It's not autumn yet. Why not let The Lost Guests keep the mood summery with a Jonathan Richman cover? "The breeze so neat and so sweet Bees buzzing, flies not yet flying Little nits nitting, gnats gnatting" lostguests.bandcamp.com/track/summer...

We can very happily announce the next YYZ release will be a glorious 7” from @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social Two gorgeous new tracks imbued with Neil’s inimitable shimmering melancholy and fully deserving to be spun on yr turntable. More details soon. #indie #jangle #MusicSky #Indiepop

We at YYZ are thrilled to have had a small hand in Fran’s stunning mini-album. CDs long sold out but an infinite supply of downloads left on the YYZ Bandcamp page:

Six months of Home Truths 🩵 Here’s an excerpt from the original Tripping Over My Heart demo. All the love to @yyzrecords.bsky.social, you can download the album here: yyzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-t...

We’ve sent a couple of gorgeous tracks to our 7” cutting expert. Can’t wait for those to become a reality, not long to go!

Turning the lights back on here as there may well be some YYZ news in the not too distant future.

I have a new single out today, comprising acoustic sketches recorded during my recent trip to Hydra, Greece: francarlyon.bandcamp.com/album/hydra You can also watch the video for lead track Kamini: youtu.be/tTJWHBV4_28?... Much love.

We’re very grateful for the really lovely words from @rosyoverdrive.com about Fran’s record: “once you’re in Home Truth’s chilly, vaguely haunted world, it commands your full attention. Instrumental passage lapse into stunning slowcore-ish folk/pop material … in a dream-like state.” 💜🙏
