I’ve been pretty much obsessively listening to Cassie Ramone’s Sweetheart album since seeing her open for The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Washed out, noisy beauty - well worth checking out: cassieramone.bandcamp.com/album/sweeth...

I reckon everyone has an album in them & this one’s mine: lofi, a bit shambling, a bit jangle, a bit shoegaze and all pop. Reissued by the lovely @subjangle.bsky.social I’d thank you for giving it a listen esp if u missed it last time: goodbyewudaokou.bandcamp.com/album/mirror...

This photo happily captures a bit of the makeshift recording process for Mirror Skies, my first record - snatching a moment when and where I could. I recall thinking the living room had a better guitar sound! #lofi #diysky #musicsky

#NowPlaying Every Hood album is their best one. Cold House still sounds like it could have been made yesterday:

#NowPlaying Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith. I find this (and the first 3 Elliott Smith albums generally) incredibly soothing. Probably against the intention but I just find his voice and the acoustic guitar tone to have this medicinal quality. Favourite track: Clementine
Elliott Smith - self-titled, album cover. It shows the silhouette of a figure appearing to fall to the ground between two buildings.

#nowplaying Remember my first SY gig. This tour, 15 yo, a parent drove us down to London, Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Remember the excitement queuing and where we stood- up front, just to the right. A sharp, short set. Opened with Schizophrenia then played most of nyc. Blew us away, love this album:

Shout out for the changeable cover of the CD version too:

Bandcamp Friday today so a very polite plug that if you’d fancy a CD 💿 of the new album, it’d be a good time and @subjangle.bsky.social and me would be very appreciative 💜🙏

Absolutely stunning acid/IDM from Blank Thomas on @thirdkindrecords.bsky.social technically amazing, but more importantly just takes you to another place 💜 the cassette sounds fantastic too:
