What are DMS sending us now?

Really enjoying this new @audioobscura.bsky.social album. The word has had all meaning Boomkat-ed out of it, but it is genuinely hypnagogic in its flow. Beautiful artwork, too.

By the way if any artists who follow me are on Subvert let me know. Already seen that @robertdallasgray.com and @theleaflibrary.bsky.social are on there.

anewlinerelated.bandcamp.com/album/17-06-... 3 long tracks recorded live through 7 Walkmans with live dubs from Craig Tattersall. Set as pay what you want at checkout hopefully. 1 RT = 1 Praise Jah as usual.

Hey friends, still time to get your annotated music equipment pics in - it's shaping up really nicely as an A5 booklet. Best to email them if poss (drop me a line for the address).

All of our studio albums are now on @subvert.fm (with a 𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎 healthy member discount): www.subvert.fm/the-leaf-lib... Will continue adding older releases on there, as well as any imminent new ones 👀...

Stereolab Night went well despite the typhoon and took in some great ‘Lab-sympathetic groops.

Wow, that is one *serious* mountain of sausage rolls. Good thing I bought my

Enjoying this very fun, thoroughly gloopy new one from Nick @thirdkindrecords.bsky.social and Fisty Kendal: thirdkindrecords.bandcamp.com/album/now-what

Four Woodwinds And A Flugelhorn

Britain is more than halfway towards reaching Net Zero. Most people don't realise this, not least as the fossil-fuel fanatics want us to think achieving it is impossible. Via YouGov

We’ve got a new album coming out! It’s called ‘International Dust’. Nine shiny new songs from this DIY enterprise and some excellent album art from Suzi Corker and Laura Copsey too. Mixed/mastered by James Trevascus (Portishead, PJ Harvey, Young Fathers) firestations.bandcamp.com/album/intern...

Our friends (and frequent co-performers) @firestations.bsky.social have a new album due: firestations.bandcamp.com/album/intern... Something tells me* it's going to be great. *I've heard it

Now playing: this excellent record by The Leaf Library. shop.fikarecordings.com/album/after-...

It's too hot, so in completely unrelated news, all my albums are now pay what you want for the next few days: worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com

might not be solstice anymore but it's still hot af and the day is long. cool down with Whin's homage to the light https://whin.bandcamp.com/track/solstice

Remember him this way *forces out a tear*

"Look at what we've achieved in two years" Yeah, genocide, race riots, trans people afraid to leave their homes, a massive increase in foodbanks and people being jailed for crimes they haven't even been charged with. What a legacy, you rabid cunt.

It's so cool that you can oversee one of the biggest rollbacks of LGBT rights in recent memory and UK journos will still call you a 'decent man' because trans people don't poll well enough

Now playing: After The Rain, Strange Seeds by The Leaf Library. shop.fikarecordings.com/album/after-...

I’ve seen this do the rounds - I didn’t realise she was ejected *by the patrons, who then cheered as she left*. Entirely better than I’d realised.

Remember, only person ever, from any party, to privatise an NHS hospital.

We're now up and running on @subvert.fm! www.subvert.fm/the-leaf-lib...

Reminded this morning of the music we made for @citiesandmemory.bsky.social - what is essentially a dub techno track (+ versions) built entirely from recordings of the glass factory in Murano, Venice. It's a bit of an outlier in our catalogue! theleaflibrary.bandcamp.com/album/glass-...

Niche publication idea on one of my favourite aspects of band life - a small fanzine of DIY signage on instruments/pedals/mixers etc (examples below). Stickers, sharpie, gaffer, whatever - would be great to collect as many as possible. DM here (or get in touch for email address). Send away!

I feel so lucky to be able to share extra insights into the new music I believe to be noteworthy and worthy of your attention. Thank you @theleaflibrary.bsky.social for playing along! open.substack.com/pub/courtesy...

Today's random Discogs choice The Leaf Library and The Long Dead King EP CIS subscription library 2025. One of those rare CIS releases with vocals 🤣. A little a bit folky along side some cool instruments (harpsichord) but absolutely charming. Favourite track The Long Dead King.

Ahead of their new album, The Hanging Stars frontman Richard Olson pulls out all the stops for his Off the Shelf, gathering ten cherished objects —Revealing, moving and humorous, it ranks among the series’ very best, laying bare an intense passion for music. klofmag.com/2026/06/off-...

"Hockney is believed to have turned down a knighthood on several occasions and once declined an invitation to paint a portrait of the Queen." Good lad.

Having a great time this afternoon with the latest from @theleaflibrary.bsky.social: fikarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/after-...

1/2 way through the year, so here are some other albums you can write an angry letter to the Guardian about: worriedaboutsatan - No Knock, No Doorbell Seefeel - Sol.Hz Bill Orcutt - Music In Continuous Motion Kristen Gallerneaux - Life Day Polypores - Wrigglers The Notwist - News From Planet Zombie

After an hour walking along traffic-loaded westernTokyo thoroughfares listening to harsh, distorted Kyushu post-punk, this turn takes me down along a suburban river and I have to switch over to The Leaf Library: fikarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/after-...

This album by @theleaflibrary.bsky.social is absolutely irresistible btw

We played a stripped down set on the @resonancefm.bsky.social Hello Goodbye Show the other week. Three songs from the new album, starting here around 44 mins in: www.mixcloud.com/Resonance/th... @mapref.bsky.social came dressed as Barney from that summery New Order radio session.

Thanks to a chat about Quickspace (it's Chin from the band on drums here), I'm listening again to this live improv we did years back. Best version we've done, I think: theleaflibrary.bandcamp.com/album/lines-... Feat. @firestations.bsky.social, @bitcloudy.bsky.social, @thenamelessbook.bsky.social

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

Sad news about Marjane Satrapi.

Some words from us here on the ups and downs of making a record.

After @theendlesshum.bsky.social reminded me about the American Analog Set yesterday, you forget how many bangers they had in that early 00s run. Start the day with this one and go from there, is what I'd say: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNof...

May listening. Carried on my Leaf Library rabbit hole, saw Dove Ellis and been enjoying the new AZ Record. Spent a lot of time trying to find modern authentic blues records - Cedric Burnside, Jontavious Willis and Buffalo Nichols are top recommendations for anyone looking too.

Wonderful review here, in Japanese and English, of our new album. Supremely moved. It’s like someone is looking into parts of my brain that even I can’t see…
