Dancin' in the Streets is phenomenal. DDS067 was also very good.

Happy anniversary to the Max Headroom incident, the greatest example of signal hijacking.

Jesus christ, absolutely no stone left unturned in big tech's quest to turn your brain into quivering, listless pudding. Feel like I need to scream into a pillow, although the pillow probably has AI now and will recap my scream and play it back with annotated notes that are all wrong

On the first album under her given name, Ale Hope turns her language of vibrant electronics, electric guitar and Latin rhythms into a canvas for diaristic poetry and spoken word. One worthy of the "most personal album to date" moniker and one of my favourite reviews for @thequietus.com this year.

Roj Osa meets Rob Mazurek – Beton Kino | The Quietus Croatian brothers Alen and Nenad Sinkauz meet the Chicago cornet player for some interstellar sonics played live in brutalist venues

I rarely get to write about Croatian experimental music releases – because there are so few of them – so I'm extra happy when something as excellent as Rob Mazurek's encounter with Roj Osa (Alen & Nenad Sinkauz, Marco Quarantotto) comes along.

I reviewed their album π˜‰π˜¦π˜΅π˜°π˜― π˜’π˜ͺ𝘯𝘰 for @thequietus.com.

🎢 Brave Sir Robert ran away.
Bravely ran away, away!
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
Yes, brave Sir Robert turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat,
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robert! 🎢

Kitbashing, by ABADIR 7 track album

There ought to be more buzz around Abadir's new album π˜’π˜ͺ𝘡𝘣𝘒𝘴𝘩π˜ͺ𝘯𝘨. Social media soundbites, ads, and reels collaged into microcosms of semioblitz. Brutal, spastic, and weirdly comforting, all at the same time.

As the lede says, @jefftobias.bsky.social's new record on @repeatingcloud.com is a concentrated jolt of 'jazzy, proggy sunshine pop with a scathing take on contemporary US politics in its tail'. I reviewed it for @thequietus.com.
