Totally knocked out at the sheer talent of Archie @stoneanthem.bsky.social who treated us to a set that ranged from beautiful ambience to Beach Boys infused experimental pop to thumping beats and Sonic Boom / Spectrum wooziness. So honoured to have supported!

There's an excellent live review of @linesofsilence.com here, courtesy of Andy Brown at @louderthanwar.bsky.social, from when they played at Hyde Park Book Club earlier this month. They're a wonderfully engaging and immersive live act and we can't wait to see them again.

This is actually a really great idea - albums released as sleeve and artwork only with a download code. What do you think?
