New release, a collab with my friend Borehole. Taking in blackened dungeon synth, discordant doom, and celestial choirwork. Central track is a strange improvisation that might sound like Essoupi meets Coil... a few copies of the tape remain! blaggardrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dark-v...

Yorkshire Sound Women Network@yswn.bsky.social · last mo.🌟Layla Legard is a Leeds-based vocalist and musician who draws inspiration from landscape and place via archaeological research, imaginative and magical practices, and improvisation. She plays drums in Tristwch y Fenywod, is half of Hawthonn, and is currently working on a project called Axe Factory.
A surprisingly varied compilation of northern dungeon synth. Faves are Clod's Gryphon-esque prog folk, Asuna's melancholic old school feels. It is an honour to also be in the same company as Trollman av Ildtoppberg! fangornds.bandcamp.com/album/northe...

Richard Littler@richardlittler.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe fruits of insomnia. I started doodling a poseable art mannequin I found on a flea market 2 weeks ago. Recently, I'd also been reading about Elizabethan occultist/alchemist John Dee, so for reasons that now elude me, I ended up turning him into a Silver Age #MarvelComics superhero. #comics
Goth in unexpected places: In 1987 Jackie magazine was doing a fine line in Wayne Hussey piss-takes...
An incredibly beautiful ambient album with a good dose of grit and grain by Leeds' Gareth S Brown (formerly of Hood). Puts me in mind of something like Daniel O'Sullivan's Music for Ark Todd, or Transept. soundinsilencerecords.bandcamp.com/album/red-fi...
Red Fire In The Open, by Death-Static

I feel this is an immensely pleasing tape. Starts off sort of dungeon synthy, but by track 4 has started evoking Coil. Very listenable working music of late. fearofbaptism.bandcamp.com/album/bonecr...
