Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals - A City Drowned In God's Black Tears theneedledrop.com/album-reviews/…

incredible, first ever reissue of the final release from iconic outsider label DD. Records, one of Japan's most prophetic, quietly influential DIY imprints, releasing 222 tapes thru the early 80’s in tiny, tiny editions, mad special this one bit.ly/3RIsvm4

@misterminsoo I remember seeing them live back during all the 'hype' for work. It wasn't great at all. Also some of their fanbase were quite obnoxious (at least where I was standing).

That WU LYF album was so bad. 3rd-wave post-rock guitars and the occasional organ announcing unearned grandiosity, shouted vocals meant to stand in for emotion. Extremely drab music that elder millennial indie rock fans inexplicably loved.

Named for the rural French castle tower in which it was recorded, Hekla's Turnar straddles ancient and hypermodern sounds pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

PRE-ORDER: 'Disk Musik: A DD. Records Compilation' by Various Phantom Limb raid the vast archives of the cult Japanese label known for their minimal synth, electronic, ambient, and minimal wave output. normanrecords.com/records/208053…

WaqWaq Kingdom might well be one of the most incredible and underrated music projects I know. Here are four stills from this absolutely gorgeous video featuring Riko Sugama - a traditional Ryūkyū dancer originally from Okinawa, shot by my friend Hiroo Tanaka! youtube.com/watch?v=0-8v4X…

@misterminsoo Ahh just sent you an email about three albums coming out then that I'm involved in

any pr folks know of any experimental albums coming out in march/april... would love to write about your album for [magazine]. having to pitch an album review this far in advance is also insane btw lol, but so it goes.

Digging the new @cloth_band track. Heard it played on 6 Music by @djdebgrant this week and I can't get it out of my head, it's a bop youtube.com/watch?v=3Wz4pM…

Dropped today on @phntmlimb (Gotta say im very proud of it, a strong extension of 'DIsconnect') : phantomlimblabel.bandcamp.com/album/othernes… Kevin Richard Martin / KMRU - Otherness @joseph_kamaru : “It extends the album into spaces of the unknown while remaining opaque…"

It's that time of year again when @hhvrecords asks me to pick my ten fav records from this year. Featuring @gurriersband @nourishedbytime @seefeel_signals Astrid Sonne, Moin and more 🌞 hhv.de/en/records/cha…
