🎵Bandcamp album tooting🎵
Over on Twitter I've had a thread running about albums from Bandcamp that I've liked. It's a way to keep track of things I've discovered (and things I like) and hopefully you might like some of them too.
I'm going to recreate that here, now, so please excuse the raft of posting to come today, and check 'em out. #noxp #bandcamp #music
Halfway through this combo from DIY doom titans Thou and mysterious crusher Mizmor and... holy fuck.
8 track album
Symphonic doom metal that ends with a song about a Japanese plane crash? A bit overlong, but does the trick.

7 track album
This (and every other) Diploid album is like being hit by a truck laden with crises.

The insane krautrock/wail jam that occurs on track five of this release is AMAZING.
(Though with Haino, Ambarchi and O'Rourke you already knew this.)

5 track album
Overtone Ensemble is like Harry Bertoia but from down here. Feels a bit like someone drilling into your brain, but nice?

This was one of the first albums I bought on Bandcamp, before I even knew the site was for digital stuff rather than merch. Epic drone, with a chunk of "guitar plays itself" moments. I keep coming back to it.

7 track album
The sort of thing you'd hear played in a dive bar, ideally near you, full of whisky and regret. Excellently arch.
10 track album
I played under Julia in Rhys Chatham's 'A Crimson Grail' a couple of years ago. Julia's albums are great, and this one, with its microtonal tweaking of expectation, is no exception!

9 track album
A collection of petite electronic portraits of Japanese supernatural beings, including tunes meant to be housed on floppy disk.
10 track album
An album of Sunn worship, but crunchier and with occasional kosmische overtones? Sign me up.
8 track album
This is a lot to take in but transcendental fingerpicking based on global stories, performed by a guy who looks like a hippie programmer is THE BEST. Something for everyone.

Been revisiting one of the great free entries in the Oz experimental scene music with the first …

… and second NWA album. Plenty of fractured pop and drifting angst for all. (And many more volumes to come!)

16 track album
Ok so turns out what I was listening to the first time I read Iain Sinclair is just as good the subsequent times. Not as drone-locked as later releases this is still high weirdness.

Next up? The big drone dog. Prefigures Coil’s Time Machines and still rips.

8 track album
Hard to believe this is more than ten years old. Troum were one of the first dark/drone projects I got into, and this one - a themed album about a deluge in 1392 - is one of their best. Solid and doom-inspiring.
1 track album
This is a strange little ambient/electronic EP that sounds a bit like what'd happen if you summoned the Cenobites in Japan. Halfway between percolating ooze and train station jingles.

3 track album
Another Campbell Kneale-adjacent thing, this Lugosi album sounds a bit like tuning a radio beneath powerlines, but with more mystery.
https://campbellkneale.bandcamp.com/album/monarch
4 track album
One person in the middle of nowhere (West Wyalong represent!) armed with a bunch of pedals and a guitar, makes chrome-plated doomed-spaceship rock.

Buddhist doom, naturally.
