‼️ Amnesty's new research exposes the anti-trans movement. They have a plan - first they're coming for trans rights and then for women's rights. We'll only defeat them by coming together.

Every time I listen to Almost Waking, the new one from Fratti and Orcutt, I become so relaxed and quietly euphoric that I just fall asleep. Five stars tinangelrecords.bandcamp.com/album/almost...

My first monthly roundup of good experimental music releases is up over at goodexperimentalmusic.com. If you liked my Bandcamp Daily column, you will hopefully like this too! It's free for anyone to read so pass it around if you'd like. Thanks! www.goodexperimentalmusic.com/good-experim...

At the start of the month, I went to Wrexham to write about the rich tradition of Welsh Psychedelia; pastoral, bright, brilliant. From acid folk, to the Super Furries, to a thriving bunch of modern day scenes in every city. Read here! loudandquiet.substack.com/p/a-guide-to...

My favourite Aphex song. Pastoral and heavy www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yy-...

'We need to add 500 subscribers this spring – most importantly, to be able to remain stable, but also to then continue to expand our fight on behalf of human-made art and writing.' The Quietus Spring Sale is Here! Help us Fight the AI-pocalypse buff.ly/2lQYtLG

Jesus Christ; just came across this; that wraps up the album of the year chat a bit prematurely forbreakfast.bandcamp.com/album/longer...

A stain on English football. I think I am pretty much done with the sport, at this point.

Why did no one tell me Open C Minor Tuning sounded Like That

The Quietus is the best culture publication in the known universe; most of the revenue comes from loving subscribers; you should be one of them.

Obsessed with this very digital and obscenely fun groove rock band from Beijing. One of the best live bands I've seen in years, too kyoyoko.bandcamp.com/album/mirror...

Words on Symbols, the fantastic new album by the very wacky Belgian plunderphonic rock band Sergeant. Yessirski.

I've never heard Layla by Derek and the Dominos even though I've been aware of it for maybe 20 years ... I don't know if I have any intention to change this

Freakishly on the money again. Britain’s only good (non experimental music) columnist

At some point there needs to be a *proper* conversation about how cruelty has become a new normal for so many people. And we can't just keep putting it down to structures. Too many people with plenty of agency are actively choosing this.

I've had worse commissions, I guess

About to turn in some copy that has a 72 word sentence in. I swear it's not my fault.

Well good

Surely that has to be the last of VAR…?

This album just ages like fine wine to me. There is so much beauty. billryderjonesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/iechyd...

The best Kraftwerk record btw

Yes... HA HA HA.... YES! guttersnipe.bandcamp.com/album/extinc...

Rattled. Vote Green.

Only a couple listens in, but to me, this American Football album sounds pretty special

Worldie album

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

Lucy Liyou, mercurial experimental collagist, was a delight to interview. Her new album Mr Cobra is fantastic.

I sincerely hope this absolutely desperate play backfires. I hope people see through this awful, amoral man and his craven scraping of the barrel.

Sonemic Interview: Lucy Liyou @lucyliyou.bsky.social discusses her bold new record, 'Mr Cobra,' early love of classical piano, black MIDI, and Prokofiev in this interview with @calcash.in rateyourmusic.com/feature/sone...

You know what band is fully a psy-op? Bar Italia. You're all having me on with this one

Put together an album / collage of the guitar/zouk/etc demos that I will probably take no further. Hear here iiefactgtteoantfarmtetkog.bandcamp.com/album/it-is-...

This is fucking unreal

Somehow, they got even worse wulyf.bandcamp.com/album/a-wave...

'At times, the band sound like they could be Downtown NYC colleagues of ESG and Mars, whilst ‘Stay Rad’ and ‘Attach Bayonets’ sound like warped out-takes from Jim O’Rourke’s vocal albums.' Abigail Snail Interviewed buff.ly/B02MS01

#JustListened The new album by Kathryn Mohr is noisy, slightly chaotic and remarkably intimate in it's own way. This feels like you are sitting in someones head and getting bombarded with their thoughts and emotions, partly because of the mix that shoves everything to the front. Amazing stuff!

I spent a weekend in the company of the Baltics' punks, oddballs, and weirdos, and here's what I learned. If you ever get a chance to visit Estonia, it is beautiful and it sounds as good as it looks

Happy release day to the singularly talented Lucy Liyou. Straight up masterpiece in Mr Cobra lucyliyou.bandcamp.com/album/mr-cobra

From lap steels gaining sentience to a rethinking of the folk compilation, via wax cylinder kantele ghosts, the return of a dub-folk favourite and a confluence of ancient ceremonial song and left-field techno... Radical Traditional: #FolkMusic for Spring buff.ly/n0dzs6m

Now playing: Bill Orcutt's Music In Continuous Motion. billorcutt.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

First listen. I think I like (love) the idea of Ulver more than I like Ulver. Will be checking out at least four or five more of their albums, though, starting with the 90s stuff

It's kinda sick I get to just swan about talking to my favourite musicians. Marissa Nadler is amazing and so funny and so in love with creating art of all kinds. Read our conversation here

I have a weird feeling that 2026 is going to be the year I get really into metal. This absolutely got me in all the right ways oranssipazuzu.bandcamp.com/album/muunta...

Getting to grips with this album was terrific fun. I had no idea he'd have this maximal folk baroque opus in him. Full review here.

Back from Tallinn Music Week. One of my favourite cities in the world. Insane underground scene. Beautiful people. Dozens of great bands and less than 20 hours sleep in five days. Hell yeah

I love this so much
