"These folks aren't the sharpest hoods at the rally." -I said that and thought it was pretty funny. Thanks, and have a nice night.

What?! It's an ALL COLD WAVES FESTIVAL edition of Industrial Gossipz?!?!?! Yes. Yes it is. www.facebook.com/causticmusic...

I think I know the direction of the MCU X-Men movie.

Thank you! And that was all me, just talking into the mic. I'd written something but it wasn't ringing true, so I just kept talking and got something real out of me. <3

My personal favorite U.S. festival starts TONIGHT! Hope to see you out. Ticket links at coldwaves.net! JOIN THE EFFIN' PARTY!!!

FIEND II is now on streaming! And if you're NOT on Spiffyfy please stream the EXTRA heck out of the album because I'll most likely get better reimbursement. ;) Thank you, I hope you enjoy the album. This one's more trip-hoppy and dark than FIEND I and I love it. open.spotify.com/album/0JFCar...

This album will rapture the CRAP out of you!

"There's no reason to be kind to someone who looks down on marginalized people and makes efforts to dehumanize them." - Matt Fanale aka @causticmf.bsky.social

The world is going to shit so I wanna release my album a day early! CHECK OUT FIEND II ON BANDCAMP NOW! On streaming TOMORROW!

Thanks to Elektro Vox! www.elektrovox.com/post/intervi...

Heads up! I'm subbing in on SOMETHING WONDERFUL tonight and will be playing a bunch of radio appropriate stuff off FIEND II as the New Disc at Nine! Please tune in if you're local or otherwise. 8-11PM (Koob will be taking the back half of the show). 89.9FM locally or wortfm.org to STREAM.

The main event starts one week from today!!!

Thanks to everyone streaming the new Jane's Addiction cover I did with clubdrugs! FIEND II is out Wednesday! FIEND I is out NOW!!! caustic.bandcamp.com to order!

Anyone who backed my KS should check your email. I sent something out early. I hope people appreciate it. To be honest I don't know if the word "enjoy" works for the album. I just know I ripped out my heart to make this one and hope it resonates with you. Thank you for making all this possible. ❤

I can't believe my kids need to grow up with this bullshit.

"What? Robert Redford died? TIME TO PUT ON LEGAL EAGLES!" -Something nobody has said in the last 24 hours

It's ONE WEEK until FIEND II is out, so I thought I'd share the SECOND cover I did for the albums with Jane's Addiction's CHIP AWAY! Chicago's CLUBDRUGS did the tripped out vocals! Check CLUBDRUGS out and see them on tour with IAMX soon! Stream Chip Away or dl it if you preordered the album on BC!

WHAT?! SURE, THIS IS REAL! I totally collaborated with KILLSTAR to release a collection inspired by my new album FIEND II, out NEXT WEDNESDAY! (Just play along. I need any publicity I can get.) us.killstar.com/collections/...

Last night I made a reference to the Juggalos and my son asked if Puddles from Puddles Pity Party was one of them. I didn't say no.

How to know who is only getting their news from one source: "Tell me ONE TIME when Republicans have called for violence on Democrats?!?!" It's so hard to pick ONE out, fucko.

TONIGHT! CRUCIBLE! MADISON! Come on out and let's dance, you sexy bastards!

Update: The killer wasn't DEADMAU5.

Do you ever find yourself on social media and think "I don't know you well enough to hear this many of your opinions"?

I just saw a pic of the "person of interest" for yesterday's assassination and thought "Is that DEADMAU5?!" It's probably not Deadmau5.

Since it's a slow and not at all depressing news day....GOSSIPZ!!!!! www.facebook.com/causticmusic...

I will be on WORT's SOMETHING WONDERFUL tonight to talk FIENDs around 9PM! It's also host Ryan Parks' BIRTHDAY! Photo taken by Zuzu and fire-fied by Pancake Design. Enjoy the homage if you get it. 😉 89.9FM Locally in Madison, WI. STREAM IT at wortfm.org!

