Black Hill Transmissions – Transmission #3

Daniel Bachman – When the Roses Come Again (Three Lobed) (h/t Joanne Buchanan)

Vince Clarke – Songs of Silence / In lighter news, Vince Clarke released his first solo album today and it is a droning, haunting electronic soundscape that I’ve been delighting in all day. If electronic ambient is your jam, it’s worth a listen. I think it’s a masterpiece – Donovan

Nick Joliat – Casio Music 2 (people | places | records)

Room of Wires – Floodplains

Mount Maxwell – Littlefolk (Hotham / We Are Busy Bodies)

Salmon Graveyard – S/T (Ramble Records) / One record I have been obsessed with lately is the kosmische Appalachian string music of Salmon Graveyard’s self-titled LP on Ramble Records – Record Crates United

VA – Ballads Of Seduction, Fertility And Ritual Slaughter (Was Ist Das?) / An interesting reworking of the original Wicker Man soundtrack by Various Artists / Likely to upset some and delight others – David Soulscorch

Listening Recommendations

Erm & Nickname – S/T (Third Kind) / I’m making this 2017 weird-folk album available again. The cassettes went long ago but I realised there are still CDs!  “Dark psychedelic clouds gather at the fringes of a sepia tinged 70s English summer that never existed” Peter Hoggarth
