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-...

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...

"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
