Our #SongOfTheDay comes from a loose collective producing cutting edge stuff called Church Chords, in this case including Jeff Parker's always creative guitar work. It's "Warriors of Playtime".
Chartreuse molds atmospheric textures into a misty and expansive sound that they then gently wrap around the brooding folk heartbeat that lies at the core of their songs.
Dr. Dog navigated the decades long path they took from their psychedelic folk beginnings to current indie rock sound with consistently strong songwriting.
Driven by a lo-fi esthetic and DIY mindset, American Culture brings their scrappy sound to a combination of garage, psychedelic and jangle as they move freely across genres.
Our #SongOfTheDay is a COVID lockdown era collab between 4 incredible musicians called Fuubutsushi. Tough to classify, it's sort of jazz-influenced modern classical and very beautiful. It's "Along the Causeway".
They Are Gutting a Body of Water brings a different perspective to shoegaze with their quirky shifts and the lighter sonic palate they bring into their otherwise fuzzy sound.
Producer, singer and all around force of nature Georgia Anne Muldrow is in fine form on our #SongOfTheDay "The Wait" off the latest of her collaboration with Keith Rice, Lilblackkids.
Our #SongOfTheDay is the appropriately titled "Reverie" from guitarist Shin Sasakubo and producer/pianist Jamael Dean. Its dreamlike sounds joined by the lovely voice of Sharada Shashidhar.
Somi seamlessly blends East and West African musical traditions with jazz, rounded off with some R&B flavors, to create beautifully textured music that's also lively, and colorful.
#New#music! As promised, the corpus of Metaphysical Shitposting has grown! A new track has appeared! It's "Cosmic Horror in the Strip Mall Parking Lot," a direct sonic exploration of that peculiar, mind-rending experience.
Oh, look! A new track added to Metaphysical Shitposting! It's "Cosmic Horror at the Strip Mall Parking Lot." It's the sonic version of that timeless, universal experience -- you head to the convenience store with a head full of acid and there, among the Slim Jim wrappers and cigarette butts and gasoline fumes, the full horror of our existence hits you all at once! The Great Old Ones have your FULL attention and it's Not Great!
It's just two weeks until my unbroken streak of new listeners hits one full year... But I haven't had a listener yet today. Want to help keep my streak alive? Discover some new music? You can do both!
Don't let my streak end! It's been ~350 days since the last time I had a zero stream day... Just two weeks until I make it a year! But I haven't had one today, so maybe go #listen to some of my weird psychotronic #electro#dub weirdness? Even a single listen to a single song would keep the streak alive...
the dissapointment at bandcamp development (I blame Ethan Diamond or the whole founders team who supposedly all left at the sale not the team who's now actually running it) just can't get out of my head. I keep thinking what we will be loosing if-when enshittification shows up, I keep thinking about alternatives, a vision of federated hubs of little bandcamps, a guide how to #BeYourOwnPlatform using GRAV/WP, listmonk, mail-in-a-box... or some other combination of floss.
@luka I think it would be great if the spirit of Bandcamp could somehow be carried forward (with improved feature set and ergonomics).
Back when EPIC came into play, I thought the money from them could bring great new developments to Bandcamp.
It would be amazing if there was a #federated#opensource#successor to #bandcamp for musicians to promote and sell their #music and for #musicdiscovery on the fan side of things.
