Stay-In-Fest and the Bank Holiday are already in the rearview mirror, and we’re now inching toward autumn, and the usual packed release schedule as things ramp up again. Today I bring you a fully updated events listing, a host of releases today on Bandcamp Friday, and the first of my interviews from Stay-In-Fest fully transcribed.

In the meantime, here’s the usual wrap of new music and suchlike this week.

Look out, in a few months time, for the usual /amodelofcontrol.com round-up of 2021 – /Countdown. I’ll be looking at the best albums, best tracks, and best compilations and re-issues, on the Tuesdays in December up to Christmas.

/transmission – the amodelofcontrol.com podcast – has returned, continuing the run through of the a-z of industrial, with all episodes thus far are here. The latest episode is /transmission/024, which starts on the letter P. /transmission/025 will follow soon.

You can also get it via RSS, on iTunes, on Stitcher, and is also now available on the Google Podcasts App (search “amodelofcontrol”) and Spotify too.

If you want to submit anything to be included here? E-mail me (You know what to do with that to make it work, right?), comment/message on Facebook at the amodelofcontrol.com page, and over on Twitter (@amodelofcontrol).

/Releases out today or recently
A week off, and an awful lot to catch up on.

65daysofstatic / MIMIK /Bandcamp
The latest EP from the 65dos Wreckage Systems project
Matter / Raw Material /Bandcamp
A new release on ant-zen that takes in analogue electronics and rhythmic noise (and it’s great).
Martina Topley-Bird / Forever I Wait /Bandcamp
The first new album in a long time from this vocalist.
Sneaker Pimps / Squaring The Circle /Bandcamp
We’ve waited even longer for a new Sneaker Pimps album, but I can’t help but feel that it’s all a bit underwhelming.
Crystal Geometry / Distressing Visions /Bandcamp
One of the most enthralling artists working in the blurred lines between industrial and techno returns.
Meta Meat / infrasupra /Bandcamp
Not got round to listening to this one yet (it’s been a busy week), but tribal and first nation influences apparently wind around powerful industrial rhythms.
Alien Weaponry / Tangaroa /Bandcamp
One of the most striking young bands to surface in recent years, this young metal trio continue to fascinate as they integrate their Māori into fierce, slamming metal.
Carcass / Torn Arteries /Bandcamp
Talking of metal, the long-delayed new Carcass album is finally here.
Employed To Serve / Conquering /Bandcamp
The fourth album from the thrilling British hardcore band.
MONO / Pilgrimage of the Soul /Bandcamp
Japanese post-rock/post-metal band MONO have been going for well over two-decades now, and their eleventh album shows they still aren’t losing their touch.
Noise Unit / Deviator /Bandcamp
The first new Noise Unit album in sixteen years, that from the first few tracks, takes us back a bit further.
Various Artists / Forms of Hands 20 /Bandcamp
The 20th edition of the last word in noisy compilations.
Various Artists / Draven’s Mixtape​:​1994 Revisited /Bandcamp
Electronic Saviors turns to the Crow soundtrack for a quite great – and fascinating – modern look at an album that influenced so many.
Sofa / Source Crossfire /Bandcamp
The first ever release on Constellation gets a fresh look and much more.
Assemblage 23 / Failure (20th Anniversary Edition) /Bandcamp
Tom Shear’s breakthrough – and still much-loved – album gets a lavish reissue and remaster.

/Upcoming/Livestreams/Gigs/Club Nights/Events
Obviously, things change at short notice right now, and I’m updating events as they are postponed or cancelled, and also including relevant Livestreams as they are announced.

/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. I’m currently fixing a couple of minor backend issues, so new events may not be added promptly, or be added sporadically.

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.
