Review | Agriculture - The Spiritual Sound by @teamhorse.bsky.social "The Spiritual Sound finds this most curious of bands push boundaries with vibrant ideas, a penchant for extreme noise and sublime melodies. Dig in." echoesanddust.com/2025/09/agri... @theflenser.bsky.social

Aerosmith and Yungblud ripping it up on this glorious tune. youtu.be/bTOWDRL1KbA?...

Review | Paradise Lost - Ascension by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Even after all these years Paradise Lost sound vital, and the playing and songwriting on this album shows a band still creating mighty fine metal." echoesanddust.com/2025/09/para... @nuclearblast.bsky.social

This is quite special. A bit of Rage Against The Machine and Colin Stetson style sax. youtu.be/jw6X2U2t0vI?...

Review | @ho99o9.bsky.social - Tomorrow We Escape by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Mixing up a multitude of styles and genres, this album is ten raucous blasts of punk n' rap n' metal, and one dreamy Chelsea Wolfe duet." echoesanddust.com/2025/09/ho99...

Review | @slomatics.bsky.social - Atomicult by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Atomicult is a no messin’ superheavy blast of big filthy riffs and quality tunes." echoesanddust.com/2025/09/slom... @majesticmountain.bsky.social

New Anna von Hausswolff, stunning. Cannot wait for the new album. youtu.be/HpMHH_W8G9s?...

Absolutely gutted at hearing the news about Brent Hinds. Him leaving Mastodon was already difficult to process. I've read a lot of harsh comments about Brent's ability, but this song is a powerful and brilliant piece, the guy was unique. Rest in peace Brent. youtu.be/tkgHapnwBs4?...

Review | @alisongoldfrapp.music-social.com - Flux by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Flux is another set of glorious pop songs to add to her wonderful back catalogue." echoesanddust.com/2025/08/alis...

I've also been listening to this album since I was 16, no other album had such a massive impact in terms of new sounds to my ears.

My latest review is the debut album from Lurgan metallers Machina Kore. It's an excelent album. Out today.

Introducing Bluesky to some music I created 16 years ago. Oddly, I find myself listening to music like this these days despite not having exposure to much noise rock when I made this. The video was created by Mr Tristan Crowe, who I have never actually met. youtu.be/GxKZjXlLGz8?...

Review | @rivalconsoles.bsky.social - Landscape From Memory by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Overall, Landscape From Memory is a lush sounding album carefully constructed and highly polished." echoesanddust.com/2025/07/riva... @erasedtapes.com

Review | underhand - scenes from wherever by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Settle back and let underhand work their magic on you. This is seriously good music." echoesanddust.com/2025/06/unde...

Review | Hiroe - Wield by @teamhorse.bsky.social "This is a confident and ultimately enjoyable album from a band to watch." echoesanddust.com/2025/06/hiro...

Review | @indifferentengine.bsky.social - Speculative Fiction by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Given the right breaks, this album could potentially have the same respect as Relationship of Command in future years. An excellent debut." echoesanddust.com/2025/05/indi...

Review | Genune - Infinite Presence by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Infinite Presence is certainly closely related to Sunbather, and I have absolutely no problem with that. Highly recommended." echoesanddust.com/2025/05/genu... @consouling.bsky.social

Review | @pelicansong.bsky.social - Flickering Resonance by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Growing old gracefully, Flickering Resonance finds Pelican revitalised yet not venturing too far away from their trademark sounds." echoesanddust.com/2025/05/peli...

CHAMPIONS!!!! #LFC #YNWA

Toby Manning revisits how Prince's oft-overlooked seventh album dared to draw on 60s psychedelia at the height of 80s hippyphobia – and how doing so produced the most countercultural sounding work of his career #Prince’s Around the World in a Day turns 40 today! buff.ly/YpflN2r

Review | Divide and Dissolve - Insatiable by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Insatiable is another defiant release from an exciting and talented artist." echoesanddust.com/2025/04/divi... @bellaunion.bsky.social

The new album from @sklossduo.bsky.social is absolutely superb. Heavy and sludgy and thunderous riffs and grooves. youtu.be/Wc2QfAelovI?...

Loving the new Lady Gaga album. It's great. youtu.be/D4Ggz6oShaI?...

Review | @bobmouldmusic.bsky.social - Here We Go Crazy by @teamhorse.bsky.social "Here We Go Crazy is coated in a wonderful veneer that shines up close to the punk/pop perfection of Copper Blue." echoesanddust.com/2025/03/bob-...

A gastric bug is working it's way through our house. Great night all round as the next door scumbags partied loudly until 5am. They'll be sick today, self-inflicted.

New mix of a classic Sly track. Pure unbridled joy. Having a bad day? Listen to this. youtu.be/zQ3760_YLcE?...

Some great blackgaze here from the Netherlands. noctambulistofficial.bandcamp.com/album/noctam...

Here's an album I originally released in 2006 as Foamboy. Dream pop bursting with inventive use of samples and glorious melodies. This is one of my favourite albums I released. thefoamboydeluxearkestra.bandcamp.com/album/johnny...
