Idk when @ad93rec.bsky.social became a band label, but I’m 100% here for it. This Quade record is somehow both sweeping and understated all at once. quadebanduk.bandcamp.com/album/the-fo...

Everyone’s DJing wobbly distorted bass and I’m listening to drone metal and post-rock again, feels like 2009 rolled back around

I don’t ask for much, just a record store on the Iberian peninsula with a good mail order service that stocks the Thrill Jockey, Drag City, and Kranky catalogues.

Track of the year alert. SLIM0 decided to set Dido's Thank You to majestic drone metal. Moving, in a very particular strange way. Reminds me of Harvey Milk - that same mix of weird humour and bizarre sadness.

Few things I've been listening to these past weeks.
This Toma Kami mini album pulls the curtains back and lets the daylight stream in. Short, delicate sketches that float around your head for days, w/ nods to jungle, hyperpop and Fuck Buttons.
