Pleased to pick up the long overdue reissue of the Paris 1942 album today; an early eighties oddity featuring Moe Tucker of The Velvet Underground and the Bishop brothers from Sun City Girls. This is one of my favourite tracks 🖤

Well over 2 hours of intense, transformative sound from SWANS at Project House in Leeds. Tonight, they sounded like the roaring ocean; an awe inspiring and overwhelming force of nature. Gira conducting the tsunami. I've not witnessed something like that for a long time. A real time rebirth.

A startling and distinctive new song and video from Leeds-based neo-folk act Wire Worms. Steeped in melancholy and menace, All Bells in Paradise might just be the best thing the band have released 🖤
