Andalusian Superstition (1912)

Happy 40th birthday to my favourite Siouxsie & the Banshees single, Cities In Dust. The (what I assume is a) lyrical conceit of heavy cocaine use ruining domestic bliss… “Hot and burning! In your nostrils!“ & mention of Lares Familiares… against the backdrop of Pompeii burning is sublime.

So, is everyone now going to remove their music from Soundcloud due to the AI harvesting? And does a similar arrangement happen with Spotify/Apple Music etc?

Hi there, Happy #BandcampFriday! To celebrate we've just created a FLASH sale TODAY only. Everything is half price. Check things out here: abrasivetrees.bandcamp.com/merch #postrock #postpunk #experimentalrock #diyband #indielabel #bandcamp #supportmusicians

The album is now with our producer Niall for mixing. Hard to know when these album tracks began to take shape. Some from years ago, others more recently made into demos. This incredibly resonant harmonium is on loan from my brother Sebastian and appears on one of the tracks. Much love, Matthew x
