Album of the Week: Toni Geitani's 'Wahj' is like breathtaking slow cinema erupting with chaos and violence, immersive and disruptive in equal measure. www.treblezine.com/t...

ICYMI, I'm making a hundred Treble 100-themed mixtapes, which I'll make for you if you support Treble! J-cards for the first five in the thread, will continually update in blocks of 5-10 as they're finished.

So, back in 2023 (and 2024) for Treble's 20th anniversary we did this list, Treble 100, which was a series of 100 essays on our favorite albums. It was fun to do, more personal than actual music criticism at times, and all the records are great, fwiw. www.treblezine.com/category/fea...

This year marks the centennial of Miles Davis, and 35 years after his passing in 1991, his legacy continues to dominate the arts like never before. Jeff over @treblezine.bsky.social assembled Miles' five best live recordings, and it's a keen list. ENJOY: www.treblezine.com/the-best-mil...

Miles Davis has over three dozen live albums and box sets, almost as overwhelming as his studio albums. I picked the five best, best being a totally arbitrary term, but these five are phenomenal regardless

The first great debut of 2026 is by SPILLINGS, a duo comprising members of Big|Brave and My Disco, and whose sound pairs minimalist post-punk groove with massive doses of noise. Great stuff, highly recommended, I wrote about it for @treblezine.bsky.social
