Happy Birthday for yesterday!!

My wife edited an anthology of "Love Stories" a great mix of fantasy/horror tales. I had a small input to the cover design.

I’m really enjoying this album, it has a wonderful palette of sound. I love the slow build up rhythm on The weight of the world.

DAAM Digital: Inharmonic Convalescent, by Distant Animals 2 track album

Seriously, this is really good. If you like ambient/drone music, this is for you. If this had been released by Eno, or on Touch, everyone would be going wild.

Give it a listen, Give me £3. Support grassroots music.

Going to air my thoughts on this as it helps me think.

If your fav small labels / presses had a channel on a forum, alongside channels of loads of other labels/presses, would you hang there? place to find out about new releases and chat with like-minded folk? Why labels would you want to see there?

Always nice to get a parcel from @difficultart.bsky.social when you get back from holiday. Every track is worth a good listen, get one yourself here
