Their debut was amazing, looking forward to checking these ones out.

No doubt Steve Clarke will be along shortly to give Steve Clarke full praise for it.

"Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio" is another classic. Along with "We can see you sneaking out".

Review | Through A Glass, Darkly - SPERAMVS MELIORA // RESVRGET CINERIBVS by @garydavidson.bsky.social

"For those in the realms of post-rock, ambient and doomgaze this is going to be one of the best to drop this year."

Beer and weapons! Let the revolution begin.

It is funny how it ebbs and flows. So much great Yorkshire sludge in the last 20 years.

Train from Charing cross goes to Edinburgh, a park and ride on that route somewhere near Edinburgh perhaps?

It seems likely, despite the deluge of new music worth everyone's attention, that I might be taking a rare weekend off. But be that as it may, you HAVE to listen to the new release from Lucerne Hammer. You must. Perfect.

I am not in a band but these guys are most certainly disgustingly delightful: wearestillaband.bandcamp.com/album/a-theft

There were moments on the last Agriculture album where it lost me a bit but The Spiritual Sound has nothing I don't absolutely adore.

An incredible album: agriculturemusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp...
