Still getting reviews for the album; it's still sort of surreal to realize people are, y'know, listening? I spent so long sitting with this thing on my own that I literally forget that my music can exist in others' minds without me being physically present and awkwardly bugging them about it.

"Illusory Motion" by Elder from their EP, Gold and Silver Sessions. Unboxing this very pretty LP. #musicmarketingmakesmewanttodie #vinyl #asmr #asmrunboxing #unbox #unboxing #vinylrecords

Are there any comparisons of vinyl manufacturers for short runs/small-fry musicians out there? If not, I already have a spreadsheet going. Alternatively, give me all the links you've got for vinyl manufacturers with minimums ≤300 ... #vinyl #musicians #indie

@reverby.music makes legitimately wonderful #shoegaze #playlists, not just on #spotify but also have a really beautiful website. True believers, moving the genre forward.

Forged through profound personal loss and decades of creative persistence, Nothing Is Easy is @impulsenine.bsky.social ’s deeply emotional, genre-blending debut—music for your personal apocalypse www.lelahelmetal.net/2025/07/inte... #lelahelmetal #metalsky #impulsenine #newmusic

Record of the Week: Higher Higher, Burning Fire. If you ever find me purchasing a Theramin, this will be why. A delightfully weird record, something that slouched its way out of an 80s art film or a fever dream, and yet it exists. #albums #unboxing #theramin #newmusic #weird #instrumental #retrovibe

Lordy I do love some good post-rock. This is Buffalo from Chandler/Phoenix at Groundworks in Tucson

I've been pretty good about staying organized with all my old demos, and went back to the beginning to find this simple demo. Everything has to start somewhere.

20 days in, I could have shipped the CD to Guam, and had a decision sent back by letter @spotify

One day I'm going to make an album that's just pretty music that doesn't have emotional gut-punches behind every last aspect of its writing and/or track order, but THIS AIN'T IT 🫠 Also I was SO BAD in those basketball games OMG 💀 Album's out 8/1 i9.band/nothing yaaaaaay

Great review by Obscure Sound of the new album. It's strange feeling so completely confident in an album, but it's good to know that people whose opinions I respect agree. (SubmitHub curators' opinions, I presume, are still shit. I'm sparing myself that trouble this time.) @obscuresound.bsky.social

Record of the Week: Daggers by @dreamkid83.com Very happy to debut what is going to be a long-running series of posts. I've been recording my unboxings for literally years; I ordered this LP when it first came out. It's been so long there's another album coming out. Rewind. Play. Song: Chrissy

Just trying to get ahead of this before my album launches 8/1: i9.band/nothing

This is the origin of the song Heat, from my upcoming album, NOTHING IS EASY, out on Bandcamp Friday, August 1st and everywhere else August 8th. It involves BEARDS and DEATH. Links in bio, natch. #behindthemusic #songwriting #covidstories #marines #musictherapy

Happy Juneteenth. I don't have much to say other than to please take the reason for this day's existence into your heart. This is a clip of the original version inspired by the Floyd protests. It was eventually published as a more somber, introspective piece: i9.band/roses

Are there cool uses for genAI in art? In theory! Do I have any interest in finding them or seeing other people try to find them? Not at the moment! My decision to view all "AI art" as bad without reservation or qualification is a tactical one, to protect a thing I love from people trying to kill it.

My parents were vets; Dad a Vietnam Marine combat vet, Mom a Navy nurse who joined in the 1st Gulf War. It's easy to be cynical about the US military. It's not above criticism. But they took their oaths to the Constitution very seriously, and fought to make the things they could fairer and safer.

New music for @bandcamp.com Friday! With @brennamenz.com and Xenakis Minor,a cover of @bgreen.lol ... all proceeds go to the @aclu.org #newmusic #justice my best #u2 impression

Featuring @eleanorcollides.bsky.social @brennamenz.com @impulsenine.bsky.social @etheonel.bsky.social voidpiercer (& possibly @bretthiggins.bsky.social @seoulmetro.bsky.social???) Out 5/2, just in time for bandcamp friday.

There's a world in which social media primarily connects and inspires and I want to built it letter by letter

Cassandra ought to be the most popular name of 2026.

I make music. It's like Mogwai and Smashing Pumpkins and U2 made a baby genre together. Latest is here: i9.band/roses

For my fellow music nerds, the music theory in THESE RIOTS GROW ROSES isn't too wild, but it IS the result of the question, "I wonder if I can [XYZ] in a LoFi track without the vast majority of listeners noticing?" Keep an ear out for it 🎵 #newmusicfriday #cinematicmusic #postrock #lofi #downtempo

Indie Release Radar updated NOW Duration: 17 tracks, 57m New tracks from @etheonel.bsky.social @thefamilygrave.bsky.social @itsmaddiehanna.bsky.social @impulsenine.bsky.social @soorploom.bsky.social @bkfitzmusic.bsky.social @kristofhajos.bsky.social @novelley.bsky.social @daringcoyotes.bsky.social

Hi, I have a pretty chill little EP coming out, er, tomorrow. Somewhere between lofi and cinematic. A collaboration with @hackyandbird.bsky.social, with a 2nd track that with drummer Yahli Ambus. It's titled These Riots Grow Roses #newmusic #cinematicmusic #lofi #cinematicorchestra #zero7

"their breath-taking range stretches from a gentle fairy-tale lilt to a gut-wrenching roar." Hannah Boothby reviews Mogwai's album 'The Bad Fire', out now on Rock Action Records. @mogwai.scot @rockactionrecords.scot

Call of the Void may be instrumental, but it's about trying to cope with a constant blast of intentionally-terrible information meant to cause despair. But even though we know it wounds us, the Void calls. #postrock Listen here: i9.band/cotv

Call of the Void is now available to stream everywhere. It's a big bath of cleansing fire. Seventeen minutes of 40 bpm #postrock glory with influences from SunnO))) and @mogwai.scot (I should have your vinyl today 💙). i9.band/cotv

A #post-rock / #drone behemoth is headed your way.
