As I am heading to “North” Macedonia tomorrow, and I am in dire need of a rest, I leave you with a Bandcamp article on old and new post-punk from the Former Yugoslavia. We’ll see you soon! https://daily.bandcamp.com/label-profile/doomtown-records-label-profile
Jeff Gburek – The Dunning-Kruger Effects
Today is an auspicious occasion as this post will mark 1,000 consecutive days of posting music for my readers and friends. It’s most appropriate that number 1,000 would be someone who has appeared quite a few times on the blog, but Jeff Gburek offers an album that is as (primitive) Continue Reading
Skyphone – Oscilla
Our friends at Lost Tribe Sound have released yet another gem in their catalog. This release is from the Danish group Skyphone, and their Bandcamp release page explains further: “The new Skyphone record original began as a project to explore long form close-miced acoustic sessions.

From Continue Reading
Benjamin Aït-Ali – Essai sur des sons oubliés
This is perhaps one of the most beautifully stunning acousmatic works I’ve ever heard. Every percussive strike of the piano had me transfixed while listening, so much so that I wasn’t able to do my normal routine of working while listening to music.

Groove Paradise – Rodrigo Cano
