Tulpa: Monster of The Week - album review
A band for the new generation. Midway between The Sunday and Pixies, Lush and Pavement - yet Tulpa sound only like Tulpa.

Thanks very much for this - the first BBC Radio play for European Sun, whose album comes out in January.
European Sun - with Steve Miles' name above the door - have a new release on Skepwax due in January.
When Britain Was Great, it's called. It has a bona fide epic called School Report. Seventeen minutes long. It could have been a mini series.
A sample of it is now on the Late Show.

@brianbilston.bsky.social and The Catenary Wires were an absolute joy of a live combination in Bristol yesterday. Two rich creative strands converging with wry playfulness and lateral imagination, for one grand night out.

Highlights from the Catenary Wires on Saturday were the gorgeous Things I Love, with its namecheck for The Fall and @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social’s vocal as beautifully, perfectly fragile and tremulous as I remember from that first gig at the Arnolfini back in 2014, and Mirrorball, surely the [1/4]
