This is the last installment of Acid Test. Between here and FACT, I'm thankful to spend 10 years digging up hidden gems on Bandcamp every month. Thanks for reading, but more importantly, thanks for listening & supporting the many artists appearing in this column over the years❤️

@BongosUnlimited Nothing’s really changed, I’m still a freelancer. Bandcamp just isn’t renewing the column. Also, I’m always hoping you guys have a new album on the way 🤞👀

@MilesBowe Bummer. Where are you going?

Marcus Fjellström - "Last Draughts, Last Best Efforts XI." from "The Last Sunset of the Year" (Miasmah 2024) "It’s a beautiful final statement from a composer gone too soon and one of the very best albums of the year." - @MilesBowe / @Bandcamp marcusfjellstrm.bandcamp.com/album/the-last…

"With The Last Sunset of The Year, one of the finest scores of the century is available for the first time." - @MilesBowe / @Bandcamp 🙏 #marcusfjellström

@maxevry After finally watching Spookies last night, I spent most of the morning trying to track this piece down, thank you so much for archiving it 🙏 And truly the best possible news to find with it!

In 2014 I wrote the oral history of Spookies for The Dissolve which helped put a spotlight on the movie, so am THRILLED a meta sequel is in the works…
