5 Tewns Vol.13

Read Time: 2 mins

I’m a little late as i’m a bit poorly at the moment, nevertheless, here’s my top five tracks for this week…

Harvestman – Herne’s Oak

This deep, meditative track from Neurosis’ Steve Von Till — under his Harvestman project — has been soundtracking my misty morning dog walks all week. There’s a real brilliance in the way a solitary kick holds everything else in a sidechained push–pull during the intro, slowly guiding you into an epic drift through dark and light. It’s especially perfect for this time of year, watching the swollen river tear through the valley.

The Volume Settings Folder – Corporate Shamanism

The title track from The Volume Settings Folder’s latest album, ‘Corporate Shamanism’, on Lincolnshire’s White Lab Records, is an exercise in heartbreak-inducing, fractured, echoic magic and melancholy.

Llyn y Cwn – Barclodiad Uncovered

I only stumbled across this late last night during a random megalith-related search. Taken from Llyn Y Cwn’s 2025 dub reworking of 2024’s ‘Megaliths’, it’s exactly the kind of deep, hypnotic stuff I’d want in my ears while entering a burial chamber. Proper headphone music!

MARAUDEUR – EC Blah.Blah

Wickedly disjointed post-punk aus Leipzig — angular bass, mega dry surf-rock drums, strange discordant refrains, and shouty, snarky vocals drenched in a world of echo and weirdo synth flourishes. It’d be hard not to love it.

Jon Da Silva – Look At The Owl

Absolutely filthy, nightmare-inducing acid business from Jon Da Silva, taken from the latest Metro Jaxx sampler. As I write this, my seven-year-old is losing his shit dancing to it, so it’s 10’s across the board.
