Can‘t thank @neilmason.bsky.social enough for delivering such a lovely indie music mag straight to our inboxes every week! 🙏🙏🙏

Missed this a couple weeks ago.

Vast and well-deserved feature of the majestic @strategictaper.bsky.social in the current The Wire issue by @alteranthony.bsky.social

There are still tapes by STR-affiliated Perkin & Federwisch available over on the always amazing Superpower Taïps @superpolar.bsky.social . Melting motel lounge crooning / glitch schlager / pop non-standards. superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/someth...

New release: Sonopædia by Turmeric Acid y Bardo Todol A Borgesian audio-tome produced using musique concrète techniques, field samples and the human voice (in both Polish and Spanish), transforming encyclopaedic topics into sonic experiences. strategictapereserve.bandcamp.com/album/sonop-...

I must say that quite often I find scientific sonifications rather, well ... dull. But this one is pretty cool. www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

N.B.: We are currently negotiating with Mr Federwisch regarding a new production.

superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/you-wo... ORCA, ATTACK! Can you believe there are still four copies left? One of my dearest cassingles. A total gem. Huge props to elizabethjelly.bsky.social & Dave.

#unheard #bandcamp Day 4. Perkins & Federwisch, ‘…something known as music’ (2023) From the same label as yesterday’s album, viz @superpolar.bsky.social. Heartfelt vocals that’d normally get anthemic indie rock backing instead rub up against glitchscapes ✅👍🏻 super-polar.bandcamp.com/album/someth...

bleed Air’s eponymous debut album. Now on your preferred streaming platform. music.apple.com/de/album/s-t...

Tabs Out cassette podcast made Andreas Gogol's cassingle and the Hualun / bleed Air split part of their Top 200 tapes of 2023: tabsout.com?p=29672

Revisiting Robin Barnick‘s DX7 mishap: “Around 2001, I was trying to program the DX7 and accidentally deleted all of the presets when I started to experiment with emagic's SoundDiver. Every single patch was reset to the "Init" sound, a simple sine wave.” superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/sinuso...

Letztes Exemplar / last copy of Ball Geo's German radio & telephony plunderphonics cassingle - snag it here: superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/hotlin...

just to HIGHLIGHT this: if you want to hear Matt DeMello's absolutely *spirited* piano takes on my Etudes Nos 1 & 2 they can be found on @superpolar.bsky.social's GORGEOUS CASSETTE / digital release here. this cassette was the impetus of the etudes project! superpolar.bandcamp.com/track/b2-etu...

Out now: All The T​-​Shirts I Wore In Lockdown by Xqui superpolar.bandcamp.com/album/all-th... The 35th (and final) cassingle of the series. A heartfelt project by Xqui , Mortality Tables and superpolar Taïps. All proceeds will be donated to charities in UK and DE. #BandcampFriday

And if the delivery god (which I do not believe in, as in any god) is merciful, this will also arrive in time on 3 Nov (you see it here first). A much too good album than that it should only exist digitally.
