Hey, I started a site/newsletter to continue the work of my recently-cancelled column. I features a monthly (free) rundown of good experimental releases, plus a bonus (paid-sub) post on a single release from the month. Check out goodexperimentalmusic.com and thanks to everyone who encouraged this!

Liam Grant and Glenn Jones are back on tour in May and June! Marvel at their stuff crammed in a tiny car! Liam's LP PRODIGAL SON is still available - get it at a show or from vhfrecords.com, vhfrecords.bandcamp.com or maybe at a retailer or mailorder near you...

Drew Gardner :: Wave Field aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/04/27/d... Best known for the cosmic shimmer and drone of Elkhorn, Drew Gardner's a long-time Hawkwind head as well. As such, Wave Field is far more motorik and krautish than what you’ve heard from Gardner up to now.

Astral Social Club playing at Awen33 in Bangor on 9th May on a bill with my old pal Herb Diamanté and the mighty Anxiolytics. Nice Godbert collage poster too.

Essential New Music: Universal Light’s “Universal Light” (@vhfrecords.bsky.social). “While the feel is rustic, the music’s form coheres on the fly, growing solid inside of a glowing halo of resonance.” Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2026/04/06/e...

'Everything circulates without resolving, pulling the listener into a swirling current. Persian Carpets is a fascinating piece which, like the best improvisation, creates a world we never asked for, but find we cannot do without' Daniel O’Sullivan & Richard Youngs -Persian Carpets buff.ly/yrKiLjS

Looking forward to playing in Newcastle with the Vibracathedral in a couple of weeks. Been waaaaay too long since we were there.

An event happening tonight (2/6) in Charlottesville is this @teenbeat.bsky.social art/design show opening at Infinite Repeats! This should be very cool as of course Teenbeat Records has always had a singular and cool design bent to go along with the music. Should be a good time with good folks.

Essential New Music: Daniel O’Sullivan & Richard Youngs’ “Persian Carpets” (@vhfrecords.bsky.social @nofansrecords.bsky.social). Seeing as we live in a time when merely checking the news can demolish your mood, music this comforting is a gift. Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2026/02/02/e...

Now playing 👇 This is absolutely amazing, far far more than the sum of its parts. Just a beautiful record ❤️
