The Listening Club - 9th August 2026

Greetings folks,

Hope you're doing okay. Hot one here today in Amsterdam, and it's a day of doing for me, so let's get this tapped out early and struck off the do list, eh?

Last Sunday saw @ThatNewSound in the chair, delivering some modern art rock in the shape of William Doyle's "Your Wilderness Revisited" from 2019, which went down very well indeed with many of the assembled. Thanks extended for the pick, and for sailing the frisb across to @saucer, who's got this to say by way of introduction to today's pick...

"Even though the world was/is/always-will-be rough (Buddha, Kierkegaard, Bernd das Brot), lately it's a bit much with all the geopolitical bullshit, deadly climate change, AI-pilled VC money, ....

The dark pushes me toward distraction or catharsis, and that was the direction this week's pick was headed. 

But there's an album that's been on my rotation that looks at the light... by facing, engaging, standing tall.

So here you go. I hope this gentle labor of love inspires you even half as much as it does me. 

Drinking suggestion: something hydrating and tasty."

Right then, download's here, stream's below:

Hope to see you at 20:00 BST later today.
