Got a press release with a Getty photo in it this morning. Back in my day we called that entrapment

It's metal time! (guitar solo)

Begging people to stop comparing any vaguely noisy/proggy new band to This Heat. They never sound like This Heat.

The new Sandwell District album (their 1st in 15 years!) is a stellar techno album with a surprising emotional element. highly recommended! Wrote about it for @treblezine.bsky.social

This is an incisive review of @bambaranyc.bsky.social’s Birthmarks LP by @1000timesjeff.bsky.social on @treblezine.bsky.social that digs into his he album’s story arc.

Wrote about the new @bambaranyc.bsky.social record for @treblezine.bsky.social, which is gorgeously atmospheric in addition to being grim and unsettling

Wrote about the new Circuit des Yeux album, in which she embraces the darkwave artist within, for @treblezine.bsky.social It rules

ICMY: My latest Hall of Fame piece for @treblezine.bsky.social on Gang of Four's 11/10 first album

My least favorite thing about this site is "listen to my band" reply guys. I won't and I don't care.

Kinda can't believe it took me this long to write a long-read on Gang of Four's 'Entertainment!' but there's no better time than the present to revisit this one

Best New Releases this week: Jason Isbell, Bob Mould, Monde UFO, The Tubs, Lust for Youth & Croatian Amor, Kedr livanskiy, Staticlone, Kinski, and mssv www.treblezine.com/best-new-rel...

Wrote this a few years ago for the album's 20th anniversary. One of my all-time favorite records

Four ways that Roberta Flack expressed her creative versatility @padlife.bsky.social pays tribute www.treblezine.com/four-ways-ro...

'Magnolia Electric Co.' is music cultivated from a kind of psychic, instinctive performance rather than strict, disciplined preparation.

Second article of the day is my monthly metal roundup. This month is all about riff-driven annihilation. (And a mea culpa for not finding a better theme than "uh, here are some good albums") last month

Wrote about the new Monde UFO record, which blends all kinds of disparate sounds from psych-pop to bossa nova, krautrock and free jazz Fantastic stuff.

Where to start with the versatile jazz of Jeff Parker

New roundup of the week's best songs for you I wrote about the banger of a new Model/Actriz track

This week's Best New Releases: Panda Bear, Cloakroom, Darkside, Yves Jarvis, Ichiko Aoba, The Men, Grima, Vacuous and Year of the Cobra www.treblezine.com/best-new-rel...

I don't think Michael is on bsky, but he wrote about this gnarled monster of an avant garde death metal album. Good stuff

New Darkside album is loaded with bangers. I wrote about those bangers, for @treblezine.bsky.social

I always feel slightly insulted when Richmond doesn't get a show but North Carolina gets two

We've made it to 1300! A memory about finding a Pixies tape in a drawer, plus Elvis Costello dubs himself "Napoleon Dynamite," some burly metal records and more autobiographical-order.beehiiv.com/p/pixies-elv...

I've been a fan of Jeff Parker ever since discovering Tortoise back in the '90s, and he's done a LOT since then. I put together a beginner's guide to his music, from the post-rock stuff to the jazz stuff and other points in between

I wrote about the new Cloakroom album, which features some of their most diverse songwriting and affecting songs. A lot of what people are calling shoegaze these days doesn't really do it for me, but this band has once again created something special

Album of the Week: Yazz Ahmed's 'A Paradise in the Hold' spins a complex web of inspirations into a mesmerizing jazz epic
