Staying in and watching some destruction of records. I don't like their dis of Phil from Time Team though. Gits.

Gav and Dan take 1 piece of vinyl and spin it so fast it becomes about 50,000 pieces of vinyl. The results are obviously captured by a very high speed camera...

Okay, there's only six days left of the marvellous Ed Dowie's fundraiser to pay for his second album (we should've posted this four days ago). He's been in our place a couple of times and is an absolute gent so you should all pledge. He's 76% of the way there so a little will go a long way. GIVE HIM YOUR MONEY! https://igg.me/at/eddowie/x #/

Hi. I know I've been bugging y'all about my crowdfunder for ages. It'll all be over at 11:59pm next Friday I promise! I REALLY appreciate all the support so far, I can't thank you enough.

I still have £1660 to raise to reach my target, so I'm going to be pushing it as much as possible until then. Hope you don't mind! :-)

Another excellent Klank product. 🤩🏆🥇

the new album by The Leaf Library is now available for you to pre-order from Bandcamp - it's a marvellous thing

https://wiaiwya.bandcamp.com/album/the-world-is-a-bell

The record is an ambitious and expansive update of their warm, hypnotic drone-pop encompassing gently pulsing electronics, chiming guitars, minimalist piano, acoustic and synthesised drones, noise, improv and intricate brass and string arrangements, all in the service of the band’s most assured and experimental songwriting yet. Two years in the making it features guest contributions from (amongst others) celebrated singer Ed Dowie, noise group Far Rainbow, fellow space-pop travellers Firestations and the string quartet Iskra Strings. It draws on all aspects of the band’s work so far, from indie guitar pop to ambient atmospherics, via surging rhythms and layered, melancholic vocals.

This is the band’s second album (seventh if you count the various remix, side-project and short run CDR and tape releases they have put out over the last few years), and is the official follow up to 2015’s debut Daylight Versions (5* The Guardian). It was recorded at Studio Klank in Wood Green and drummer Lewis Young’s own Drone Lodge studio in Walthamstow using music made for 2017’s instrumental ‘On An Ocean Of Greatness’ (released for WIAIWYA’s 21st anniversary) as a jumping-off point, re-recording and re-wiring that epic track’s dense layers of synth and drone into something completely new.
