Treble Zine on Caged Animals - Make Strange Friends “…tailor-made for chilly fall afternoons and close listening on a good pair of headphones” www.treblezine.com/8-great-folk...

Icymi I wrote up a very cool record that hits that sweet spot between abstract electronica and dub

"Unifies us across the occupied pond" Anishinaabe author Leanne Betasamosake Simpson (@biidaasamose.bsky.social) gets a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review from us for NOOPIMING: THE CURE FOR WHITE LADIES, out today via @andotherstories.bsky.social

Eric’s Trip is one of my favourite bands… so it only made sense to record a cover of the iconic View Master when we built our home studio ! Out now on all frickin’ platforms and via @youvechanged.bsky.social - no lawyers, no contracts Stream now- tr.ee/lIm2SHtB1P

Status/Non-Status return with special tribute cover of foundational lo-fi heros Eric’s Trip! Remember the power and inspiration of making rock music at the margins, in small towns, with your closest friends. statusnonstatus.bandcamp.com/album/view-m...

“All in all, Friendship Traces is an electronic dub record that’s nothing like the stuff Adrian Sherwood’s been brewing on the other side of the Atlantic,” writes Roz Milner. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7992096... @rozmilner.bsky.social @youvechanged.bsky.social

I talked to @biidaasamose.bsky.social about what it takes to stay human and protect each other in fascistic times, and how we can build networks of care, defend our neighbors, grieve, and make space for joy. This episode includes some Nishnaabe wisdom and music from Leanne. Transcript + audio:

"And I remember … trying to record with a cassette tape off the car radio… Joy Division, New Order, the Cure. Sometimes the music that you're listening to in high school and in your early years as an adult kind of defines you and takes you through adult life." 🎶 - Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

@biidaasamose.bsky.social “Live Like The Sky” (@youvechanged.bsky.social) www.leannesimpson.bandcamp.com Warm chords slashed over fractured tabulated waves, Simpson swims in driving hybrids combining glancing tangents and slippery symmetry inside liquid, jet-propelled fusion.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's "Murder of Crows" Is a Euphoric Rallying Cry

Swept up in Romano’s rock n’ soul meets power pop sway, the cut is draped in big riffs, hand-claps, and cool water harmonies. It’s everything you could want out of the Outfit and there’s more on the way with two more tracks rounding out the 7” when it slips out in October bit.ly/3JQiouJ
