Neon meate dream of a octafish

8:47AM

The new album by Krohme dropped last week - a fourteen-track showcase of aggro/industrial/psychedelic/boom bap hip hop with appearances by Kurupt, Apathy, Sage Frances, LMNO, Bizzy Bone, and a bunch bunch more.

If you grab the full album (digital, with CD and vinyl to follow), you just might get a bonus track of an alt take of "Mustard Gas" with me on vocals.

It's worth noting that 100% of the album's profits go to support the disabled, autistic, and neurodivergent communities through the Calm Bomb Collective non-profit.

Also worth noting: the Tied Hands continues its Emotions world tour through the rest of 2025, concluding in November in Coventry.

• Spaghetti Junction (highway underpass near Salford Circus, UK)

• Caught By the River - Scotland, UK

From penklinburn.com:

Each of the twelve steps lasts no more and no less than Forty Days & Forty Nights.

Each of the twelve steps is hosted by a different website.

On each of the twelve steps of EMOTIONS, the lineup of The Tied Hands transitions. As in no one living person is ever in The Tied Hands, for more than Forty Days & Forty Nights.

Over their tenure of being in The Tied Hands, each of the human members are invited and encouraged, or maybe even expected to...

Imagine, and then possibly record a recording, that has in some way been, motivated by The Shangri-Las record Past, Present & Future. A record that was first released in 1966.

The final step of the EMOTIONS tour of the World Wide Web will be marked on the 14th of November of 2025, on a website based under the Delia Derbyshire building in the English city of Coventry.

That marking may include the pressing of one thousand copies of a long-playing record containing all of the tracks recorded over The Tied Hands tour of the World Wide Web. This long-playing record will adopt the title of the tour, as in it will be EMOTIONS by The Tied Hands.

Also...

Versions of each of the posters will be printed and flyposted across the city of Coventry to celebrate the completion of The Tied Hands tour of the World Wide Web.
