'Everything circulates without resolving, pulling the listener into a swirling current. Persian Carpets is a fascinating piece which, like the best improvisation, creates a world we never asked for, but find we cannot do without' Daniel O’Sullivan & Richard Youngs -Persian Carpets buff.ly/yrKiLjS

Last bandcamp friday of 2025 - use code vhf30 for 30% off of everything at vhfrecords.bandcamp.com or vhfrecords.com. Don't forget to order "Persian Carpets" by Daniel O'Sullivan & Richard Youngs if you want to really, really live!!! @nofansrecords.bsky.social

The new Richard Youngs album, coming out tomorrow, is an AOTY (I have a review copy, am reviewing it for WXDU) It's an album "that seems to have more to do with dub or early hip-hop than high-brow models of musical reductionism," says @bandcamp.com nofansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Out today on Black Truffle, our last release for 2025 is HIDDEN by the inimitable RICHARD YOUNGS. Like little else in contemporary music, Youngs’ work beams with the simple joys of exploration & experiment. LP+Digital: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/hidden
