Scolpaig is a site-specific exploration of the island of North Uist, in the Outer Hebrides. Here, there are plans to build a sub-orbital commercial space port, threatening the isolated vistas of the areas natural beauty: difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/spaceport-one

Even if this sold all 100 copies, it would still be crime that so many people will overlook these awesome, awesome tracks. So proud of all the artists involved - the quality is outstanding. difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-only...

DAAM has hit 80,000 plays on #bandcamp! Despite never being profiled on BC, despite receiving almost no reviews for our releases and radio play from just a handful of (lovely) places; despite Brexit, despite EU regs; despite no local network; despite never being as cool as our peers...

Have you heard our 2025 releases yet? Limited edition album from @tonaldrift.com available on CD or download. Singles from @ageofinfernal.bsky.social and @john-serrano.bsky.social for download. monochromemotif.bandcamp.com/music

Some great works on this album. #experimentalmusic

For the evening crowd: a compilation of electro-acoustic, post-classical, experimental electronic and drone music. An international roster of artists working at the top of their game. Vinyl / Cd / Art book difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-only...

Hey, friends. Money is tight right now. I'm not quite sure I can actually pay for the oil I have being delivered on Saturday. So I'm offering some pre-made minimalist covers for sale here. This is my first time offering covers for sale (I've made them for myself for years). $40 per cover. 🧵

Tell your friends! Support small labels! This is very much our ‘make or break’ (first foray into) vinyl release - take a listen and pick up a copy: you’ll be keeping the label alive!

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are going to be surprised when they realize how much of their vote is made up of left-leaning people who assumed they would, at the least, be better than the Tories. All this ill-informed, counter-productive right-wing posturing is going to damage them, and the country.

Does anyone else find @bandcamp.com no longer seems to send out messages telling people about your new releases? I get everyone else's, but I have to manually tell people about my label :( Either way, pre-order for out anniversary comp is out! difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-only...

Interesting that when my musicians union membership lapsed because I couldn’t afford it anymore, they phoned me up to tell me off, rather than saying ‘how can we, the musicians union, help you, a musician, with your employment woes?’. Not much of labour union, is it?

My face! Doing a thing! shorturl.at/ppWif

There's many, many good reasons to pick up MEANS vol 2, but I'm really enjoying going through all the music reviews - we're covering some spectacular stuff. meansmagazine.com

Collective music brain: British band, had two drummers. Broadly speaking made indie music. Probably around 2010 or so. Singer had some sort of physical disability I think, and one of the groups dads was in the band... any ideas?

I've now attempted to employ 3 promo companies to promote our new compilation. All 3 attempts failed (for diff reasons). Now I need your help! What blogs/radio/sites/etc. do you use for new music? Where can I send promo copies? It's our first vinyl release, and I can't afford to mess this up!

MEANS Mag #2 Featuring Siavash Amini The Menopause Queen Hex on Billionaires Infinity Tennis Power & Artistry Notes on the Ukrainian Underground Soon to be on your coffee table.

I keep listening to this - it's a lovely set of pieces, mostly mild and welcoming but with just the right amount of righteous anger. It's only a few quid, and your support would mean the world. #piano #strings #electronic #experimental #classical difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/old-wo...

Top tip: when sharing BC codes with reviewers, don't have all your tracks in 'pre-order' mode, where they can't actually be listened to before the release comes out. Three releases that were going to get reviewed in @meansmagazine.bsky.social are now not, because I can't actually listen to them.
