No Joy - Bugland album cover with white and green splash vinyl variant.

'With IDM/maximalist/face-melting augur Fire-Toolz in tow, for an album with enough electronics to kill a horse, the coalition results in a sound that’s surprisingly natural – bristling, reactive and uncannily emotive'

Hate this for us

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper by Joseph Fasano Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work.

It's final paper season.
