Proper Halloween vibes here from Never the Bridle, out today.
Listen to it, because your life might just depend on it (or you know, just listen because it’s good!)

My witchy rock song has had a makeover for Halloween 🧙♀️ Under the alternative title 'Hail the Witch', it's been remixed and mastered by Marc Jackson @syncmusiclab.bsky.social. The quieter B side is new track 'Strings'.

I used to love hearing Ben Kweller play 'Problems' live in the 2000s. It's not on streaming so I got it secondhand from the US on CD a few years back. Last year BK gave me permission to cover it, and here it is, newly mixed and mastered by the ace @flamingjangle.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/25j26sm4

Never The Bridle just released this on the Spotifies … it was great to begin with, but this remixed version is greater. Spiky, punky, indie, punch-you-in-the-face music, filled with harmonies to help you get through Friday and flick the Vs to the general situation.

Last March I put an album on @bandcamp.com for the first time. It was mostly recorded on a £100 electric guitar with Ableton drum clips. Now with drums and production from @bathdrummer.bsky.social, Eldest Daughter Energy is reborn!

Nice Bandcamp review 😊
“DRONESHIP delivers a synthwave cocktail that's equal parts soundscape and soundtrack, served with a generous helping of 80s nostalgia. Playful analog synths bounce off a solid beat, punctuated by quirky English accent monologue clips – it's proper brilliant!” Droneship.uk

Hey Bluesky, my first post – I like making music, historically dark folk/lo-fi, but I took a left-turn into synthwave territory after getting really into it.
I made an EP, which you can hear at droneship.uk (there’s a video too). I’d love it to be heard, but I’d love to hear your stuff too!
