Demon of the Fall

Barker! “Utility” was great

and erm BC,NR should be interesting, regardless of whichever direction that ends up going in!

NexCeleris
03.30.25

Not in alphabetical order? OCD instantly triggered. Nice work with the early drop.

Hawks
03.30.25

Hmmm new Allegaeon should be cool. Tómarúm, Flagg, DJ Koze, The Ophelias, BT Gate X-138, and Penelope Trappes look sweet too. Might be a decent week!

Vercetti
03.30.25

The new Scowl album is going to be good

normaloctagon
03.31.25

Oh also!! Penelope Trappes is doing a bandcamp listening party April 2nd. Loved what I heard of her forthcoming LP and highly recommend! Will bump this list with a link when it’s happening

DoofDoof

On the list: Barker, DJ Koze, Florist, Sleigh Bells and the BCNR which I feel obliged to check but think will likely be dross.

normaloctagon
04.02.25

Oops missed JOTW yes buddy it sure is. New stereociti clips are sounding good

@doof I’m super stoked for barker, the DJ Koze seems cool but weiiird in a ‘this will probably be a firm 3.5’ kinda way

Dewinged
04.02.25

No prob Octa, I know how hard is to do these lists. Gonna check that Penelope album, you got me at Hausswolff.

DoofDoof
04.02.25

normalo - yeah I wasnt being harsh to Floris, Barker and DJ Koze which I think might all be decent to positively surprising, but they are quite a low key haul from the main list, a quiet main list week for me.

someone
04.02.25
