A quieter release period this time around, although a good number of autumn releases are currently being announced. Next week I’ll be at the relocated Infest in Manchester, for my 25th visit to the festival (including two online versions) – expect coverage on /amodelofcontrol after the event. In the meantime, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches post /600 this coming week.
This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who sends me new music and events, keeps me up to speed, and indeed simply reads these posts.
/amodelofcontrol.com now has a Patreon page, at this stage purely as a potential way of helping to cover the running costs of the site. There is absolutely no compulsion to do so: if you feel you can chuck a small amount to the site each month, that would be appreciated.

/Releases out today or recently
/Album of the Week
08-Aug 2025 / Slighter / In Ruins / Bandcamp
The new album from Slighter is a thumping, powerful album that is much more direct than before, but retains the extraordinary attention to detail that has been the hallmark of previous releases.

01-Aug 2025 / Where We Sleep / Write My Name (feat. Ms. Mohammed) / Bandcamp
A new fundraising single from Where We Sleep with Ms. Mohammed collaborating, that is fierce and uncompromising.

/Upcoming Compilations, Live Albums, Reissues
14-Nov 2025 / doves / So, Here We Are: Best of doves / Official Artist Store
Marking twenty-five years of this much-loved band, interestingly the tracklist hasn’t yet been revealed.
/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
/amodelofcontrol.com continues to maintain an events calendar, but it has now moved to /amodelofcontrol.com/events – and is now a dynamic, searchable database, and you can add individual events to your own calendars. The listing has had a revamp and redesign (and I’m re-adding events, so it’s a bit of a work in progress).
If you have updates, relevant events for me, or want to tell me about something else, use the contact details above. It goes without saying that any gig or club still in the listing is subject to change at short notice, or may not happen at all.
