💩 By total serendipity, Talking with Hand and Telefone both had "shit" songs nearing completion at the same time. It was obvious forces must be combined! The Shit is a split EP from both bands featuring 2 songs each; four songs that will get you moving. Very happy with how this one turned out.

One of many very mesmerizing shots from the new Telefone video for “ESP.” The early days of skateboarding really were a special time! Watch it youtu.be/hb4BsggloWE?...

#JustListened Anyone looking for some crunchy and fun Rock? Here your go! Highly recommended! ampwall.com/a/ykrecords/...

🌳 New TOWER DEFENSE! "Fit for Purpose" is a blast about land commodification. Who needs all these damn parking lots?! "Artless Hands" is companion about the profiteers coming for music. Inspired, in part, by @thecroftonshow.bsky.social, Christina Aguilera & Converge. ykrecords.com/releases/fit...

June 5, 2026 - New Music from Tower Defense Stay Tuned

Bleary is celebrating their new album LITTLE BRAIN tonight here in Nashville. It's going to be a blast. To celebrate it here on the Internet, here's a download link good for today only (Thursday) for the whole record. ykrecords.ampwall.com/lfg/SJDW9G0NA

Do people know "Dare to be Stupid" is still *very* good?

Always been a fan of these Acme Radio Live sessions, so it is truly delightful to see Bleary performing one. Here's a clip of "foyer"

Waning crescent reminder that I have a new EP out. Get it on Bandcamp or stream it everywhere except Spotify! generaltrust.bandcamp.com/album/plans-2

After six years of demos, detours and obsessive layering, the debut full-length album from BLEARY has arrived. `Little Brain` is 11 tracks of dense, harmony-drenched, shoegaze with plenty of hooks through a heart-heavy wall of sound. It's available everywhere right now. Get it in your ears!

We're one day away from Little Brain emerging into the world. The full-length debut from Bleary is very good! I am biased but it's really stellar. Here's a little taste of "925"

“Voyager Signal” is out on all platforms now. From the Infinite Limb album, Seeds for Cosmic Radio. You can hear the whole album on Ampwall & Bandcamp (and you should) but now two songs are also streaming.

This is "foyer" - the third single from Bleary's forthcoming full-length album, Little Brain. Album is out *this Friday,* May 15th.

Little Brain, the debut full-length album from Bleary is headed your way this Friday, May 15th. Here's a little taste with "bug"

The full-length debut from Bleary is out this Friday! Here’s a touch of “sugar splint” from Little Brain…

Bandcamp Friday is always a whirlwind of music to check out. I have several releases that I want people to hear but ALSO want to shine a light on other people's work. Going to spin up a Bandcamp Friday playlist of suggestions - some YK, many NOT. www.buymusic.club/list/ykrecor...

"Mitosis Bloom" from Infinite Limb a handmade visualization evoking the microcellular and the interstellar.

Excited to share that INFINITE LIMB has joined roster and we've uneleashed this new album, Seeds for Cosmic Radio. It's a journey from the soil to the stars! Best listened to start to finish, especially if you're a fan of an enjoyable electronic atmosphere. ykrecords.com/releases/see...

New episode of YK WORLD out now. It’s three quick bites and one fast casual entree of information. My best metaphor work? MAYBE! It’s in your app now! www.ykworld.show/episodes/qui...

Please welcome Infinite Limb to the YK roster. New album of immersive electronic works headed your way this month. infinitelimb.com

💙💙💙

Thursday, April 9th. 5pm - 7pm. Having a friendly hang at Vinyl Tap in Nashville. Not a show but friendly faces celebrating 20+ years of a great album, a great band and a new 2xLP.

I have mixed feels about Substack but very clear adoration for Ryan Norris (aka Coupler) Fantastic piece here about the creative act of negation.. editing.. This, Not That. open.substack.com/pub/couplerm...

The Features started playing "God Save Rock n' Roll" as far back as 2000. It was recorded in 2003 but never released... until today! 26 years in the making and it's still an absolute banger. I'm so happy to play a small part in getting it out into the world, finally and officially.

Tomorrow. A long awaited treat.

Found myself revisiting this YK release from 2015 a lot recently. It's instrumental and ambient but never background music. It's psychedelic, floaty and feels like zooming around the atmosphere. I'm biased but it's great. Finally put it on Ampwall! ampwall.com/a/ykrecords/...

Good April's Fool for vinyl nerds mailchi.mp/gottagroover... The Gotta Groove 350 gram Advanced Audiophile™ Pressing

From 2009-2010 there was an in-studio performance series called the Lake Fever Sessions. The website died a decade ago but I recently revived it! Make my domain registration worthwhile, go spend some time on the site: lakefeversessionsarchive.com

Feels great to see folks still discovering this record 17 years later. Thanks, Ampwall!

🍰 YK-001 was released March 10, 2009 - that's today! Happy birthday to Uncle Skeleton's PANCHO CHUMLEY. Very grateful to Ross for the opportunity to release music and grateful to anyone that has paid attention the last 17 years.

Brought into existence by notes from a toy piano and with a title referring to the term for a *genuine* smile, the soaring synth pop of "A Duchenne smile" by Fetching Pails is today's #MirloMondays discovery. 🐦‍⬛ Out now via the consistently great @ykrecords.bsky.social. mirlo.space/fetching-pai...

Back in 2019, Bleary recorded a Q Session with Monkey Riot Recordings for "bug." It's a damn good performance. Full performance on YouTube, first 3 minutes below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT9X...

Oooo, @ampwall.com as an iOS app now. Very handy for listening to my purchases but really nice for discovery. Consistently impressed with how much this team ships. apps.apple.com/us/app/ampwa...

Being a music fan takes work in 2026! It’s enjoyable work but still just a bit of effort.

I stand by this! Metrics can be insightful but they shouldn’t carry as much weight as they do. Success is not determined solely by some analytics.

👋 an interview… with me! Go listen already!

New single from Bleary out today! "bug" is streaming everywhere and if you like a little shoegaze mixed with harmonies and melancholy, you're gonna love it. In celebration, let's try out this @ampwall.com feature to giveaway some downloads of it: ykrecords.ampwall.com/lfg/M9AD1HYJR

Was invited to be a guest on a podcast I already independently enjoyed! Flattered. Out now everywhere linktr.ee/majorlabelde...

Upgraded @ampwall.com embed looking nice on the new Fetching Pails single "A Duchenne Smile" and Bleary's "sugar splint"! ampwall.com/u/ykrecords/...

Fetching Pails unveils "A Duchenne Smile" - a brand new track + video available everywhere today!

Happy 15TH birthday to 'Green Machinery,' the debut full-length from And The Relatives. Back in 2009, I was enamored with the band's Animals EP and was flattered to work with them on the followup in 2010. A damn good record. ykrecords.com/releases/gre...