Be safe, Chicago. I love you. Do your thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBT3...

There was this kid, and didn't dig @causticmf.bsky.social , so his parents made him go to summer camp... at Camp Crystal Lake! That straightened him out. @ynotradio.net www.ynotradio.net #musicksky

@idieyoudie.bsky.social reviews FIEND I. THANK YOU to everyone supporting this release. Please give the review a read and follow IDYD. <3 www.idieyoudie.com/2025/09/05/c...

Every Time I Failed You is the track that took years to get out of me. Logan (of Cygnets fame) did me the absolute honor of providing vocals for it. I can't believe how well it turned out and getting this right was so important to me. On streaming now and on BC presales. ❤

For some reason I decided to argue with cult members. This was a poor choice.

"...then she noticed the googly eyes were following her. They were ALL following her. She shuddered and giggled simultaneously."

I spoke with my friend @spythenight.bsky.social about FIEND I and II and men's mental health, amongst other stuff. Check it out! startembracingthecrone.substack.com/p/caustics-f...

Hit 34k listeners on Sp00kify. More than double a month ago. Insane and utterly unexpected. Thanks to everyone streaming the new album, and thanks to everyone listening to CRAZY GLOO off F I E N D I I. ❤

I have a new track from FIEND II up on streaming (or if you pr3ordered on BC). The trip-hoppy CRAZY GLOO is now available for your listening pleasure!

NEW GOSSIPZ!!!!!! I will MOST DEFINITELY be offending fans of Paddington 2 with this one...OR WILL I?!? Watch and find out! www.facebook.com/reel/1502361...

You know you're a fucking electronic music dork when you're watching the new Underworld Boiler Room set and freaking out over getting to see Rick trigger shit live. I'm watching it like he's one of the Beatles and I'm screaming til I pass out. :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAOH...

I'm doing a FIEND I LISTENING PARTY!!! Join me Weds at 6PM Central US time (this'll hopefully mean overseas people can make it) and bring questions-- there's a lot to talk about. RSVP and see you then! caustic.bandcamp.com/merch/fiend-...

On last night's Hidden Forms Radio show, I had to play an edited version of my conversation with @causticmf.bsky.social because of time constraints. Thankfully I was able to upload the full version of our chat (and the Different songs) to my MixCloud. It's there. Waiting for you. Go. Listen.

Tune in tomorrow, folks!

I know Sporkify is sketch af, but seeing my numbers DOUBLE on there in the space of a month has been pretty amazing. I've never had a 100k month before. I'm a cult artist in a niche genre. I'm a niche niche. I'm grateful for anyone listening to what I do, but a LOT of younger folks are finding it.

HUGE LOVE to everyone listening to FIEND I and sharing their love for it. I very purposefully decided to leave my former label Negative Gain (no bad blood or drama-- I just needed to move on) so any word of mouth y'all can spare for it means the world to me. DIY do or die. <3 What an amazing week.

Thank you!

I love that @causticmf.bsky.social used a sample from a personal favorite The Tick (1994) character, Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight in one of latest Caustic tracks. caustic.bandcamp.com/track/erifno...

NEW GOSSIPZ!!!!! www.facebook.com/causticmusic...

Hey go buy this and support Caustic, hes pretty cool and he's worked with @unwoman.com before. I backed the Kickstart so ive got it, now do your part! Support artists and actual art.

Friends, @causticmf.bsky.social DOES. NOT. MISS. Do yourself a favor and check it his new album!

I was gonna start stream early, but I lost track of time listening to @causticmf.bsky.social 's new release, FIEND I, and enjoying some tracks that resonated hard with me. Heavily recommend it. Gonna gush about that and make fun of the new V:tM game in a few at twitch.tv/magnusmki #twitchsky #goth

Thank you! <3

Easily one of my favorite releases* this year so far *It should also be noted that the only other 2025 releases I've really given a lot of time/listens to are the latest Nevada Hardware joint, 3teeth's GnR cover, and the one song from NIN's Tron: Ares soundtrack
