ultimately, something of a solo guitar Nouveau Roman. #BILLORCUTT

Experimental guitar virtuoso @billorcutt.bsky.social announces new album 'Another Perfect Day' — hear "A Natural Death"

Here it is, the only Orcutt LP on Palilalia this year. Recorded at Cafe Oto, this one's a great memory for me — incredible night of solo sets by the quartet, drinking w friends and playing for an AMAZING audience. Very happy to share it w everybody now. billorcutt.bandcamp.com/album/anothe...

Really nice interview with Bill up on @acrossthemargin.bsky.social podcast now~ talkin’ Orcutt Shelley Miller, touring with Sonic Youth, the perfect album length, the song that was almost called “Corndog” and a tons more, dig it acrossthemargin.com

Great review for the new LP in Pitchfork today! pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

hey @bandcamp.com — there's a company called en.mygomp3.com that's spamming your site, creating fake accounts and linking to mp3s they don't own but host on their site. I know this bc they did it to me -> bill-orcutt.bandcamp.com Can someone have a look? I'm sure yr security team would be interested

#NowPlaying: #FirstListen to Orcutt, Shelley, Miller s/t (Silver Current, 2025). @billorcutt.bsky.social, Steve Shelley, and Ethan Miller bring less talk, more rock. Out now on @silvercurrent.bsky.social. #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #musicsky #vinylsky

Bill Orcutt, Steve Shelley, and Ethan Miller bringin’ it in hot to a rapt crowd last night at the Rickshaw in Vancouver BC. A Jazz Infidels show with electro jazz combo Knee Jerk opening. Felt like 2025 in America. @silvercurrent.bsky.social @billorcutt.bsky.social @rickshawtheatre.bsky.social

Orcutt Shelley Miller is going to Big Ears!

My #bandcampfriday involves lots of listening to the new trio release from experimental guitar player Bill Orcutt, Sonic Youth's Steve Shelley and Ethan Miller from psychedelic band Comets On Fire. This is fiery improvisational insanity and I feel very inspired by it.
