Mostly posting music I'm listening to. Weighted towards heavy sounds. Open to recommendations. Love exploring and discovering new sounds.
We’re moving into Christmas beers. Just what M&S had to offer. Produced for them by Adnams, a Winter Ale. I’ll give it an ok, but I’m looking forward to the stouts/porters I picked up more.

Album number two was also a delight. Got an old school feel with enough psych in there to keep things interesting. Great stuff.

This was perfectly chill desert/stoner rock. A really satisfying listen. I could understand if you found it a little dull, but it suited me perfectly.

I liked the most recent Cult of Luna album so expected to like this. They’re performing it in full at #arctangent.

There was a moment in the first track where I wasn’t sure it was going to live up to the hype. But we got past that and this is solid, sludgy post metal.

Working through some more headliners for #arctangent. Chelsea Wolfe is one I want to see. This recent album of alternate folk/rock is very good. I could perhaps go for a slightly less cleanly produced sound but I’m being picky.

Saint Etienne on the radio this morning. Don’t think there’s a song that so instantly transports me back to my Uni years. Pure mid-90s pop.

Primus headline #Arctangent next year and I don't know that I've ever really heard them. Based on this album I'd be satisfied to leave it at that. A concept album with a concept I didn't much like.

A lot of this sounds liek I could have been listening back in the 80s/90s. New wave synth sounds with just enough of a post-punk feel to move beyond nostalgia.

Arctangent Headliners announced.

Conjurer and Cult of Luna standing out as they've been recent listens. But I'm there for as many bands as possible and I think it's the small acts that excite me most.
The wait is over! ArcTanGent 2026 headliners revealed:

🔥 PRIMUS (First UK show since 2017!)
🌑 CHELSEA WOLFE
🌊 CULT OF LUNA & JULIE CHRISTMAS (Exclusive 'Mariner' set!)

Also joining: SikTh, Napalm Death, High On Fire, Conjurer & more.

I like the band name. I like the noise rock, punk sound they make. Great little album.

And finally put on the new Chat Pile, in part to tick another off the #arctangent playlist. This collaboration with Pedigo is a much slower, softer experience then I’d expect from them. I liked it a lot.

And I’m not done. Really enjoyed the energy of Ira Glass. Post-hardcore, jazzy, noisy. All things I’m fond of.

A month late to it but the new Conjurer album is awesome. Heavy and sludgy with great post-metal elements too.

I found this album both a comfortingly retro sound and also a bit boring. I’m torn on it. It feels fully out of the 1960s but after a while it’s a little bland. Fine in small doses.

The new Ningen Isu album is pretty good. It’s a consistent, old school metal sound. None of the weirdness I normally go for, but there’s something about how rock solid their performance is that appeals.

And Conan were thunderous. Thumping kicks and low, grindy riffs.

It’s a gig night. On a boat. With the stickiest floors imaginable.

Tonight, Conan with a couple of supports. Looking forward to an evening of Doom.

Just time for one album today and a rerelease of this popped up in my new music feed. I loved FLY or DIE, not heard the second. Can’t fault Jaimie Branch’s jazz.

And finally, the best thing I heard today. Avant Rock. There's some volume and energy behind the tracks but the details remain clear. We're not straying far from krautrock here.

Moved on to some early Beak>. An album of Krautrock and Bristol place names. Felt pretty chill. Just drifting along on these intricate sounds.

Still got some more albums to mention.

Had a long wait in the car today and killed the battery listening to music. Luckily got it jump-started without much delay.

Seeing all the mentions of its 40th birthday I put on Psychocandy.

I think it would be fair to call this one of my formative albums. One of many bands introduced to me by my older brother returning from Uni for the holidays. Then played relentlessly on an nth generation cassette copy.
