Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 7hBill Orcutt & Mabe Fratti's 'Almost Waking' There's an unusual, for Orcutt, sense of purpose to be found in his second album of 2026. One could idly wonder if the collaborations created either accountability or reason. tQ26.H.18 - Ignore. 010
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 30/09/2026Dry Cleaning's 'Secret Love' Observational anthropology covering the detail of western middle-class suburban anxiety is rarely this beautiful. tQ26.H.19 - Buy. 001
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 29/09/2026PVA's 'No More LIke This' Three a.m. at the breakfast bar talking over the night. Four a.m. at the open fridge door slow dancing the present. tQ26.H.20 - Buy. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 28/09/2026Xaviersobased's 'Xavier' A catalytic shift, less so for the artist, more for the industry. Resolutely exploratory and musical art-rap posted under a well-funded major label promotion. So why cling to whinging misogyny? tQ26.H.21 - Explore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 27/09/2026Horse Lords' 'Demand To Be Taken To Heaven Alive!' Horse Lords continue their meticulous research into microtonal, polyrhythmic art-jazz, eschewing fripperies of the flesh to concentrate fully on challenging the intellectual basis of music theory. tQ26.H.22 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 26/09/2026Hyper Gal's 'Our Hyper' You are on a fairground ride. It's going faster than rated. You hear another bolt fizz through the air. The attendants are chant rapping at you through a clipping amp. They aren't reassuring. tQ26.H.23 - Explore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 25/09/2026ABADIR's 'The Primitivist' A harum-scarum tumble through Middle Eastern music traditions plants its feet on clubland dance floors in heroic landing pose.

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 24/09/2026Joshua Chuquimia Crampton's 'Anata' It's not just the guitars. Everything on this album sounds like it's being sculpted with a chainsaw. tQ26.H.25 - Ignore. 011
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 23/09/2026Foetus' 'Halt' A state of the world address which ends with an introspective glance at Thirlwell's own life and decisions. It's wrapped as a bombastic movie soundtrack which leans toward Bond and westerns. tQ26.H.26 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 22/09/2026EarthBall's 'Actual Earth Music: Volume 3 & 4' Art noise jazz as a vehicle for sonic oppression is certainly one way to improvise a couple of live sets. tQ26.H.27 - Ignore. 000

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 19/09/2026YHWH Nailgun's 'Magazine' A singer at the edge of VO2max and distressed found sounds, which include, perhaps, wedding bells and warehouse sleds, are wrapped into short, spiky math rock art things. tQ26.H.30 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 18/09/2026Irmin Schmidt's 'Requiem' You sit. By a beaver dam in Vermont or falling snowmelt in Moiwa. Birdsong and frog chitter.

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 17/09/2026Bergrún Snæbjörnsdóttir's 'Skinweeper' Three acts where you circle snatches of disquiet, emerge onto the cavort of bio-industrial predation, and dissolve into its being where, as one, you await the next traveller, your preferences subsumed. tQ26.H.32 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 16/09/2026Sideshow's 'Tigray Funk' You wake in a full room, someone laughs "hey" and others hail your red eye; voices wooozy, discussing politics, the night before, reasons to change, parables from home, beats snagging concentration. tQ26.H.33 - Buy. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 15/09/2026Neurosis' 'An Undying Love For A Burning World' A soundtrack for this remarkable age of extremes, in which we seek to excise everyone left of the upper hinge, while trying to destroy the virtues that hinge depends on. tQ26.H.34 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 14/09/2026Juni Habel's 'Evergreen In Your Mind' A pretty sadness; beautiful folk from another century describing age old conundrums that stem from from desires involving others. tQ26.H.35 - Explore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 13/09/2026Kristen Gallerneaux's 'Life Day' A celebration of the sun risen from the darkest night; birdsong and gamelan, tape hiss and crickets, squeeze box and squeals. The vibrancy given to mortality deferred. tQ26.H.36 - Buy. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 12/09/2026Bad Mothers Union's 'Sore Losers' You are sat on a beer whiffy couch in the rehearsal room above a pub. It's hard to hear your mate so you lapse into a nodding reverie for afternoons lost to rolling psychedelic jams. tQ26.H.37 - Buy. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 11/09/2026K Wata's 'Give U Space' Sonically, this the kind of dub that feels like being under a weighted blanket on a comfy sofa while reading a book... the book is about reconciling your flooding love for an ebbing partner. tQ26.H.38 - Buy. 001

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 10/09/2026FRANTX's 'IDUTYDU' It's certainly frantic... perhaps an exercise in over-communication following some miscommunication trauma. Like an Ableton snow globe. tQ26.H.39 - Ignore. 020
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 09/09/2026Pat Thomas & XT's 'Strata, Act (Joy Contemporary)*' Live recordings of the kind of jazz you need formal training to appreciate. The Zurich synths intrigue while the London recording's audience dog is having a whale of a time. tQ26.H.40 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 08/09/2026Kim Gordon's 'PLAY ME' Guitars kennelled, synths given their head, sloganeering couplets cued to ape doom scrolling the concerns of microblogged social politics. It's all quite upsetting. tQ26.H.41 - Ignore. 010
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 07/09/2026By Storm's 'My Ghosts Go Ghost' This starts with a eulogy for a fallen friend, then expands into accompanied poetry and beatless rap without ever leaving the mood. Like a sober wake. tQ26.H.42 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 06/09/2026Remy Solar's 'Heavy Terrain' Yes, it's heavy; it's dub.

Despite that power its manipulation is airy and precise. tQ26.H.43 - Buy. 010
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 05/09/2026Zahn's 'Purpur' A solid rhythm section chugs down the middle lane like a truck on a motorway. Twiddly prog guitar becomes a two-stroke bike buzzing around the implacable lorry. A destination of sorts is reached. tQ26.H.44 - Ignore. 000

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 01/09/2026Phillip Golub's 'Partisan Ship' Having maxed out discernible count in the note wars, this jazz clamour adds noise synth to provide another axis to climb. tQ26.H.48 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 31/08/2026Converge's 'Love Is Not Enough' High-trebel, high-cadence hardcore punk breaks the rage at "Gilded Cage" to show something a little more personal and the whole thing becomes more about us than object. tQ26.H.49 - Ignore. 000

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 25/08/2026Hey Colossus' 'Heaven Was Wild' A comparatively poppy affair. The heavyness makes itself known through a lightness born from hard to remember callbacks to a time of song. tQ26.H.55 - Buy. 120
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 24/08/2026Faucheuse's 'Comme Un Poignard' Tight, competent punk rock. You might think the French language adds mystery. And it does. For a bit. But it's punk. So you kinda know what it's sayiny. tQ26.H.56 - Ignore. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 23/08/2026Mark Jenkin's 'Rose Of Nevada (Original Score)' I listen to this and immediately want to see the movie. It smells of ocean and cuts like barnacles. tQ26.H.57 - Explore. 000

Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 21/08/2026The Femcels' 'I Have To Get Hotter' There's something delicious about zeitgeist-maxxing; insincerely mocking your own culture's delusions in performing them so perfectly that it's more "how-to" than satire. You can't do it like them, obvs. tQ26.H.59 - Buy. 000
Pooh Sticks @dynamicalsystem.com · 20/08/2026Hen Ogledd's 'Discombobulated' A dizzied mixture of anti-capitalist medieval rap, raging drum protest, Welsh language song and the observation that truth isn't fact. tQ26.H.60 - Ignore. 011
