PICTURE OF HEALTH + ZENNEROES + DUNWICH BELLS - Fri 23rd Jan @ The Blue Moon, Cambridge
Easing into the new year with some new-ish local folks. A triple bill of echoey fuzz-post-punk, haunted violin and electronic loops, and undulating guitar weaving.

EARTHBALL - Sun 19th Apr @ The Blue Moon, Cambridge.

Sprawling, zoned-out jams of wild horns, freely crunching guitars, syrupy beats, unrestrained fx, and amorphous vocalisations.

Looking forward to digging into 10s of albums that had passed under my radar this year.

High probability of a bunch of folks we've brought to Cambridge featuring too.
Hark! The Quietus Albums of 2025 chart is here! Prepare to be astounded, thrilled and (potentially) perplexed. tQ subscribers can also dive into selections from all 100 albums in our bumper 9-hour playlist. #tQCharts

Cheers to everyone who came to or was part of CD&GXX the other weekend. A total musical triumph if you ask anyone who was there.

Short form of bluesky makes a full list of thanks a pain, so go here for full list of appreciation. www.instagram.com/p/DQ7IiNxDHd...

This is what I'm doing on Sunday. It'll be a belter.
Sly break down music to its base elements and reconstruct as rituals of amplifier worship, communing with the audience-as-congregation, getting right up in the heart of the chaos. They come to bludgeon you with cacophonic joy and camaraderie, modulating your mind into triumphant submission.
