ICYMI: my take on the still-fresh new Tortoise LP for @freqzine.bsky.social...

A packed and sweaty but utterly exhilarating @prolapseband.bsky.social gig in Bristol made for a fine @freqzine.bsky.social family outing last night. Great to also finally make up for missing them at a Leicester gig (with support from the long-lost Novak) in the late-90s. (@derrymick.bsky.social)

My thoughts on the new Tortoise LP for @freqzine.bsky.social... ⤵️

Agreed...

This sounds like a promisingly sublime collaboration...➡️ marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/track/melted...

Gorgeous chamber-pop from Matt Pond PA's expanded twentieth anniversary reissue of the still-sublime 'Several Arrows Later' LP. mattpondpa.bandcamp.com/track/so-muc...

A really lovely new low-key side-release from @ianbutton.bsky.social's Papernut Cambridge worth checking out...➡️ papernutcambridge.bandcamp.com/album/tape-s...

Always good to be reminded how elementally soothing this Land Observations album of ten years ago from @muterecords.bsky.social is... landobservations.bandcamp.com/album/roman-...

My freshest album review for @freqzine.bsky.social...⤵️

A great @freqzine.bsky.social family outing last night in Bristol. A truly sublime languid and expansive set from @6organs.bsky.social...

An ear-opening and informative episode of @stuartmaconie.bsky.social's curatorial Freak Zone, really worth catching up with... ➡️ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This is an interesting new @davidc86.bsky.social podcast interview with @minutebook.bsky.social, on his new book about David Ackles and his own past musical ventures. ➡️ thec86show.podbean.com/e/mark-brend...

Sublime Sunday listening... sallyannemorgan.bandcamp.com/album/second... @thrilljockey.bsky.social

Italian trio She's Analog have an intriguing and atmospheric approach to instrumental #improv. With No Longer, Not Yet .. they attempt to create a space that is liminal, somewhere that movement and creation intersect with sound and it has to be said it is pretty successful. #musicreview t.ly/BwozZ

ICYMI: my latest DIY electronic scene bundle for @freqzine.bsky.social, featuring @flcartographer.bsky.social and @bartholomusic.bsky.social. ⤵️

Amongst the pastoral birdcalls and wind rustling the leaves, the bass has retreated to a liminal throb, an ancient heartbeat its low tones giving a grounding to the natural sounds that move around our heads and open our eyes. We traverse the panorama .. #musicreview #rothko #bass #ambient t.ly/sJB2l

ICYMI: My thoughts on the sublime new album from Sienna Thornton for @freqzine.bsky.social ⤵️

The @jeanines-band.bsky.social and Lightheaded both happily lived up to expectations in Bristol a few days ago at @skepwax.bsky.social and @slumberlandrecords.com double-header, with fine balances of intricacy, melodicism and good humour.

My thoughts on a belated introduction to the wonderful world of @glenndonaldson.bsky.social's The Reds, Pinks & Purples for @freqzine.bsky.social...⤵️

Another electronic bundle from me just up on @freqzine.bsky.social...⤵️ Featuring things from the A&R houses of @castlesinspace.bsky.social and @ianboddy.bsky.social.

@michaelrodhamheaps.bsky.social @exchangebristol.bsky.social ..caught up in the muscled savagery of it all. That all-in passionate and sweat-drenched prism of sharded lyrics and tons of wah-waded and drone-coated interest.. this wedging might of double drums #melvins #reddkross #livemusic t.ly/i5HRK

Looking forward to catching a live @jeanines-band.bsky.social and Lightheaded double-bill this coming week in the UK, after their recent new LPs co-released on @skepwax.bsky.social and @slumberlandrecords.com. As reviewed previously by me for @freqzine.bsky.social here: freq.org.uk/reviews/jean...

It was a genuine pleasure to catch @gwennosaunders.bsky.social's in-store at Rough Trade Bristol earlier week, whose new album on @heavenlyrecordings.bsky.social is really stuffed with lush and imaginative ear worms. Just like this one... ⤵️ gwenno.bandcamp.com/track/the-de...

A stunning extract from Sienna Thornton's 'Birding Out' LP, to share ahead of my full review for @freqzine.bsky.social. ⤵️ siennathornton.bandcamp.com/track/after-...

There's a LOT to love about the psychedelic-pop debut LP from The Penrose Web (AKA @ianbutton.bsky.social and Allan Crockford) on @spinoutnuggets.bsky.social. RIYL: The Byrds, Syd-era Pink Floyd, Papernut Cambridge and Thee Oh Sees circa 'Putrifiers II'. thepenroseweb.bandcamp.com/album/the-le...

Thnx @acloudtotheback.bsky.social for this review in @freqzine.bsky.social "the results that are rather hard to pin down for points of obvious references, such is the bracing distinctiveness that Buckley displays with almost everything he sets his mind towards recently" freq.org.uk/reviews/june...

Ooh la! Thanks @freqzine.bsky.social & @acloudtotheback.bsky.social fir these lovely words on my album with @jolandamoletta.bsky.social on @quietdetails.bsky.social 🙏🏻❤️✨🌊🌊
