As a reaction to AI music, will people respond to "authenticity"? Test for yourself with a lo-fi acoustic cover of "Tru Punk" by Ovlov, available on all platforms. All bum notes, weak vocals, mangled chords and other signs of human frailty are my own. #shoegaze open.spotify.com/album/49fYxB...

Are there any other Ovlov fans lurking on Blue Sky? If so, say hello and tell me your fave song of theirs. Mine is Tru Punk #shoegaze #indierock #ovlov

Happy 1st birthday to “Another Way”! A year ago, on June 6, 2024, Stubai’s debut #dreampop #shoegaze single was released to some very nice reviews: stubaimusic.com/music Check it out at your streaming service of choice! (link in bio)

It’s my birthday today! 🎂 🎉 No need to buy a gift - just listen to some Stubai on the platform of your choice (link in bio) 😀

And in breaking news from The Australian Financial Review …

If anyone is dealing with a parent who has #dementia, can I recommend a listen to the album “Certain Memories” by @assistantband.bsky.social Absolutely gorgeous and vulnerable #indiepop, with honest, heartfelt lyrics. It’s a real grower assistant.bandcamp.com/album/certai...

An instrumental version of Stubai's debut indie rock album “We Were Here” is now out on all streaming platforms. With the vocals removed, other elements – basslines, drumfills, countermelodies – have the space to reveal themselves. Click below to hear it on your streaming platform of choice 👇

So Stubai has just quietly released another instrumental track yesterday and I suppose it’s my duty as a reluctant PR/marketing drone to tell you about it. As you were. open.spotify.com/track/2JmI95...

Stoked to find Stubai’s “Golden Hour” sandwiched between Mogwai and Andy Bell of Ride, trip hop Diva Dot Allison and Michael Rother of Neu on @purplemac.bsky.social’s awesome New Indie Music playlist! 🙏🙌❤️ #indiemusic

Just for a bit of fun, Stubai will soon release an instrumental version of debut album "We Were Here" called "Were We Here?" on all the platforms. It's up on Bandcamp now, but if Spotify is your thing (boo, hiss) here's a sneak preview: open.spotify.com/track/3L6GLP... #dreampop #instrumental

If #puppies and #indierock both tick your boxes, you might like this silly music video for Stubai’s garage-pop furry ball of fun, “Little Laika”: youtu.be/nuixCC5oQpk?...

Thanks so much @purplemac.bsky.social for sharing the love 😍

Thanks for the review @rosyoverdrive.com! #swervedriver

Controversial opinion: I think Threads is better than Bluesky

So chuffed to get this lovely review of Stubai’s “Another Way” from @kindagrizzly Substack #dinosaurjr #smiths #jmascis

Excited for Stubai’s first appearance in a real-life, real-world fanzine! #fanzine #dreampop

The new Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” is getting plenty of hype, so here’s my pick of 5 albums by obscure artists that I’ve had on repeat this year. 👇🧵

Thrilled for "We Were Here" to be included on @assistantband.bsky.social's albums of the year list! And check out Assistant's new album "Certain Memories", full of fantastic heartfelt jangly goodness #albumsoftheyear

Listen to @assistantband.bsky.social - they know what time it is!

Out today: an instrumental version of Stubai’s debut album “We Were Here”, exclusively on Bandcamp. Instrumentals are awesome. With the vocals gone, you get to hear the bones of the tune – the bassline, the drum fills, the little sonic flourishes and decorative touches. #instrumental #indiemusic
