Super excited to be releasing another record on Black Truffle. Copies are on their way to Scotland and it’ll be available direct from me in a week or so, should you wish.
Preorders now available for HIDDEN by the inimitable RICHARD YOUNGS. Like little else in contemporary music, Youngs’ work beams with the simple joys of exploration & experiment. LP+Digital: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Carlos just announced a new record with some collabs and I’m stoked he asked me to be on one of the songs -
what a delight to announce a new edition from Carlos Giffoni!
Track Premieres: Carlos Giffoni “Pendulum” & “Beam”
The title track features Greg Kelley and is like a sonic rise. Trumpet layers effervesce, a blooming catharsis welcoming us into the world of Pendulum. It’s an emotional hammer blow that̵…

Great to see @6organs.bsky.social again. It was a lovely evening.
A joy to be in the musical company of these two troubadours at #oldhairdressers last night. Thank you @nofansrecords.bsky.social and @6organs.bsky.social

Listening to new fantastic Sir Richard Bishop LP and just remembered the the time we were on tour and Rick said to me: “you and Yngwie are all about scales. I don’t do scales. Scales are for snakes”

Goodbye to my friend John Whitson. We put out our first full length LP together (Plague Lounge in ‘96). I owe much of my path to him, not only for releasing my early records but also the great music he introduced me too, especially in the mid 90s. It was an honor to be his friend and work with him.

Really excited to see the debut from Western Extra feat. Donovan Quinn and Chris Rose. Tossing Royal Trux and the societal malaise of The Kinks into the mix, the band scoops a few tricks out The Soft Boys bucket as well, with just a slight whiff of Jacobites vapors. Highly Recommended bit.ly/44u9E5k

some of the best new jams I’ve heard in forever. Insane that no one is talking about these guys. “a fresh take on spiritual jazz built on modal structures, pulsating syncopation, Punk-Gnawa-inspired basslines, and dazzling horn improvisations” facadarecords.bandcamp.com/album/devo-o

Very cool of Jennifer and Dusted to write about this release that has absolutely no press. One of the reasons why Dusted rules.
Sun Home Audio “seems to become what it is as you listen to it, taking shape out of a primordial sea of folk-leaning sound, then dissolving into hiss and static.” Thanks @sixorgans.bsky.social for the tip.

The Six Organs show in Brighton on Fri lost a Bill MacKaye but I’m happy to say I got my friend Mikey on the bill. 6Ø toured with Warmer Milks in 06. Should be a fun show.
Very psyched I got to make the art for a new record from Mazozma (Michael Turner from Warmer Milks/Cross) out soon on Sophomore Lounge.
