And from @3lobed.bsky.social, pick up Gunn-Truscinski Duo's Flam on Indie Exclusive Transparent Pink Vinyl!

always love reading what JR brings to the table. thanks for the deep words on “flam”!

Some of my favourite musicians working today. Steve Gunn and John Truscinski intuitively converse through strings, drone, and percussion, creating a meditative sonic landscape. Highly anticipating their next record, Flam, out Feb 28 gunntruscinskiduo.bandcamp.com/album/flam

Essential New Music: Gunn-Truscinski Duo’s “Flam” (@3lobed.bsky.social, @jskimegamix.bsky.social). “The twosome’s chemistry has been transformed from one of signature instrumental exchanges to one of shared ideas about sound.” Read our review: magnetmagazine.com/2025/02/28/e...

pleased to reveal BATTLE FOR L.A.: a see/saw benefit 40 songs, previously unreleased, to benefit those impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires Sweeping Promises, Tyvek, Shogun, Gee Tee, Bermuda Squares, Celebrity Sighting, Still Animals + 34 others see-sawdotfun.bandcamp.com/album/battle...

full thread truth

Eli Winter's latest traces the restrained chaos that the quartet fostered in the studio. It’s darker, more contorted than his past works, and certainly in line with the Chicago school of fusion that’s birthed so many favorites. New album soon on Three Lobed. bit.ly/3Xd9qeP

Openness and flow let Flam pulse with an airiness that’s often been absent in the past. GTD calls out the cinematic feelings on the record, and it does feel like a kindred spirit to someone like Steven R. Smith, using studio vibe like a Ouija to create emotional arcs. bit.ly/3QzC8TJ

well, well, well - gunn - truscinski’s “flam” is album of the day at @bandcamp.com with a killer write up by @spinal-bap.bsky.social. read on! daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the...

If you're a music writer interested in hearing my next record, plz DM for JDD Promo Party Pack or vinyl. The Lifer Label & I are doing our own DIY full court PRESS. It's a laidback country-folk LP, never boring, never redundant, in the pocket, & singular. You've been warned.

This incredible record is out today.

FYI to further support The Bird House, I am making myself available for various services and things I've been offering to personal contacts, friends-of-friends, etc. over the last many years. Need a new bio? A one-sheet? Mentoring? Poster or album cover? Get in touch bbs, you won't be sad you did.

i wish everyone was more comfortable being bad at things! you start out being bad and then you continue being bad and one day you're decent, or even good — this is true of writing, and perhaps even pottery, laundry, chemical engineering.

Barely a month until you can let the sounds of the new Gunn-Truscinski Duo LP wash over you. Still have a couple of purple copies left as well as one test pressing for those so inclined. gunntruscinskiduo.bandcamp.com/album/flam?l...
