  • Stuffed Foxes - Standardized - https://stuffedfoxes.bandcamp.com/album/standardized-2: Newest LP from French psych-rock/shoegazers, dynamic epic squalls of guitar that evoke all the bits you like in the recent history of (alt)-rock.
  • Keygen Church - Tenebre Rosso Sangue - https://keygenchurch.bandcamp.com/album/tenebre-rosso-sangue: Saw this last night and thought I'd give it a listen. Italian electronic instrumental death metal, which of course must exist according to the Unified Theory of Metal, which posits that all musical genres have a metal state. Rather bracing, like having your head in a threshing machine is bracing.
  • Various - Zenapolae: Compilation 24 - https://www.zenapolae.com/zen294 Ambient, drone and downbeat compilation from a veteran German based netlabel. A collection of tracks from recent releases on the label, ranging from neoclassical drone, to layered guitared ambience and straight(ish) instrumental electronica. Worth a listen and all free to download.
