Album of the Week: @billorcutt.bsky.social and Mabe Fratti's 'Almost Waking' is a testament to the kind of beauty that can emerge from two musicians sharing a similar wavelength even when they’re thousands of miles apart @1000timesjeff.bsky.social reviews www.treblezine.com/bill-orcutt-...

I didn't tap in with @billorcutt.bsky.social's brilliant music until Made Out Of Sound in 2021, so I loved reading more about his life and arc from @philipsherburne.bsky.social

I, too, only discovered @billorcutt.bsky.social's music from that 2021 record, but have since devoured almost everything he's put out. Hard to imagine much topping the Roulette Weekend for me in 2026. Was thrilled to see @philipsherburne.bsky.social's piece in my inbox this morning!

Bill Orcutt, Steve Shelley and Ethan Miller tell Jennifer Lucy Allan how a Grateful Dead tribute show led to their new collaboration, the joy of bootlegs, and how they're avoiding the ego-driven pitfalls that have dogged supergroups past An Interview with Orcutt Shelley Miller buff.ly/DQvWIsC

Shane Parish :: Autechre Guitar aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/03/25/s... Parish maintains the sparse, glitchy ambience of the originals while placing something else entirely in its place, with just his fingerstyle technique and the ability to, with it, form these ghostly layers of concentric circles

Orcutt Shelley Miller The Standard - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA March 29, 2016 Big Ears

Went to Acme Records in Milwaukee (first time!) and found this gem. I only discovered her recently via the recent @billorcutt.bsky.social 3-night concert in Brooklyn and am now happily diving in 🎸

N2 of the Bill Orcutt/Palilalia Records showcase upped the ante. Blazing solo set by Ava Mendoza, face-melting Orcutt - Corsano duo set, hypnotic solo set by Cyrus Pireh & a 3rd-eye squeeging by the 13-piece Four Louies closing set. Positively levitating rn. Bring on N3 tomorrow!

night 2 of @roulettenyc.bsky.social's instantly legendary @billorcutt.bsky.social fest: delirious "louie louie" maximalism on "the four louies," duo with chris corsano on elemental stone-skipping fire drums, & solo sets of prismatic electric fingerpicking by cyrus pireh & shred-melt by ava mendoza.

Happy New Bill Orcutt Day to all who celebrate.

N1 of the Bill Orcutt/Palilalia Records showcase did NOT disappoint. Shane Parish Autechre solo / Bill's How to Rescue Things / BOGQ / Chuck Roth & Kris Gruda (not pictured). Last nite showed that the guitar can still amaze you with what can be still be done with it after all of these yrs.

ecstatic overtones on night 1 of @roulettenyc.bsky.social's @billorcutt.bsky.social fest: the glorious guitar quartet, dreamy orcutt on "how to rescue things," @shaneparish.bsky.social's player piano-like right hand doing acoustic autechre, kris gruda's immolating acoustic bebop (plus chuck roth)

#NewMusicFriday @billorcutt.bsky.social, 'Last Days' The GUFFAW that emitted from my body upon hearing the riff featured in Bill's latest experiment in pop music minimalism. fakeestates.bandcamp.com/album/last-d...

'To mark Mabe Fratti and Bill Orcutt's forthcoming collaborative album Almost Waking, we've got Fratti's 2024 Baker's Dozen in which she praised Orcutt, resulting in the duo's initial communication...' #ThePortal: Your Weekly Quietus Archive Dive buff.ly/yKUaPzs

"I want to get closer to the music I love. Interpreting, arranging, and performing is how I do it. When I share this with the world, it’s like a love letter that I’m reading aloud to the song I am playing … I’m saying, 'I dig this. I hope you dig it too!'” An Interview with Shane Parish:
