The Big Playback
One thing that can’t be overstated is Albini’s band Big Black’s influence on underground music. Beginning with his first self-produced EP, Lungs, Albini mined a corrosive style of punk that dripped with antagonism and pitch-black humor. Albini was a terrific writer, not only about music and culture, but also the hardboiled scenarios he molded into some of the most impactful character-driven songs
Bandcamp Fridays in 2024
We are happy to announce that Bandcamp Fridays will continue in 2024.

The Boundless Possibilities of Modern J-Pop
When considering J-pop today and what caused it to sprout—and delineate itself—from the city pop that defined the backend of Japan’s post-war period, it’s worth looking at economics and sociology.

A Brief Introduction to Southeast Asian Post-Rock and Math Rock « Bandcamp Daily
Hauste In western countries, “post-rock” has been around since the mid ‘90s; according to lore, journalist Simon Reynolds coined the term to describe the U.K. band Bark Psychosis’ 1994 album Hex.
