Today is the first @Bandcamp Friday for a while and we are going to be adding and announcing a few items throughout the day.

Keep an 👀 on the thread below 👇
We have two new variants of our classic SHOEGAZER T-shirts in colours voted for by you lot.

Black shirts with a @pantone 225 pink print and yellow shirts with @pantone 165 orange, expertly screen printed by @Vinosangre on @GildanOnline Softsyle shirts in sizes S to 4XL...
They’re available to pre-order for one day only (until @Bandcamp Friday ends tomorrow at 8am UK time) here: soniccathedral.bandcamp.com/merch/shoegaze…
The Dummy compilation ‘Dumb EPs’ is out today!

It compiles the LA band’s two EPs from 2020 and there are a handful of copies of the toxic yellow @Bandcamp version left.

The regular green vinyl is available from all good record shops now.

The band will also have some copies for sale on their EU and UK tour dates which start next week.

We are co-promoting the London show at @Studio_9294 on September 20 with @BadVibesUK and it will double up as a record release party.

Tickets: dice.fm/event/adqlx-du…
Should’ve mentioned that the Dummy release has been remastered for vinyl by the one and only @_SimonScott @MasteringSps 🙌
Coffee break. Back here at 10...
‘Cold Stones’ – the closing track from XAM Duo’s recent album ‘XAM Duo II’ – has been remixed by legendary electronic artist and DJ @mrjamesholden!
He has taken the original’s calming, comedown energy and transformed it into an epic journey, which somewhere around the five-minute mark comes right back up... xammusik.bandcamp.com/track/cold-sto…
“It didn't turn out quite how I expected, but as they say the sculpture is already in the stone, we just have to find it,” says @mrjamesholden.

“It's like the most rave thing I’ve done for ages and also not rave at all, like a blurry dream about a rave?”
It’s out on all streaming services and @Bandcamp now.

More at 11. Hold your horses...
Actually, inexplicably, there are a few copies of the @Bandcamp exclusive green vinyl pressing of ‘XAM Duo II’ left here, plus tapes and CDs: xammusik.bandcamp.com/album/xam-duo-…
XAM Duo follow-up ‘XAM Duo II’ with a new EP of remixes.

‘XAM Duo RMX’ is released on limited-edition 10” vinyl and digitally on October 21.

Pre-order from @bandcamp and all good record shops here: linktr.ee/xamduormx
It features the previously announced “rave dream” reworking of the album’s closing track, ‘Cold Stones’, by legendary electronic artist and DJ, @mrjamesholden as well as mixes by @earlyyearsband and Richard Pike.
The former resurface after another lengthy hiatus and reframe ‘LGOC’ as a divine astral jazz / krautrock crossover, while the latter turns ‘Blue Comet’ into a glitchy and discordant soundtrack to the best 1980s computer game you never played...
“It’s lovely to hear three different interpretations of songs that we already tend to keep quite loose and elastic,” says Matthew Benn.

“These remixes feel like a natural extension of the music on the album, like they're from the same world, but perhaps in a different language.”
Aaaaand I didn't tag @_richardpike in the above ramble, but his remix is incredible 🙌
The new @talktopeters album ‘Red Sunset Dreams’ is released in two weeks’ time (September 16).

There are a few copies of the @Bandcamp exclusive orange and red vinyl version left, so why not grab one today as it’s #BandcampFriday?

mark-peters.bandcamp.com/album/red-suns…
If you need convincing, here’s a snippet of another one of the tracks. This is ‘Golden Cloud’, which was the real name of Roy Rogers’ horse, Trigger...
The album is inspired by the symbiotic relationship of Western movies / country music and the northwest of England.

Roy Rogers and Trigger visited Liverpool in 1954 and even stayed in the city’s Adelphi hotel.

(They weren’t bothered by the two-star rating on Tripadvisor)

That's all we have for @Bandcamp Friday – off to buy a few things myself now. Thanks to anyone who’s bought anything, it all helps! 🙏

This is a clip from the beautiful ‘Silver River’, a track from the forthcoming @talktopeters album ‘Red Sunset Dreams’.

It features the legendary BJ Cole on pedal steel and had its first airing on our @sohoradio show the other night. Listen again here: mixcloud.com/sohoradio/soni…
@talktopeters @sohoradio The song was inspired by a US road-trip that Mark went on back in 1999, during which he stayed in a small town in California called Bishop... Image
When he recalled this as he was putting together the album – which is all inspired by our view of America as a means of escape from humdrum Britain – it turned out that Errol Flynn had filmed a Western there in 1948. It’s title? ‘Silver River’. Image

Five minutes until the time machine departs for 1991 as we host the after work drinks for @thesociallondon.

It's essentially a straight choice between Jermaine Jenas and Kevin Shields...
@thesociallondon Right, here's the link to tonight’s tape.

Press play at 6pm, and let's head back to the halcyon days of 1991 when Bruce Dickinson could tour in Europe without any issues (the prick): mixcloud.com/soniccathedral…
We open with the late, great John Peel talking about @MBVofficial in 1991 and seeing them having three albums in the charts simultaneously in, ooh, about 30 years’ time…
