It‘s a sunday and it’s time for a new radio show. So here’s a new radio, from me to you. goldflakepaint.ghost.io/lost-souveni...

Very lucky to be out in Cork for Sounds From A Safe Harbour festival. Everything is excellent. Everyone is lovely. A real reminder of why it all matters.

£60 to see an "indie" band at the Barras feels like a breaking point, right? Not really sure where it goes from here 🥴

It’s been a long time since something I’ve shared has had the kind of reaction this has. I hope it finds you through all the noise and resonates. It’s a remarkable record, full of dust and crooked magic. goldflakepaint.ghost.io/jens-kuross-...

Sharing a big old conversation with Runnner up on the blog today. Talking all things rest, recovery and a reconciling, of sorts, ahead of his new album in late August. Dig in: goldflakepaint.ghost.io/in-conversat... ✨

Stockholm's Dag och Natt are sweeping away the cobwebs this morning. New single 'Tunis' is wonderful; Radio Dept tinged magic that grows and grows and grows. goldflakepaint.ghost.io/stockholms-d...

Bonniesongs new LP 'Strangest Feeling' (out now on Impressed Recordings) is in @goldflakepaint.bsky.social album round-up: “...as crisp and vital as ever, a ten-song collection that ripples and glistens and glows – all sweat and song – with that funny ol' thing called life.” GoldFlakePaint

Citing both Greg Mendez and PJ Harvey as key influences, the debut song from the debut album from Aida Mekonnen Caby is a subtle swoon with a hidden edge; it’s wonderful too. goldflakepaint.ghost.io/aida-mekonne...

Late to it, but this new work from @poorcreaturemusic.bsky.social is gripping. Irish folk songs, elevated to a place even more peculiar and dramatic. Absolutely fascinating; with a new album released next week: goldflakepaint.ghost.io/poor-creatur...

The quiet wonder of Little Mazarin: goldflakepaint.ghost.io/little-mazar...

"On 'Skyline Arms-Reach Out' I shifted the lyrics & meaning to honor Blackness in all of its forms. I had this existential moment where I felt like I needed a song about Black joy & love & resilience. The song feels rich in emotion, exactly how I felt in the moment." ❤️ @goldflakepaint.bsky.social
