Following this thread to add to the reading list

After leaving Vienna, and long before you come to Budapest, @megapolisomancy.bsky.social · 15h

Let's say a person wanted to avoid other essays they were writing and started thinking about the current wave of New Weird descendants. Mordew, The Works of Vermin, Dawnhounds, the Tyrant Philosophers, City of Glass, what else? Maybe the Locked Tomb. Weird fiction in secondary cities, what've we got

After leaving Vienna, and long before you come to Budapest, @megapolisomancy.bsky.social · Sep 20

There’s “new weird”, and “the New Weird”

Broodcomb Press has a limited-time deal on a bundle of the four collections by "R. Ostermeier" - all tales from "the Peninsula" (and the pinnacle of today's weird fiction IMO); see broodcomb.co.uk?page_id=84 (postage outside UK & Europe is brutal, but better than 4 single packages)

From the liner notes: "IHTLP continues to draw nourishment from the radical past, cherry-picking and re-purposing scraps and slivers from a rag bag of forebears: Ornette, Don Cherry, Miles, Sun Ra, Laurie Anderson, Jon Hassell."

Bill Barnett @burlveneer.bsky.social · 4d

I Hold the Lion's Paw - Potentially Interesting Jazz Music - really great fusion of jazz and electronica from Melbourne quartet; "Progressive Opposition" (track 7) is a standout, and Emily Bennett gives a bravura vocal performance in "When the Earth and Sky Conspired" (track 9)

Universal Affirmation Ensemble - Unconditional Propositions - the band name and cover art say spiritual jazz, and it is there but overlaid on a post-rock base; cited influences are "Do Make Say Think, 1980's King Crimson, and Balinese Gamelan"
