Give me a Bandcamp release that is digital-only but absolutely begs for a physical. Preferably something electronic/ambient/drone/avant, but I'm open to other genres too.

Was looking at lists of the most streamed songs across different platforms.
Spotify and Apple Music's top songs were almost identical while YouTube had only 1 of the same songs on it.
I wonder if it's the reco algorithm or the demo that's driving the difference.

Here’s a moog and mellotron centered kosmische Christmas album that dropped last week.
"Sleigh Ride" translates nicely into a mellow-moog adventure. Mort Garson-adjacent holiday classics.

An extremely funky Italian cover of the classic Spencer Davis tune. I originally heard this on a Phase 6 compilation maybe 10-15 years ago. Uptempo breaker.

Supporting Real Human Culture Is A Form of Resistance 🙏🏼✌🏼🫡
1. Shout out to @listeninghabit.bsky.social for creating a Bandcamp playlist, where you can actually support these artists
2. Him hyping DeRobert & the Half Truths the other week already caused me to do a GEDSoul order.

Reading through Pinterest's trends report for 2026, I think it's a good sign that cabbage and brooches are happening next year, along with some look from every decade of the last 150 years, and fragrance maxxing. It’s all happening.

One of my favorite weekly joys (when I get the time) is waking up to a Listening Habit newsletter on Saturday morning. If you enjoy finding new-to-you music, this is a great place to start. There's always a little something for everyone.
