Easily the best stuff they've done since Voodoo Caravan/Hooray! It's a Deathtrip (both of which I love).

A joy to write the cover story on @wendyeisenberg.bsky.social for @thewiremagazine.bsky.social. We discuss their gorgeous new song album @joyfulnoiserecs.bsky.social & their wider adventures across free jazz, punk, new music and much more!

The Wire 506 is out now!

Featuring Wendy Eisenberg on the cover, plus an Augustus Pablo primer, Mariá Portugal, KAVARI, Yellow Swans' Invisible Jukebox, and much more.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

There's doing PR for NSBM/sketch labels and bands, and then there's this...

Oh, man. Immense loss. One of the greatest.

By not engaging with “Bawitdaba”, the left risks ceding ground in the critical debate surrounding the music of Kid Rock to the right.

RIP

MetalMatters: Best Metal Albums of January 2026 » PopMatters In January's best metal, Ulver return to their deep electronica, the Ruins of Beverast show off their extreme black/doom, and Zu join free-jazz madness with ambient bliss.

For the January edition of MetalMatters @popmatters.com, I covered some excellent new music by The Ruins Of Beverast, Ulver, Voidhämmer, Barbarian, Blackwater Holylight, Bone Weapon, and Furi Helium. Black, death, thrash metal, and mixtures thereof.

PLAGUE MUSIC, by KAVARI 4 track album

XL had a really great 2025 (Blawan, keiyaA, Nourished By Time, Verraco, Jim Legxacy...) and they're certainly taking the same energy into 2026. This new Kavari EP rules.

An excerpt from the book Faith, folk and the far right: Racist and anti-racist Heathenry and occultism in Britain (2025) by Dominic Alessio and Robert J. Wallis relating to one of the many far-right-coded "nationalist" statements from members of the English black metal band Winterfylleth

Remember: Friends don't let friends listen to Winterfylleth

And releasing excellent albums, most of which went more or less unnoticed.

Great to see dälek (by @jjstannard.bsky.social) and Zu (by @miloshroch.bsky.social) getting some well-deserved attention in @thewiremagazine.bsky.social!

On my end, I reviewed Polish group Oberkas Travel, who reinterpret traditional oberek dance songs in a wild contemporary jazz/improv/psych key.

The Pixels Themselves: An Interview With Mario Klingemann | The Quietus When Mario Klingemann concluded his keynote speech at the xCoAx 2018 conference in Madrid, an uncomfortable murmur floated above the audience. Discord had infected the hundred or so gathered artists a...

My @thequietus.com interview with German multimedia artist Mario Klingemann from 2018, when "AI" still felt exciting to experiment with and provided the potential of interesting subversions (as Herndon advocates), seems relevant again.

Gli Earth cancellano il concerto al TPO di Bologna a causa di una bandiera palestinese Gli Earth tornavano oggi in Italia per quella che sarebbe dovuta essere la prima delle loro due date nel nostro paese...

Wow, apparently Earth refused to perform in Bologna because the club (TPO) would not take down a Palestinian flag that was hung near the stage. Well fuck them.

Tashi Dorji – Low Clouds Hang, This Land is on Fire | The Quietus The Bhutan-born, North Carolina-based guitarist picks up an electric guitar for this initially somewhat softer take on his solo practice, albeit spiked with greater urgency as the record progresses

For @thequietus.com, I wrote about an early favourite from 2026: @dorjitashi.bsky.social's at once gentle and resolute album of spectral electric guitar, 𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦.

Very on point piece. I have a few quibbles with it (equating sampling and other things from the past with generative models), but otherwise worth a read.

I just got through the fucking firewall, we're ok, i'll get back all you lovely friends as soon as i can find a better connection, we didn't even have sms text until a few days ago. Much love.

Sure, I write for them, but I have happily subscribed to @thequietus.com for some years now. Little things mean a lot, especially when they multiply in number.

Spool's Out: Cassette Reviews for January by Daryl Worthington | The Quietus The tape revival has been revived. According to Official Charts Company data, UK sales of cassettes dipped slightly in 2024, but in 2025 they rallied, 164,000 units sold, 53 per cent up on the previou...

My first Spool's Out cassette reviews column of 2026 is now up at @thequietus.com Always such a joy to write this, and there's once again a deluge of fantastic sounds coming out on tape...
