This Friday, August 25th will see the release of 'Than To Curse the Darkness' by Spoon Hammer on Bandcamp and streaming.
The material aims to shine a light in these times of darkness. Aww, who am I kidding? Most of the songs are pretty dour, just like I meant them to be. Please enjoy my misery.

Spoon Hammer has released a re-mixed version of the 'Songs You Can Live Without' album on Bandcamp.
The new mix cleans up the sound and is a lot more punchier with more depth. It's awesome-sauce now and you should check it out.

Since I've been doing some practice and experimenting with mixing techniques in the last few weeks, I've reposted this song on Bandcamp which now sounds a heck of a lot better sonically.

Happy B-day, Adrienne. This one is about you.
Check out the first song from my 'Than to Curse the Darkness' album called 'Blue Sky'. Went for a Morricone inspired vibe on this one.

Happy B-day, Adrienne. This one is about you.
I've spent more time mixing this song than I did playing/singing/recording/editing/fixing the damn thing.
But I did learn a whole bunch of new mixing techniques, so it's all good.

Done!
Of course the first album I listen to is an acoustic one! 😆
This is very good; stylistically I'd say it's a kind of gothic Folk. Lyrics would work in Black or DoomMetal as well. Very mellow and relaxed atmosphere.
Highly, highly recommended!
Good job @spoonhammer.bsky.social! 👍

Not familiar with the music of @spoonhammer.bsky.social yet but on their new album, I'm seeing the tags "acoustic rock", "alternative metal" and "industrial".
Sounds interesting to me!
Going in!

I suck. Didn't notice the typo on the date which should be 'Friday, August 29th', which would be obvious to anyone with a calendar.

In two weeks, Spoon Hammer's 'Than To Curse the Darkness' will be released.
A collection of 11 'acoustic' based songs, which is the polar opposite of the the first Spoon Hammer album from 2023 which was mostly industrial/metal/noise.

Looks like my 'acoustic' album will be out end of August. Tracks are completed and I have cover artwork.
I'd slip it out before then, but I have a vacation coming.

Well, I think I'm about ready to put a wrap on the 'acoustic' EP that I've been working on since September. 11 songs completed, so it's no longer an EP 🤣.
Just need to add bass to one track and then I can look at releasing it soon.

It seems that about 70% of my recording time is spent cleaning up tracks, fixing timing and comping.

Out today -- Spoon Hammer's cover of Mindfunk's Closer as I pay tribute to one of my favourite albums from the '90s that very few people have actually heard.

So I pushed myself to write a song that was about something positive and it was the hardest thing I ever tried to write. I guess I'm just more naturally inclined to be a downer for my music.

This week I start working on the 8th song for my acoustic EP. I guess it's going to be an album now.

Coming soon! Spoon Hammer covers 'Closer' for a Mind Funk tribute record. From their 'Dropped' album, which is one of my favourite albums that very few people ever heard.
I think it came out pretty spiffy.

@mike1infive.bsky.social I know you're a Nirvana fan - -you might like this one too.
A couple of years ago I was approached to do a Nirvana cover for a compilation that looks to have disappeared. Of course I had to pick the relatively obscure 'Big Long Now'. I re-mixed it and now it can be found on Youtube.

You heard the man -- check it out.
The choppy riff is so tight in this it’s ridiculously good! Love how it builds throughout and that is a very cool catchy chorus. Solid tune, enjoyed that - check it out 🤘
Didn't think this was great enough for Dichroma, but thought it was still halfway decent enough to put out under Spoon Hammer.
