Oh, this one is a treat! Yumi Zouma are from Christchurch, New Zealand, home to many incredible lo-fi indie bands, but this one is a touch different. Think Lush, Siouxsie & The Banshees, and a rawer Blondie rolled up into one band. One of the best surprises of 2026 for Continue Reading

Something to Do on a Sunday – This is Not the Plan
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.
Killing Joke – Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell (Deluxe)

Ken Clinger – KC.60
Ken Clinger is one of those Bandcamp artists who release a ton of stuff, but he has quite a few gems in this catalog. This one reminds me of artists like Visage and Gary Numan.
Charlotte&Magic – Always A Secret
What a great find this is! Charlotte Cegara manages to blend touches of Siouxsie & The Banshees with Kate Bush’s earlier vocal acrobatics. She’s going to be worth exploring further, I’m sure.
Tuxedomoon – Desire (45th Anniversary Edition)

From Waclaw Zimpel’s Bandcamp site: “Saagara’s album 3 made itself right at home in the tak:til universe as soon as it was released to considerable acclaim last October, quickly becoming as much of a touchstone for the label’s Fourth World aesthetic as Jon Hassell, 75 Dollar Bill and Širom.
