Ageing music obsessive: from drum & bass to death metal via hip-hop, jazz and Terminal Cheesecake.
Completely addicted to this blistering compendium of mazurkas, polkas, bourrées and all points in-between from French duo La Nòvia. la-novia.bandcamp.com/album/versant
Versant, by La Nòvia

3 more days, then I'll put this thing together for Friday!
I've decided on what theme of recommendations I'll make for next weeks #BandcampFriday, but I need your help, folks!

If you have songs, albums, compilations etc. out where you donate the proceeds to a good cause, post them here.
Doesn't matter if it's big or small; I'll boost everything on the 6th!

I probably won’t get to all of these, but these are just some of the new albums out today that interest me. What am I missing?

This was very enjoyable. I'd call it very freeform drone and experimental music, bookended by sounds of a city and a family. The impression I got from this, is one of memories of family, home and community.

Highly recommended!

Check out the sale @hivemindrecords.bandcamp.com has going on! 👍
#NowPlaying

Since @hivemindrecords.bandcamp.com have a Pay-What-You-Want sale going on right now, let's check something from their catalog out.
I've picked this one on the title alone; no idea what to expect otherwise. 🤷

Going in!

It's gorgeous! Dalila's control over her voice is the star here. Belting, operatic high notes, throat singing, fry screams, her abilities are pretty breathtaking. Add to that Industrial elements and and gentle synths and I can see why this impressed Nic so much!

Highest recommendation!
#NowPlaying

If @nicbrown.bsky.social calls this his AOTY, I'm definitely interested, yet slightly scared! 😆

I've actually heard of Dalila Kayros before, when she worked with Godflesh and SYK, but I have no idea what to expect here.

Going in!
