Made a new playlist for Bandcamp Friday of some favorites from Trouble in Mind who recently announced they were closing down. They will be MISSED!

The mighty @troubleinmind.bsky.social is shutting down operations so I spent some time writing about five of my favorite songs from their sprawling catalog of hits, as well as a few other assorted cool songs I listened to last month.

Sad to be informed by Nate on @wfmu.bsky.social that @troubleinmind.bsky.social ceased operations in Sept.
They were a nurturer, taste and scene maker who will be sorely missed. Really, a vanguard of and for interesting, new, cool American music.
Pour one out.

If your label is home to bands as amazing and varied as the Tubs, En Attendant Ana, the Serfs, FACS, Sunwatchers, Dummy, Nightshift, Martin Frawley, the Mountain Movers, etc. and you canβt make/have to shut down it really says something about how low weβve sunk as a culture. RIP Trouble in Mind.

Tombstone for Trouble in Mind.
My incredibly low opinion of the music industry was slightly parlayed by the continuing presence of great DIY labels like Trouble in Mind. Sad to see them go, but glad they fought the good fight as long as they could. Listening to the Jonas Reinhardt tape they released as I type this.

Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

The Tubs released a new LP, Cotton Crown, via @troubleinmind.bsky.social. Here is our review: "Stylistically, it pushes no boundaries; sonically, the band play it strong and straightforward. What could be viewed as a flaw is, in truth, an asset." www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/cott...
