Reminded that Myra Melford Splash only came out this March; really need to revisit that again 😁

But here's a couple of great #2025Albums I did return to today:

Francesa O: Cortado (Nyahh)

Sylvie Courvoisier & Mary Halvorson: Bone Bells (Pyroclastic)

History Dog: Root Systems

Caned this over the summer; returning now it seems even more evocative, singular & magical. An improvisers' quartet rooted in jazz, delving into the electroacoustic avant-garde & hallucinogenic dreamscapes 💯

Picture of the staff who operate this Bluesky account
An old black & white photograph of what appears to be an early/mid 20th century English folk ceremony gathering. There are about a dozen people standing together facing the camera, the vast majority wearing what appear to be large papier mache heads, many of which are animals; the human heads are exaggerated & grotesque. One woman/girl is dressed as an early Mickey Mouse (or is it Biffo the Bear?) No idea where I stumbled across this, when and by whom it was taken, or why it's in my camera roll 😁

Peanuts cartoon by Schulz. Charlie Brown & Lucy are standing next to Snoopy's kennel from which music is audible. Charlie Brown is saying "he just sits in there and listens to his records.."

First full listen thru to this today and not only is it full of individual mind-melting magic & mayhem, it also hangs together superbly as a coherent whole. Highly recommended 💯

Pat Thomas has been involved in so many #2025Albums he could almost have his own personal top 10! The captivating 'Wadud/Most Loving', a dynamic & dissonant 30min solo piano performance from 2023 via @nyahhrecords.bsky.social, is proper next level gear...

Released CHORUS on Friday. A dreamlike sequence of seven softly-spoken instrumentals held together by bird song and radio noise. I've got one tape left.

If you've got any Bandcamp Friday bunce left over after copping the Los Thuthanaka album, consider my own wares! If you've enjoyed my music lately, supporting on Bandcamp genuinely helps me keep making it around the day job. Most albums are pay-what-you-want. I pray you want. maxtundra.bandcamp.com

Maybe it's indicative of the esteem that early Sonic Youth is now universally held in but must admit surprise the new EarthBall made #2 on the quietus AOTY list. It's a really great record from a top band, mind, just didn't foresee that level of acclaim!
