this beauty is now up for preorder: "Mayday Royale", the debut lp of Goldscammer. Goldscammer is the solo project of Tim Depraetere, a long time presence in the Belgian underground (ao collaborator of Annelies Monseré), finally delivering a solo debut: www.morctapes.com/goldscammer-lp
i've never heard this version before, but it sounds like i remember Ray perfoming this on Castanets' euro tour just weeks before City of Refuge came out. still sad he's gone, one of my favorite artists of the past 20 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Xt...

Latest episode of morcfm is now online: we start of this episode of morc with 'The lost beliefs' - one of the songs from the upcoming Goldscammer lp 'Mayday Royale'. an incredible 10 minute long epic. for the rest of the album, you'll have to wait until late october. --> morctapes.com/morcfm
"Things stay hushed and focused (...) it's impressive that all of Wade holds together as well as it does; a carefully constructed atmosphere that’s easy to spend time in." some really nice words from Dusted Magazine about the Circle bros lp 'Wade' (lp still available via morctapes.com/store )

morcfm episode 66 is here. just a good mix, with a few new and unreleased tracks in it. --> www.morctapes.com/morcfm many tracks refer to concerts we're attending/attended/missed - including a song from the only (!) Minnentonka-concert ever.
Also: just noticed Andy wears a Die Verlierer shirt, and it makes sense really.
The only thing that shouts 'i'm 46!' more than attending a Therapy? Show in 2026 is watching the concert registration of that show on national tv. (It's about as honorble as it can get)
Look, we're in the middle of the Gentse Feesten. so there's not much time to prepare a radio show. but! earlier this year, there was an @tromerecords.bsky.social label night in Ghent where we we're supposed to DJ along with Tobin Verdonck. We recycled that set at morctapes.com/morcfm . Back to back.
Woke up at 2.10 am because of screaming neighbours. Fortunately, i realized fast enough that Belgium must have scored. Feel asleep again. Still kind of happy about a football game for the first time since i-don't-know-when
morcfm episode 64 is here. this is an episode for those who actually listen and not just read the tracklisting: there's a demo of a track from an upcoming morc-release hidden here somewhere. up you to to find out who/what/when. listen via morctapes.com/morcfm
Tonight, 22.00 CET: morcfm episode 64. Quite a 'pop'-oriented episode. 100% barbecue-friendly.

i was looking for alasdair roberts' solo version of carlisle wall on one of those rare occasions he used a loopstation. couldn't find that version anymore, but this one, as a duo with a violin player from 2010 is just as jawdropping www.youtube.com/watch?v=HueK...

My introduction to linus' world. Recommended, of course. (And while you're at it: the recent amarente-cerisier lp on okraina is excellent as well)
Okraïna Records + By the Bluest of Seas Records@okrainarecords.bsky.social · 4mo ago...and the 1st album (double 10inch) mostly compiled by Linus from his 3 first cassettes (+ some previously unherad tracks) is still available on Okraïna ! 😉 okrainarecords.bandcamp.com/album/het-vl...
.. and that was the very last copy of 'oude geuze uit niemandaal', Linus vandewolken's lp from 2024. we ran out of copies a long time ago, but recently got a handful back. now gone again, and we won't have this one back in again, unfortunately.
sixteen songs in this episode of morcfm. so you'll hear a lot of things. a lot of dreamy things (the start), a lot of noisier things (middle), a lot of 'mary gold I' (three versions of this Bluesanct-standard), a lot of songs from self-released albums: a lot of things we listened a lot to lately.
"Wade will stay with you long after you've moved on to the rest of your life. Days, weeks later you'll still wonder where that noise in your head came from. " - really nice review of the latest circle bros lp on terrascope: www.terrascope.co.uk/Reviews/Revi...

last week's episode of morcfm can now be re-listened. --> morctapes.com/morcfm we released the circle bros lp 'wade' just days before this episode. so, that asks for a special. we thought it'd be nice to focus on the people mentioned in the credits of this album.
In today's episode of morcfm, we focus on the People mentioned on the back of this lp. 22.00, via camp radio.

new morc-release out today: 'Wade' by Circle Bros. an odd one to announce, since, well, it's me. but pretty proud of this one. more details etc: www.morctapes.com/circlebros-w... hope you'll enjoy the album!
what do we have here? a new circle bros lp! out april 27th, first track/preorder up now at www.morctapes.com/circlebros-w... semi-improvised songs built from fractured melodies, hushed sounds and details that are hard to place. A gentle and focused record — something we can all use right now.
well, there sure is some gold to be found in the much discussed Aadam Jacobs Audio Archive. like, this live recording by Peter Jefferies with a very remarkable (and very good) version of 'On an unknown beach'. archive.org/details/ajc0...

Last week's episode of morcfm: morctapes.com/morcfm . A lot of new material this time. i specifically need to mention the opener: that's a track from the upcoming Circle Bros lp, which will be out later this month. hazy, gritty and slow: something we can all use every now and then.
still recovering from last week's wonderful label night in Dranouter. lousy pics from a great event.
I've said it before: de algemene verwarring is my favorite radioshow. Who Else Starts with the kids, ends with Roy Montgomery and does a (flattering) morc special on the way?
Fré@allshdws.bsky.social · 6mo agoDe Algemene Verwarring #149 kijkt vooruit naar de @morctapes.bsky.social label night in Dranouter en heeft verder muziek van o.a. The Kids, Bullet Lavolta, Mag & The Suspects, Pavement, Die Anstalt, Birdskin, The Particles, Claire Rousay, Roy Montgomery en meer! Luister:
look! it's @jessicabailiff.bsky.social in Dranouter. come and see her first european show in over a decade: www.muziekcentrumdranouter.be/nl/concert/2...
