There are a limited number of Sennen CD bargain bundles up on @bandcamp.com featuring the expanded edition of their 2005 debut album ‘Widows’ and the accompanying live ‘Transmissions’ EP. Grab one here and get up to speed before their tour with The Early Years in November: sennen.bandcamp.com

Thanks to @gidcoe.bsky.social for spinning the new Andy Bell & Masal single on BBC Radio 6 Music earlier! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Just over five years ago we put out an expanded reissue of Sennen’s debut album ‘Widows’. The passage of time, and a great remastering job by @slowdiveofficial.bsky.social’s Simon Scott allowed for a reappraisal of this album, which some called “one of the best shoegaze records of all time”.

Andy Bell & Masal release a new album, ‘Common Primitives’, on October 9th. The second collaboration between the @rideox4official.bsky.social guitarist and the Essex-based harp and synth duo is a stunning, meditative collection which veers from kosmische to astral jazz by way of Turkish folk.

The BBC’s Maida Vale Studios closed at the end of June. So much musical history, including all those Peel sessions. Here’s Lorelle Meets the Obsolete (watched over by the man himself) on April 10, 2017, just before they played their first session for @marcrileydj.bsky.social Riley on 6 Music.
