We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

THE HUMAN LEAGUE

Wanted to buy everything. Realised I don't have all the money. Settled on The Leaf Library and WU LYF CDs yesterday for #bandcampfriday

That'll make it three Scottish albums from us for the year already - here's your reminder to pick up January's new LP from @thejustjoans.bsky.social: Romantic Visions Of Scotland. Still some copies of @theleaflibrary.bsky.social's new one After The Rain, Strange Seeds, available on LP/CD too!

April listening. A deary dominated month after releasing what's probably going to be my AOTY. Rest of the month spent listening a lot to recommendations from BlueSky people - Suitor, Leaf Library, Andrew Ramsey. And obviously, RIP Whitelands.

“We made a deliberate decision not to include any synth drones or layers, and to stick to instrumentation that was playable in a room." An interview with @theleaflibrary.bsky.social. 'After the Rain, Strange Seeds', is out now via @fikarecordings.com. sun-13.com/2026/05/01/t...

It's Bandcamp Friday, so that means it's time to jolly you all along into checking out or refreshing yourselves on our recent releases. Miu Mau make beautiful avant-pop/new wave with a sharp, glacial edge. London's The Leaf Library are on remix duty: call-and-response.bandcamp.com/album/motif-21

Crazy people, crazy deal

#ScavengerHunt2 Something metallic. The Leaf Library - The World Is A Bell

Excellent new single from our keyboardist Irina, out today: squarethecircle1.bandcamp.com/track/quarte...

Thoroughly enjoying this Iron Maiden song that could just as easily be an ABBA one: youtu.be/J435xmY4oQI?...

Playing some post Shake The High Road festival records at Wood Street Bear in Walthamstow this bank holiday. Free!

I mean, if I were to remove any letter from that shop title, it probably wouldn't be that one

The only two records you'll ever need. (from our friend Mark in Japan)

Points applied to Jimmy I for cottoning on to what everyone around here has been saying for a while (make a community). Points immediately rescinded for calling it an 'ATM machine'.
