The New Pollution, by Spoon Hammer track by Spoon Hammer

Since I've been doing some practice and experimenting with mixing techniques in the last few weeks, I've reposted this song on Bandcamp which now sounds a heck of a lot better sonically.

Happy B-day, Adrienne. This one is about you.

It's progress, for sure. Just a whole lot of a new skill set to get better at.

I've spent more time mixing this song than I did playing/singing/recording/editing/fixing the damn thing.

But I did learn a whole bunch of new mixing techniques, so it's all good.

Appropos of nothing, it seemed prudent to re-post this today of all days. #BandcampFridays

Check out the first song from my 'Than to Curse the Darkness' album called 'Blue Sky'. Went for a Morricone inspired vibe on this one.

Done!
Of course the first album I listen to is an acoustic one! πŸ˜†
This is very good; stylistically I'd say it's a kind of gothic Folk. Lyrics would work in Black or DoomMetal as well. Very mellow and relaxed atmosphere.

Highly, highly recommended!

Good job @spoonhammer.bsky.social! πŸ‘

Thanks for the kind words. The industiral and alt-metal tags are from my previous album from 2 years ago, but I can't figure out how to change that.

Gothic folk -- I like that. Probably from my Opeth and Chelsea Wolfe listening over the years.

This is out tomorrow (29th) on streaming. It may be on Bandcamp earlier (hint, hint).

I suck. Didn't notice the typo on the date which should be 'Friday, August 29th', which would be obvious to anyone with a calendar.

Spoon Hammer is going to be on the Indie Juke Box on Radio Wigwam this week (Monday on this side of the Atlantic; Tuesday on the other side). radiowigwam.co.uk/listen-live/

You can preview the 'single' "Blue Sky", which has nothing to do with this site.

A flicker of light in the shadows.

A flicker of light in the shadows.

This Friday, August 25th will see the release of 'Than To Curse the Darkness' by Spoon Hammer on Bandcamp and streaming.

The material aims to shine a light in these times of darkness. Aww, who am I kidding? Most of the songs are pretty dour, just like I meant them to be. Please enjoy my misery.

In two weeks, Spoon Hammer's 'Than To Curse the Darkness' will be released.

A collection of 11 'acoustic' based songs, which is the polar opposite of the the first Spoon Hammer album from 2023 which was mostly industrial/metal/noise.

Looks like my 'acoustic' album will be out end of August. Tracks are completed and I have cover artwork.

I'd slip it out before then, but I have a vacation coming.

Soundcloud was useful at the start of social media, but now there's Bandcamp and it's possible to get music on streaming sites.

Well, I think I'm about ready to put a wrap on the 'acoustic' EP that I've been working on since September. 11 songs completed, so it's no longer an EP 🀣.

Just need to add bass to one track and then I can look at releasing it soon.

If only there was someone that enjoyed doing these things for free. We could be best friends.

It seems that about 70% of my recording time is spent cleaning up tracks, fixing timing and comping.

On the demo of Puppets, they go back to the intro riff at the end, but it sounds lame so they did the right thing.

In honour of the new pope, here's a song I wrote about the Catholic clergy.

Spoon Hammer is on the Mindfunk Tribute album. It's pretty good, actually.

Out today -- Spoon Hammer's cover of Mindfunk's Closer as I pay tribute to one of my favourite albums from the '90s that very few people have actually heard.
