Great to see Wet Legplay a cracking set at yesterday’s Tramlines. They were the first band we saw at a festival post-COVID back in 2021 and it’s been amazing seeing them grow into a proper festival headliner. Tracks off Moisturiser sounding particularly strong.

Wet Leg plus plenty of dry ice on the Tramlines main stage.

I meant to buy this in 1987, but funds were not available. Good to put that right 39 years later. It’s been a while since I bought an @alternativetent.bsky.social album, for shame. One for @matthsheff.bsky.social.

Second post of extraordinary music today; Lankum’s reworking of Ghost Town is a rare treat. It starts as you’d expect, then mutates into something akin to Koyaanisqatsi era Philip Glass, then turns into a disco banger. Essential. youtu.be/aLLnF4vxaeY?...

As I'm nice and there's some new stuff on the horizon, I've reduced the full discography on Bandcamp down 80% to just £20 for the next few days. So get 20 years(!) worth of stuff for £20. Bargain! worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com

In case you missed it, @heycolossus.bsky.social dropped a 10 minute video featuring their live gigs in London last year, as well as the recording sessions for the new LP, Heaven Is Wild, in Christmas Day. The album is out at the start of the new year, I believe. youtu.be/0l4bfNn828A

Another near certainty for a top five finish; Daniel Avery’s excellent Tremor. His shoegaze album, with a whole host of excellent collabs. #5albums25

150

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

This will make my #5albums25 top 5, but will it occupy the number one spot? Still not 100% certain to be honest. Just Mustard’s We Were Just Here.

020

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Another fine #5albums25 contender; Pale Blue Eyes’ New Place, their third, sees their motorik shoegaze-y sound evolve once again. Bonus points for the new place in question being Sheffield.

0112

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

I’ve grown to really love the strangeness of Caroline’s sophomore album. Another strong contender for #5albums25. Best track - Total euphoria.

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

WE WERE MADE PREY. is definitely one of my favourites from 2025; two great live performances from @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social too at @krankenhausfest.bsky.social and in support of @mogwai.scot. A #5albums25 contender for sure.

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

A rather overlooked part of the Thom Yorke/Radiohead canon, in our house at least. A fine album nonetheless, and now a #5debutalbums1014 contender.

Another strong contender for a top five place in the #5debutalbums1014 voting. King Creosote and Jon Hopkins beautiful, poignant Diamond Mine.

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Daniel Avery’s Drone Logic. Very much in contention for a #5debutalbums1014 top five place.

091

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Also, I’m guessing this isn’t going to count as Lana Del Rey’s debut? @richards7370.bsky.social

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Important #5debutalbums1014 question. Are we treating this as the Parquet Courts’ debut album? There was definitely an album prior to this but it was tape only I think and only pressed to vinyl after this one.

250

Adam McAuley @adam0407.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

I seem to own plenty of 2010 debuts; not sure how many are likely to make the #5debutalbums1014 top five though. Definitely some I need to revisit.
