In the spirit of the season of giving, I present to you a 2 hour "festive" edition of The Tump Clump.
No gimmicks, no extra special treats, just 2 hours of dismal sounds to assist with powering us through the dark months and the silly season.
The elves and piskies at SoundArt Radio saw it fit to first broadcast the show on Christmas Day nonetheless, and as per usual you can now find it archived on Mixcloud here.
So as I say, nothing particularly Christmassy, just a chance to dig a little deeper in the vaults and pick out a few slightly longer tracks than usual, and maybe play a few bits from my favourite releases and artists of 2025 and the past few years,
A nice offering of the usual blend of drone, noise, experimental electronics and anything else that takes my fancy. Don't expect any nice twinkling melodies or catchy tunes here im afraid.
The Tump Clump #54 - 25/12/25
Metgumbnerbone - Hoblin's Ebe (Anthropoligical Field Recordings For The Dispossessed) - Café Europa 2020.
LORN - MAROONED (Vessel LP), Self Released 2015.
Hoodrah Messiah - Smooth Sailing Divorce Radio, (Split w/ The Owl), Outsider Industries 2025.
NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONTH (Part 1, and not really a compilation, but feels like it given its HUGE) - a 4-way Split from Distraxi, Monika Badly, Romxn, Noise {Hz}. Over 100 minutes of searing noises and pain and doomy harshness. Frequent listeners of the show will know im a big fan of these artists as well as the Eggy Tapes project so this had to feature....
Distraxi - Hicksite Waiting Outdoors (4-way split ) - Eggy Tapes 2025.
Monika Badly - The Forest At Night (4-way split) - Eggy Tapes 2025.
Sebastian Tomb - Bangles (Homicide Costume), Self Released 2025.
LEE RILEY - UNDOING THESE KNOTTED TIMES (FROM HERE WE ARE NOWHERE LP) - Eyeless Records 2023.
RELEASE OF THE YEAR - The accolade goes to this wonderfully dark album that surprises me every time I listen to it. A dark dismal soundtrack to a horror movie that needs to exist. Twists and turns all along the way, sounding massive and deadly all at once. Possibly also on my LABEL OF THE YEAR if I were to have one. Fencepest, take a bow. or don't.
fencepest - bloom_I (bloom & decay), Inner Demons Records 2025.
La Brea Pulpit - Bluntdestroyer (Anandamide Aberration), Liquid Library 2025.
O Ratel Ratel - Zoölogie (Zomerzonde), Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere 2017.
Jay Tripwire - Hoia Baciu Forest (For David Lynch), Self Released 2024.
NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONTH (Part 2) - Adventurous Music 5th Anniversary Compilation - from Leipzig, Germany.
Laure Boer & Conure - Midtown Sea (AM 5th Anniversary) - AM 2024.
SUFRD & fencepost - A88SRV3T4MR (AM 5th Anniversary) - AM 2024.
(I thought Fencepest was the same as Fencepost but its not - but it kinda of is! Fencepost + Pestzone = Fencepest, so this is a different collaborative offering from FP).
Shaun Robert - expel (unbecoming), Self Released, 2015.
Su Sous Toulouse en Rouge - Gumbo-Limbo (Eadem Mutata Resurgo), Forever Escaping Boredom, 2024.
Trou Aux Rats - Mes mains sur ta seconde peau de cuir (Le Cloaque Apres La Romance), At War With False Noise, 2020.
So thats it for 2025, another year ticked off. Proud to have supported all these artists and labels in their quests for bringing new sounds to the world. I shall try again in 2026.
