As we swiftly approach December, tonight is the second-last “new music” show of the year. There’s a lot of music coming out on December 5th! But then that’s it, the next 3 will be Best of 2025.
Keen listeners will be surprised that I’m mixing up the structure tonight. Really, it usually goes the way it goes due to thematic and tonal segues, and this time round, the jazz & ambient(ish) stuff just fitted best after our early songs, and the beats are the bulk of the second half.

READER’S NOTE: as I’m so far behind with my write-ups, I’m concentrating on the Best of 2025 posts, and will try to return to these for full text as soon as I’m able!
