Here's one of my favourite Brian Wilson stories. Legend has it that Brian co-produced his now classic song Sail On Sailor over the phone, listening to the playback and giving instructions to his brother Carl through 1970s telecommunication technology. ☎️

Spring + Brian Wilson

The Gateway Tape is coming on July 18th via Strategic Tape Reserve. It is much weirder than previous Phirnis releases - imagine ambient music trying to remember itself after a system crash. Listen to our two preview tracks now! 😵‍💫 strategictapereserve.bandcamp.com/album/the-gate…

The guy who plays mouth organ on this new Leper Colony song was my favourite author for the German edition of Metal Hammer magazine until he completely disappeared from music writing, only to re-emerge now, 30 years later, as a mouth organ player. 😅🙏 youtu.be/YXCUJIuYgoc

Werner Herzog was here (in 1979).

Here's a new review of The Gateway Tape, an "incredibly varied album filled with glitches, skips, and abrupt shifts" and "an overall trend towards calmer and more subtle atmospheres as the album progresses" - thank you, Lars and Fringes of Sound. 🙏🙏 onthefringesofsound.com/2025/07/phirni…

This opening theme for German crime series Tatort by jazz musician Klaus Doldinger has remained completely unchanged for 55 years. youtu.be/k0pV2faxne4

Here's my hot take - Happy is an amazing production. Robert Wyatt has expressed his admiration for the song and I think he's right. The sentiment is just fine - nothing wrong with a little bit of happiness.
