Hello! I wrote up a full review for @thomasha.bsky.social 's brilliant, brilliant, unnerving, haunting, and deeply empathetic horror collection, Uncertain Sons itsajumble.blogspot.com/2025/09/revi...

At Ardmore Music Hall to see W.I.T.C.H.!

APB - Summer Love [Scotland, Post Punk/Indie/New Wave/Funk, still massively underrated but thank goodness because I can still share it with you lot. I know the tab’s a bit much but trust, it works] (1985) https://redd.it/ijpjt2 https://youtu.be/NmzrMqFf9hc

It finally came to me why I like this song so much... 1/3

VA - Ein Null: 10 Years Of Sprechen - a compilation of new tracks from acts that have been associated in some way with the Sprechen label. Highlights for me are a new dub track from ACR, and Massey & Supernature channeling Cabaret Voltaire

POPULATION II - Maintenant Jamais - I saw this band open for Frankie and the Witch Fingers last night and they were really good! Psychedlic prog rock from Montreal

At the First Unitarian Church in Philly to see Frankie and the Witch Fingers

Tape out now. Crackle. Organ hum. Rough beats & dub daze. The bass blown-out and up front. Everything echoes or covered in fuzz. Nothing is clear. One fragment of cut-up text remains... "artists bury night, wreck ears" blackhilltransmissions.bandcamp.com/album/transm...

Kenneth Lien & Center of the Universe - Norwegian Electronic Folk Music - one of those "does what it says on the tin" albums

Elsehow - Afterimage - professing inspiration from David Sylvian, Scott Walker, and Talk Talk (which we need more of!)

The Paper is pretty good but it would have been better if there was a character who always had Balatro on their monitor

Polyrhythmics - Life From Below - psychedelic soul from Seattle; RIYL Orgōne (they even have one of Orgōne's singers, Adryon de León, on one track)

Speaking of Phil Glass. Gotta give a shoutout to my bud @petridisch.bsky.social yet again petridisch.bandcamp.com/album/glass-... bsky.app/profile/toom...

Rani Jambak - Vibra Genetika - from Indonesia, history & tradition meet electronics (Yes No Wave Music)

OMG I am so sick of my Android phone trying to get me to activate Google Assistant every damn time I unlock it

Remixes by #TheBug, KMRU, Lucy Liyou and others transform the Kazakh violinist's 2024 album of reflections on the Soviet Semipalatinsk Test Site Galya Bisengalieva - Polygon Reflections buff.ly/AeJump7

My WVUD playlist, 9/15/2025

Tom Huntington - The Animal Show [USA, Jazz, Psyche] (1980): Wild piece of psychedelic jazz-rock from an album made up of songs by the students of Frostburg State College. The whole album was produced and recorded by the lege https://redd.it/pdfo8u https://youtu.be/65qwEB0m0TI

My initial reaction is it sounds like a cross between Stereolab and Goat (!)

"La Ceiba" - new single from Antibalas! From forthcoming album Hourglass (Daptone, Oct. 24)

Featuring @sulkrooms.bsky.social @greyfrequency.bsky.social @warringtonruncorn.com @polypores.bsky.social and many more lunar-module.bandcamp.com/album/northe...

I filled in on WVUD's All Tomorrow's Parties again this week, here is what I played

Profit Black Spot Archive 81

Permutations 9/8/2025 is available on Mixcloud; playlist in pic 2 www.mixcloud.com/BurlVeneer/p...

Marshall Allen - The Omniverse Oriki - Afro-Cuban space jazz from Allen's trio with the Ade Ilu Ensemble

For me this was, and always will be, the sound of Modernity

How do you answer your phone?

What a thread! 🤯

Bluesky has bookmarks now! Finally! Saves me the three steps of saving everything I want to follow up on to Inoreader

Radio show tonight! Combinations of Fourth World, jazz, post-rock, & electronics on Permutations, 8-10 PM EDT on WVUD 91.3 FM in Newark, Delaware; online streams at tunein.com/radio/WVUD-9... and www.wvud.org/stream1.htm

TL;DR and Peter Knight - Too Long; Didn't Read - "Influenced by Brian Eno, John Hassell, The Necks, and swathes of electronic music" caught my eye, and the music bears it out

djrum.bandcamp.com/album/under-... #NowPlaying #MusicSky A beautiful record to fall asleep to. Such a wondrous thing that folk like this are around to enrich our lives. An absolute certainty for my AOTY list.

Open Yellow Circle - Black Water Light - Fourth World-ish electronica in the vein of O Yuki Conjugate (of which they are an offshoot), also with irresistible keywords in the promo copy: "an unholy mashup of pastoral electronica, upcycled cyberjazz, and wonky dub"

Guedra Guedra كدرة كدرة - MUTANT - from Morocco, electro beats layered with field recordings from across the African continent

La Chooma - Local Spirits - SO MANY KEYWORDS: "Psychedelic dub, Afro-Latin rhythms and cosmic grooves... Drawing on Moroccan Gnawa, Colombian cumbia, Afrobeat, Jamaica dub & roots, and cosmic jazz" 🤯

Kuntari - Mutu Beton - self-proclaimed "primal-core" duo from Indonesia; RIYL 23 Skidoo

Marina Mello - Deságua - processed harp (one more!)

Flur - Plunge - harp, saxophone, percussion trio (now that I've set a keyword monitor for harp/harpist in my RSS reader I'm finding even more)

Throwing Shapes - s/t LP - harp & electronics

🚨New on Phonautograph🚨 The follow-up to the first Four Way Hips album. This one's not recorded to a four-track, though. Electronic with some Brazilian twists and big beats. I think it's a fun record. If you like Cluster's Zuckerzeit this may be up your alley:

The Happy Fits - Black Hole - a rock band with a cello - I like it

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.
