The Setlist for April 18, 2025


Introduction

I have a very exciting new feature that’s coming next week: it’s called The Backstory and you’ll have to come back Monday for the Welcome Distractions post to learn more. It’ll probably run next Thursday.

Not much else to report. I’m seeing Drook this weekend.

Got a record I should hear? Let me know about it.

Standout tracks

“Two Alarms” by AtticOmatic
This is the second time AtticOmatic has been on the Setlist. Their sound is distinct and full of interesting arrangements.

“COMPLIMENTARY COLOURS” by Carlyn
Carlyn’s sinister and unpredictable sound on this song is irresistible.

“Acetone” by Chinese Medicine
How is it possible that Chinese Medicine hasn’t been featured here yet? Watch this space, I guess.
