DIY record label putting out vinyl.
Run like a secret cult.
Apparently.
Bandcamp Fridays are a great way to support DIY record labels - we have the new Massage album available on Pre Order , a limited UK pressing of only 150 copies on powder blue vinyl

I have nothing bad to say about this album - it’s pretty much perfect in every way.

Didn’t make an End of Year list or a compilation for 2024. It was a generally bad year on a personal level.

Was there anything better than this placed on the Internet last year though ?

I have a gut feel the record being pressed in Boro was a big reason it got to 1 .

Wise man nevertheless.
My top 5 albums of 2025, a fantastic year for new music.

1️⃣Mt.Misery - Love in Mind
2️⃣Jessica Pratt - Here in the Pitch
3️⃣Dummy - Free Energy
4️⃣Three Quarter Skies- Fade In
5️⃣Mo Dotti - Opaque

Super chuffed to have 2 albums in Joes Top 20 including his Number 1 courtesy of the Mt. Misery album .

Given the sheer volume of records he listens to we are truly honoured
We've reached the end 🤯 - Here's 20 - 1 and some small thoughts on each in the comments section...

Thanks @slumberlandrecords.bsky.social for reminding us that compilation came out in 2024 - it’s feels like it came out more than a year ago. 😂
Some music I liked this year, maybe you'll like some of it too. I do these lists every year to help remember and celebrate how lucky we are that there's so much amazing music, always.

A fantastic list - lots of stuff I haven’t heard and will check out.

More love for the Mt. Misery album
too which is massively appreciated.

Means a lot to us when folk say nice things - not saying the band will necessarily turn up and play a gig in your front garden , but once the weather turns nice ….

We are too poor to buy press and radio coverage, so it really does mean a lot when people take the time to write genuinely lovely stuff about records we put out.

Dunno if it’s the most thoughtful
Single review we have ever had, but it’s definitely in the top 2 !
Somewhat after the fact, I wrote a piece about Mt. Misery’s ace single Waking Up, which is one of my songs of the year. It’s also about songs that truly work their magic with time. (cc: @prefectrecords.bsky.social)

Thanks Fran - nice to see the band getting a few decent Festival slots sorted for next year too.

More of which shortly.
This album though 💙 Essential listening for any hopeless romantics out there who still believe in magic and the power of the three minute pop song (🙋‍♂️). All the love for Mt. Misery.

Great review of the new EggS album - available from our website/Bandcamp but we are already down to the last 30 or so copies.

Very excited there is new Horsegirl music. Tempered by the sadness of knowing I will never see them playing it live .
