For today’s #bandcampfriday #bcf, I highly recommend giving a listen to the just-released debut album “A Field of Manmade Fires” from BRSR (pronounced “bruiser”).

I’d describe the genre as alternative rock with some post-hardcore, post-rock, and shoegaze. And for some reason, it reminds me of the Aereogramme debut album and Pearl Jam. 🤷‍♂️

Currently checking out #TheReticent - Please.

Too deathy for me. The theme is mental health, and it has non-music, narrated passages that don't do it for me.

Currently checking out Pictures by #HamaSaari.
I'd describe their music as dreamy, mellow #ProgRock, #Alcest'ey in places and some (late) #Anathema, too.

For #bcf, I'm going to buy the album Floodgate by #ImminentSonicDestruction.
While I don't exactly like the sound of the singer's voice, some of the music that's happening feels intriguing. The music is in that general #ProgMetal area that I tend to enjoy. I can't really compare it to other bands for #ffo, but the page tags this release as:

#DevinTownsend #DreamTheater #Haken #Leprous #Opeth etc.

Not recommended for #bcf: #MachinaeSupremacy's self titled album:

My love for #MaSu is purely nostalgic at this point. The new album, released today, is a generic #PowerMetal thing that has nothing for me that sticks.

Wo morgen doch #bcf ist, dachte ich, ich blättere nochmal schnell die #eclipsed durch, die seit einigen Tagen hier rumliegt.

Und siehe da!

Jemand von der Redaktion war auch in Hamburg im Kino bei #LongDistanceCalling! 😂

#BCF is in 7 minutes, and I don't have anything totally new in the queue, so I'll recommend again you get the amazing #Lednik album Celestial Monuments

I've been waiting for a java BCF2.2 parser in HTSJDK for ~10 years

So I wrote one: https://github.com/lindenb/bcfparser

The BCF specification is quite complicated but it looks like the current tests are passing.
