There's no way I'm not going to check out that Jian Cui album. Those live noise recordings also sound absolutely fascinating.

I've been really into 33EMYBW's work for years and would love to find out more about her – maybe a subject for an interview or a longer artist story at one point?

Thanks for reading and commenting Stephan – always appreciated. Hope you enjoy the Jian Cui and Torturing Nurse et al records.

I’ve written a little bit about 33 in the newsletter before (with a link to an archive interview) but yes, she’s very much worthy of a longer, fuller piece at some point. Hopefully there’ll be a new album soon and I can tie something to that... For now, there’s this:

Much appreciated! Diving into this now. (Unfortunately the link to the archive interview seems dead though.)

Just realised that archive interview link is broken. Or rather, the site it was on is gone. Will see if I can find it on the Wayback Machine or something…

Yeah that would be cool, but no worries if not. Just realized I totally missed her 2023 album "Holes of Sinian" which even has a Marina Herlop feature on it. Need to get onto that...

Found it, though there’s a lot less to it than I remember, haha: https://web.archive.org/web/20100719042429/http://www.kungfuology.com/jakenewby/2009/10/a-little-bit-about-boojii.html

Holes of Sinian is well worth checking out
