Concrete Things has just become the first of our songs to reach 2,000 likes (with 117,000 plays) on Soundcloud. A satisfying numerical milestone, as such things go. soundcloud.com/fold/concret...

The imperialist US energy juggernaut has always desired to take control of Venezuela’s fossil fuels. This escalation was inevitable. Unless a power rises to overturn the will of both longstanding core US energy policy objectives & the military-industrial complex then US invasion is also inevitable.

We can choose to stop telling ourselves that we are under any obligation to post our thoughts and experiences on social media. I believe it is okay, in fact often better, to live life without doing so.

Posting this again: a very young producer who started from scratch in our workshop less than a year ago has just released his first album: a Lo-fi project under the name Lowtide Loops called Lonely Street Lights. Please do him a favour & give it a listen: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Yes we very much do.

Tomorrow folks!

‘Resistance, Refusal, Ridicule’ is among someone’s tracks of the year! Thanks @hby14.bsky.social 🙏❤️ Go listen on Mixcloud:

Just a reminder: this Friday Dec 5 is another Bandcamp Friday 🥳 If you’re thinking about buying our music / merch it is the best time to do so because Bandcamp waive their usual fees & we get a little extra support w/ each purchase. NB also check out our new merch bundles: fold.bandcamp.com/merch

You won’t see much amplification of humanitarian organisations and their ongoing efforts in mainstream media. That is why we do what we can to amplify them. Among those doing amazing work here in the UK is @hopenothate.org.uk. Can you help them out? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/182892/...

A very young producer who started from scratch in our workshop less than a year ago has just released his first album, a Lo-fi project under the name Lowtide Loops (not his main artist guise) called Lonely Street Lights. Please do him a favour & give it a listen: music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

How Black Men Lose Their Smile is one of the most powerful tracks and lyrical compositions I’ve come across in a long while. Bashy is on another level here — this is grime for adults who value personal growth. If you haven’t heard (or seen) this please take a moment to do. youtu.be/qtvr1tBVUZE?...

This Black Friday why not buck the trend and get yourself some delicious Fold vinyl? It’s subversive, dissenting and the man won’t even know you’re listening to it. There’s even a bundle with all 4 of our 12” releases for £35. fold.bandcamp.com/merch

As a North American expat living in the UK for the past 22 years I can safely report that here there is simply no such thing as Thanksgiving. They do have Black Friday, inexplicably, but not one person here has even mentioned Thanksgiving to me on the actual day in 22 years.

Happy birthday to the martial arts genius and philosopher Bruce Lee who would have been 85 today. This is our tribute to him from 2015 featuring his own voice and thoughtful illuminations: youtu.be/Dao9gFOHoEo?...

From 1pm on Sep 11, 2001 after I’d made it back to my Brooklyn studio apartment, I feared terrorism would become the US military-industrial complex’s perennial pretext to wage any & all wars in order to secure the world’s little remaining fossil fuel supplies. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

With '10 Past Midnight' @fold.fm reference their own past, and also the future of us all. Powerful and empowering music. Read about the son on the @analoguetrash.com #musicblog🖤 www.analoguetrash.com/blog/fold-10...

Awesome to see @taxjustice.net celebrating the West Yorkhire Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund that puts seized criminal assets back into grass roots community projects. It is thanks to this fund that we were able to run our music production workshop for young people facing barriers this past year 💖

Had a lovely time dropping underground 90s hip hop this morning on a crowd that was probably there for anything but 😂 Good vibes at the @nathbrudenell.bsky.social Record Fair. On until 3pm today! (NB the video’s from right before I came on. Clearly that’s not underground hip hop playing).

@bythebywater.bsky.social This inn has no real connection to Tolkien but felt like a good excuse to let you know how much I love your podcast. Listened to every single episode, some multiple times. The live evisceration of The Hobbit films is my 🥇 Each new episode makes my day, long may you continue

To truly understand our world one must view it through the lens of fossil fuels: how much of each remain, where they are located & who controls them? These are the 5 countries with most “proven oil reserves”: 1. Venezuela 2. Saudi Arabia 3. Iran 4. Iraq 5. Canada en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

On a personal note, I’m selling my beloved electric guitar as it’s less suited for our stage show than the studio and I’ll be on primary live axe duties going forward. This guitar’s appeared on most of the Fold catalogue. Here’s the listing if you’re interested: reverb.com/item/9165357...

It is a week on from the release of our latest work 10 Past Midnight and we just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported us with this and past releases. We can’t adequately convey how much it means to us 💖

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Merci pour votre gentillesse Iggy ❤️ www.iggymagazine.com/10-past-midn...

Discovered/fell in love with the music of @fold.fm this year. Deftly blending funk & hip-hop aesthetics and clips from various speeches & media, these songs are catchy-yet-poignant, with a message that sticks with you long after it's over. Like DJ Shadow w/ more politics! ampwall.com/a/fold/album...

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

I don't know how you manage to just absolutely nail it every time! The use of spoken word is remarkable. Love love love it!

“A nation that’s divided against itself cannot stand.” — Fannie Lou Hamer, as featured on our new EP 10 Past Midnight, out now: fold.bandcamp.com/album/10-pas...

Many thanks & love to Gideon Coe for playing So It Goes from our debut album on BBC 6 Music in celebration of the album’s 10th anniversary. He’s been with us from day one and we are hugely grateful ❤️

Today @ 1pm ET! Join @anatosaurus.bsky.social and @mikepod.bsky.social on Substack Live for their weekly Meeting the Moment!

There is a poignant synchronicity in the death of Dick Cheney coinciding with the election of @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social as the first Muslim Mayor of New York City. The “Cheney Doctrine” had a devastating impact on Muslim countries and Cheney was also operationally responsible on / for 9/11.

At last, good news for New York City.

Legal experts agree that the indictment against me and five others is politically-motivated. Thank you @legaleagle.tv @lizdye.bsky.social for bringing attention to this case.

Spotify is running recruitment ads for ICE. Their CEO Daniel Ek is funding an AI military defence company. They also undervalue and underpay artists. For all of those reasons and more we did not release our latest record on their platform.

The most important learning in our 15 years as a group is how narratives are wielded by the powerful to control a society’s thoughts. Narrative Control—from our new EP—features the words of Thomas Karat who delivers the most concise explanation of how this works. fold.bandcamp.com/track/narrat...

If you need something to give you a little hope in a bleak world then have a listen to the new album from @fold.fm fold.bandcamp.com/album/10-pas...

Reposting for the folks in other time zones. Here’s the Ampwall link again too: ampwall.com/a/fold/album...

Here’s the @ampwall.com link, as promised: ampwall.com/a/fold/album...

Today marks a decade since our first album came out and we’ve just released a new EP, 10 Past Midnight, reflecting on 10 years of resistance in sound & remaining unsilenced in a time of stifled dissent. Only available on Bandcamp & Ampwall, in protest. fold.bandcamp.com/album/10-pas...

The Persistence is one of our favourite podcasts and they’ve just done an episode on Fannie Lou Hamer that you should really check out. Full disclosure, our track is the podcast’s theme tune and we did have some involvement with this episode but never mind that. spotify.link/NtK2KNNLWXb
