Well that was joyous

I’ve started a new thing! I’m going to be hosting live events here in Holmfirth under the banner of Holmfirth Sound Society. Everything going up here instagram.com/holmfirthsoundsociety

Last night I watched a horror film with friends. Then got up and did parkrun with my wife. Then we had a coffee and an egg bap. Then there was a charity cake sale. Then I looked around charity shops listening to the cricket. Then I had a long phone call with a friend. Great weekend. Sunny as well.

Get it in my eyes 👀

So you know what's alright? The second Polyphonic Spree album. I won't be taking questions at this time.

Looking to book some gigs for 2026. Any promoters please get in touch. Suggestion of regular nights or support slots also welcome. Gig might look a bit like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkad...

During Christmas 2002, after my first term at Uni, I came home and made a tape called Hell Opera. Its mainly howling feedback created with a cheap PC desktop mic and some Soundblaster speakers. It's horrific and every BC Friday I think 'is it time to put it back out into the world?'. It's not.

Only just got round to watching the Lynch/Oz film and think it might be one of my favourite things ever. Just a beautiful meditation on not only Lynch, but also movies, americana, nostalgia and how the art we consume as children moves through us for our whole lives.

There’s so many instances of where I accidentally hit a knob on a plugin and went “oh wait, that sounds dope” or dropped in a loop, chopped it up, and forgot about it until I’m reviewing the mix Basically my whole catalogue is full of happy accidents, and no prompt could EVER replicate that

Spent a lot of yesterday nearly pressing GO on a discogs order but couldn't shake a nagging feeling I already owned the CD. Got back home to find that I had indeed picked up the CD from a market a couple of years ago, at a more reasonable price Its important to congratulate your in-the-past-self

You have until tomorrow (Monday 26th of Jan) to pick up our last album for the bargain price of £4 jilk.bandcamp.com/album/fix-yo... va vite!!!!

In that stage of a new release where we're sorting artwork and sending final mixes over, and we're just VERY excited for you to hear this one...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCdU... Despite listening to Homogenic for years and years - I've only just really listened to the lyrics to Unravel - they're so beautiful.

Huge thanks for the support so far for Kayla’s @kaylapainter.bsky.social album, been an amazing response from fans and press alike. Very grateful! Two more days of half-price digital and some CDs left.

A great chance to pick up one of 2025’s best. Subtle and melodic post rock and glitchy electronics with an undercurrent of French pop from Air back to Hardy.

jilk.bandcamp.com/album/fix-yo... The digital for FIX YOUR HEARTS has a whopping 60% discount for the next 7-DAYS. Offer ends Jan 26th

Absolute bargain for one of my favourite albums of last year - I guess a kind of post-rock take on 1960s French pop, though also that feels like a lazy way to describe something so multi-layered. Well worth a couple of quid to find out for yourself.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDdl... Flea feat. Thom Yorke (Topless topless) Flea doing a jazz solo album. I don't feel that strongly about this track other than it sort of reminds me of a spooky Sesame Street, which is a vibe I'm here for.

qd44 Kayla Painter - Tectonic Particles - out now! To welcome in 2026, very happy to present a wonderful new interpretation of quiet details by one of the most inventive and gifted artists working today, Kayla Painter @kaylapainter.bsky.social

We go live in 30mins for our last ever mas 555 wHY episode over at listen.camp It's been a year of doing these shows every 4 weeks and it's been an amazing experience. We're sad to be stopping them but the 'mas ### wHY' project must evolve. Thanks for the support Jx

Sorry to be every middle aged music fan right now, but Geese and Cameron Winter are really good aren't they?

Hey friends - hope all good and Happy New Year :) Very pleased to say our first release of 2026 is something really special - a beautiful interpretation from wonderful musical polymath, Kayla Painter @kaylapainter.bsky.social Next Wed 14th Jan, digital and CD Listening party Thurs 15th 19:00 UK

Bet this feels well weird for Bethall. Like winning the lottery just as the apocalypse starts.

It's been another great year for new music. Thanks to all the musicians, labels and music obsessives for the continual curiosity and passion. Here's 24 albums that have proved special for me this year. May I wish you and those close to you a peaceful Christmas 🎄x #AlbumsOf2025

dylanhenner.bandcamp.com/album/star-d... This Dylan Henner album is stupid gorgeous. Like a hazy teen romance but also oneohtrix point never and 'channel zero' weird

The Sarno Ultra album we wrote with @kaylapainter.bsky.social is number 7 in @moonbuilding.bsky.social albums of the year list As is our lastest Jilk album moonbuilding.substack.com/p/issue-92-1... ALSO in the top electronic albums for @acloserlisten.bsky.social acloserlisten.com/2025/12/14/a...

Sarno Ultra (Sarno ultra), debut album from me and Jon from @jilk.bsky.social made the end of year list in @moonbuilding.bsky.social 🥳 So chuffed to have this in there, to hear it reached people and they vibed with it is second to none!! Released via @bricolageg5.bsky.social 🩷

We go live at 1PM UK time over at listen.camp for our very festive Christmas show. Sleigh bells processed beyond recognition A short story about losing your mind over a non-linear Christmas day Lashings of crushing drone and experimental textures.

Thanks Andy :-) Had such a good time on stage and talking to people afterwards

Lovely time playing the Exchange Basement last night. Final gig of the year. Solo sets are very different but its a great opportunity to explore some different ways of working and play some face melters.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjuo... Tiny Desk knocking it out the park this year. Lovely set from Air. If you like this check out our new album which was very influenced by Air jilk.bandcamp.com/album/fix-yo...

I'm glad it's essentially a second team bowling line-up that's destroyed England. Removes some of the excuses

thank you for the lovely words here @thisoccasionalsoc.bsky.social Bandcamp Friday is a great day to check out our new album :-)

CDs aren’t crazy expensive like new vinyl. 15 years ago I would have refused to buy one but now it seems like a reasonable purchase again

C'mon Brook. The game is 5 days long
