Great new single from Goodbye Wudaokou @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social. This release also features a lovely demo track as its b-side. Well worth listening to.

Hi friends, ending 2025 with the final Goodbye Wudaokou release for a while. Spare Year is a chiming, wistful, wintry affair, gently arranged w faint hints of jangly Americana:

I can always count on @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social to decimate my heart in all the best ways. Spare Year glistens with melodic wonder, whilst Escher evokes the spirit of early Durutti Column with its evocative, brooding beauty. Essential listening.

Enjoying @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social leaning into darker, more melancholy material for his latest few releases and loving the Americana influence. Also, delighted to find my CD copy of Anything Of Us waiting on my desk when I got back from Miami on Friday. Check out both if you haven't already.

The new single by SHOPFIRES available from Wednesday 10th December (two years on from the debut single Summer Bruises). It's a little bit of orchestral pop and is coupled with an instrumental track. It's a bit different than my usual fare. Fingers crossed you'll like it.

This is great! ⬇️
Been listening on a loop!
It’s been a long time since I posted a work in progress- new delay pedal arrived yesterday so what better excuse. Wintry post rock and shoegaze vibes, possibly inadvertently stealing a couple of “Hood chords” in the middle bit:

Quick summary with a few hours left of Bandcamp Friday! Buy IN THE APRIL SUN, buy THE ZINE IN BETWEEN and buy LOWLANDS!

Oh and buy Mirror Skies by @goodbyeacademy.bsky.social and the Neuclouds LP from @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social! And the new @lovejoy-official.bsky.social!

And and and and

Two disparate seasonal BC Friday recommendations from me: 1) the shimmering melancholy pop of @lovejoy-official.bsky.social’s Sentimental Memories EP and 2) the seemingly ancient off-kilter arrangements of @plentywenlock.bsky.social’s new Antiquarian album.
