Joseph Allred was in cosmic form yesterday evening, summoning entire worlds from the tips of his nimble fingers.

A good friend and I are taking the bold and perhaps slightly barmy step of putting on gigs in Worthing from next month.

If you're in the South Coast locale and fancy getting the low down, give @dreamsmotherers.bsky.social a follow.

Thoroughly enjoyed @hyperdawn.bsky.social's twinkly tape manipulations too.

Moin were in fine form the other night at ACCA... Like they were weaving a battering ram out of vibrating atoms.

To help work through the grief of losing her father, @annahogberg.bsky.social got her old ensemble back together for a sonic trip across mountain and sea.

Blawan's got a cracking new record out so naturally I used up the word count harping on about Armand Van Helden, robotics, Transformers, AI, and maggots.

Album of the Week action for @thequietus.com

Huge billowing soundscapes formed with delicate poise by @k-lc.bsky.social at the ICA last night.

Very much looking forward to her third(!) album of the year.

And last, but not least, Mr @muterecords.bsky.social himself - Daniel Miller - on the modulars.

Sadly Mieko Shimizu couldn't make it but a couple of her new tracks were played with Violet Savage's flowing movements as accompaniment.

Cracking evening at Soho Electronic on Saturday.

It sounded like there were some dazzling performances earlier in the day but it began for me with Noise Warfare at Farsight Gallery.

Some thoughts on 'This Ain't Rock 'n' Roll' by @danielrachel.bsky.social due out next month through @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social

A thread 1/9

A vital, chilling, and impactful documentation of pop music’s incessant obsession with Nazism and the culture's willingness to look the other way...

Happy 500th birthday @thewiremagazine.bsky.social!

And then some cracking insight from @soundsofslomo.com, @stephenomalley74.bsky.social, @jjstannard.bsky.social, @matthewmshaw.bsky.social on heavy drone masterpiece, 'The Creep'

Jackie-O Motherfucker in mesmerising form at the Rose Hill last night.

Well worthy of your ears...

A worthy challenger for my own nightmarish artwork high/low point.

I present to you the girl who kept watch over us as we slept in a Rochester hotel:

Gonna be slinging merchandise at this tonight.

Swing by, give us a wave.

Andrew Nolan's a busy chap. He's pulled together a second batch of non-album tracks in the past few months.

I had some thoughts here: thequietus.com/quietus-revi...
