The mighty STOOR have finally released their third album Fecund. If you're interested in original post-punk, hints of Wire, the Three Johns and Flying Nun, yet sounding not quite like any of that, it's available via Bandcamp now stoor1.bandcamp.com/album/fecund...

Still a handful of tickets left for our house show featuring @mjohnhenry.bsky.social and @raveloe.bsky.social in Cupar, Fife on the afternoon of Sunday 16th November. Last tickets here: wegottickets.com/sct/MQ6ggHUB...

Don't imagine my picks for #5debutalbums1014 will make much impact. This one by four ex-Petrols really should have made a splash but somehow fell between the cracks. It's still worthy of investigation although only through Bandcamp.

But taken aback to discover that Glinner was Select's film critic and that he liked Fire Walk With Me (but apparently not Twin Peaks s2 🤔

Tonight's entertainment at the 78 in Glasgow

Giving the main album a play before heading to bed for a duvet afternoon.

Blue Aeroplanes tickets secured!

Choked with the cold (hopefully) and can’t sleep.

More than 30 years, this still astounds. What would I give to head it live again? music.apple.com/gb/album/jc-...

New single 'I'm fine, are you?' cover revealed ! It's been lovingly created by our good pal and artist @ Nate gamble and features a dreamy surfer gal riding a wave in paradise. Hope you like it and don't ya think it will make an awesome t-shirt ;) it will be out on November 14 on @lnfg.bsky.social

Interesting detail in here that a) the trio actually did try to reunite for the Copper Blue tour that Bob ended up doing with Jason and Jon , b) HODM is an old song.
