Really enjoyed this conversation with Lesa!

Presently in my ears with an interview with Adam Morrow of @sisterraydavies.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/DKFM_Shoegaz...

A fine Saturday!

Andy Bell & Masal release a new album, ‘Common Primitives’, on October 9th. The second collaboration between the @rideox4official.bsky.social guitarist and the Essex-based harp and synth duo is a stunning, meditative collection which veers from kosmische to astral jazz by way of Turkish folk.

The SHOEGAZER World Cup sticker sets are here! Each set contains four stickers including a SHOEGAZER shiny, plus one for each of the host nations: 🇲🇽 Lorelle Meets the Obsolete 🇨🇦 @nojoy.bsky.social 🇺🇸 @sisterraydavies.bsky.social Grab them from our Bandcamp now: soniccathedral.bandcamp.com ⚽⚽⚽⚽

Representing the United States of America we have @sisterraydavies.bsky.social! Listen to them here: linktr.ee/sisterraydav... #antififa #panono #stickers #soniccathedral ⚽🇺🇸

I was driving tonight, listening to 92.9FM, a local low power station that only plays songs with a connection to the Shoals (a miracle in 2026!), when Joan Baez’ cover of “Before the Deluge” came on. not only did it really hit in the golden hour light, it sent me googling for more information…

We had a great time chatting with Jonathan Thornton for @outsideleft.bsky.social about Holy Island, the UK tour, new music, etc etc. Check it out! outsideleft.com/main.php?sto...

There's a great new interview with @sisterraydavies.bsky.social over on @outsideleft.bsky.social... Read below 👇 outsideleft.com/main.php?sto...

one of the spoils of the UK tour. big believer in all art finding us with some sort of ordained timing, but it’s wild to have just read Sinclair for the first time.

TOUR NEWS! @sisterraydavies.bsky.social will be joining the legendary Luna for several shows on their US tour later this year...

Real excited to share that we’ll be playing a run of shows supporting Luna this fall. their music was/is massively important to us, so this is a real treat. Even some shows closeish to home-hope to see yall out there!

Tape in action!

The Holy Island / Holy Island Baby cassette is out today on Bandcamp! The full LP + EP on one piece of old school media. Tape is a wonder. Fresh from tour to your door. Thanks to @soniccathedral.bsky.social and Well Kept Secret! Check it out! sisterraydavies.bandcamp.com/album/holy-i...

I’ve listened to this so many times this week. Possibly helps that I picked up LUD HEAT on tour and have been reading it for the first time. some synergies happening there.

The wait is over! After ten long years, the new album by The Early Years is out in the world. It’s a stunning record, and here are some other people who believe in ‘Modern Moonlight...

🌞 NEW RELEASE!!! 🌞 Pye Corner Audio (@headtech.bsky.social) has released a new single. ‘The Breath Of Now’ is out now on all digital platforms and features a spoken word monologue by celebrated Scottish crime writer @ianrankin1.bsky.social...

It’s been a blast having @sisterraydavies.bsky.social over for the past few weeks. Glad I managed to get this nice Ray-referencing photo before they departed. There’s some leftover tour T-shirts on @bandcamp.com and we will have the last few album/EP tapes at the Indie Label Market next weekend!

sitting at Heathrow, feeling very thankful for the last few weeks in the UK-especially to these dudes. We had an amazing tour, and continue to be very grateful for the chance to meet excellent folks and play music. Thanks to everyone who came out. We’ll be back soon! @soniccathedral.bsky.social

T-shirts from tour are up on Bandcamp now just in time for Bandcamp Friday! It’s the first time the Holy Island tee has been available with UK shipping…snag them here: sisterraydavies.bandcamp.com/merch

Day off on tour, back to the source with @sisterraydavies.bsky.social 😍

Sister Ray Davies sounded great tonight, my photo taking less so. Todd’s in Tod @sisterraydavies.bsky.social

Incredible opening night of tour in Nottingham! Thanks to everyone who came out. On to Coventry and Just Dropped In this evening

Here’s @sisterraydavies.bsky.social recording the version of ‘Big Ships’ from their EP, ‘Holy Island Baby’. The Alabama duo were joined in Portside Sound (the old Muscle Shoals Sound Studio B) by the Guitar Armada – nine acoustic guitar players and a pianist – and recorded the results live to tape.

also a big thanks to Boards of Canada for waiting until day 1 of our first UK tour to release new music, a truly gracious gesture to give us a fresh driving soundtrack

Holy Island Baby is out in the world today! & we start our UK tour tonight in Nottingham at Billy Bootleggers. What a day. Thanks to @soniccathedral.bsky.social and Well Kept Secret for making it happen, and to Pye Corner Audio and Malaphors for their amazing work. Listen: linktr.ee/sisterraydav...

‘Holy Island Baby’ – the new EP by @sisterraydavies.bsky.social – is out today. Five new versions of tracks from last year’s debut album ‘Holy Island’, including two remixes by Pye Corner Audio, one by Malaphors and two reworkings by the band themselves, including the recent single ‘Iona’...

These rather lovely and ridiculously limited tapes combine the @sisterraydavies.bsky.social album ‘Holy Island’ with the new EP ‘Holy Island Baby’ and their debut single ‘War Machine’...

I got the @sisterraydavies.bsky.social remixes 10” and it came with a Florida style “Greetings from Holy Island” postcard 😂

getting the pedalboard ready for air travel and poring over Strava heat maps for various cities across the UK. nearly time for tour!

North American preorders for the Holy Island Baby EP are getting packed and shipped from Well Kept Secret HQ in New Orleans-snag one on Bandcamp! Officially out on April 17, look for it on streaming & in record stores that day. UK orders ship next week! sisterraydavies.bandcamp.com/album/holy-i...

our first ever UK tour kicks off two weeks from today in Nottingham and we can’t wait. it’s a dream to take Holy Island on the road, despite the world being a damn mess…thank god for music and community. grab a ticket here if you’re able, and we’ll see y’all at the show! linktr.ee/sisterraydav...

This is soundtracking my bike ride to the football and is already costing me a few bob...

we made a mix for Ransom Note. we are in no way qualified to DJ anything or contribute to that mighty website and its collection of mixes, but we went for it and would love for you to listen-lots of friends and heroes! www.theransomnote.com/music/mixes/...

do we have any Northumbrian friends here with knowledge on where to stay on Lindisfarne itself? eyeing a single night there while we’re over for tour, and all of the bookings seem to want a multi-day rental (understandably!), but thought we’d poll the folks who’d know just in case

🌞 NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT! 🌞 Pye Corner Audio releases ‘More Songs About The Sun’ on June 19. It’s his second studio album for Sonic Cathedral and a sequel of sorts to 2022’s acclaimed ‘Let’s Emerge!’. Pre-order here: linktr.ee/moresongsabo...

thinking of making Holy Island just about two years ago exactly, as the winter started its turn to spring. it kind of just appeared over two weeks on days like this, with their innate magic. may the sky be open for us all

Joining the BlueSky world just in time to post about our upcoming UK tour. Ready to engage in some nonsense here, eager to take Holy Island on the road!

The new Sister Ray Davies single ‘Iona’ is out now via Sonic Cathedral and Well Kept Secret. The new Portside Dub version is taken from the Muscle Shoals duo’s forthcoming EP, ‘Holy Island Baby’, which is released on April 17 to coincide with their first ever UK tour...
