A fine name for a band, given that today is Sunday and I have little to do after liturgy. Something to Do on a Sunday is a post-rock band from Sydney, Australia, and offers a far more mellow and bright sound than others in the genre do. Pleasant listening.
Various Artists – TAL Music: Music from the Caucasus – The Archive of ORED Recordings, 2013–2023
As much as I try to absorb as many new releases and great reissues as possible, I’m only one man, and sometimes treasures slip through the cracks. I wish to thank Praveer Baijal, who, besides being a great and good guy, is also a man of exquisite musical taste, for pointing Continue Reading
SUNN O))) – sunn O))) (SP1685)
SUNN O))) will have a new album available on April 3, 2026. There is only one track available to sample, but if this is an indication of what the whole album will be like, it will make for brutal listening. I’m looking forward to it, though I have a feeling Continue Reading
Love Sea Sick – Sciócaz
As far as I can tell, Love Sea Sick is a Belgian band that offers noise rock in the vein of bands I love, such as Fushitsusha and Keiji Haino’s mid-period work. The guitar roars are loud yet controlled. There is a tension throughout the album that keeps you from losing interest. Well done, though not Continue Reading

For those of you who are fans of bands like Khruangbin, you will certainly enjoy Sons of Zöku, a band that hails from Australia. There are far more vocals here, but that funky, nearly Afrobeat-ish pulse underneath and the psychedelic vibe make this fine listening.
Srdjan Ivanović Blazin’ Quartet – Sleeping Beauty
What a pleasant and elegant surprise this album is! The Blazin’ Quartet offers up a late-night smoky jazz with a hint of ECM Records‘ sonic aesthetics, early Durutti Column and a more instrumental Tindersticks. True whiskey-and-cigarette music.
Killing Joke – Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell (Deluxe)
From Killing Joke’s very own Bandcamp site: “16 years on from its deliverance, Killing Joke release the deluxe version of arguably one of their darkest albums to date, ‘Hosannas From The Basements of Hell’.

From the Bandcamp site: “Wewantsounds is delighted to continue its Yoshiko Sai reissue program with the release of “Mikkou”, the Japanese singer-songwriter’s 2nd album released in 1976 Continue Reading
