Hello!
Once again, it's our monthly roundup and we're excited to share a couple of new Mirlo features, plus some of the other recent happenings from the team's birdhouse:
We wrote about every indie artist's go-to place, in Bandcamp In Flux.
Constellation have a bunch of excellent new releases on their page here.
Mirlo, Jam.coop and FairPlayer feature in this article by Ryan Blakeley for Music Ally.
Our Q2 finance report is now publicly viewable.
And whilst you're working your way through those, why not listen to all the #MirloMondays finds from August?
August 3rd 2026: The first #MirloMondays pick for August is just a single track, but really reflects our editorial ethos. We’ll let the artist explain:
“I am choosing to let this song exist where it can be seen, imperfect as it may be, because existing where we can be seen, imperfect as we are, is sort of the whole point.”
A hidden gem from brainfogg. Listen below. 💎🐦⬛
August 10th 2026: In a digital landscape that tends to be loud, competitive and PR-heavy, it brings us profound joy to discover releases that celebrate the very opposite of those things. And it always helps when those releases feature bird sounds too.
Listen to "houseboat (on a river of time)" below. ✔️🐦⬛
August 17th 2026: Today's #MirloMondays discovery is a release that combines endings and shifting fortunes with a hopeful, resilient outlook that builds over time. 🔗🐦⬛
This is "(Music for) Twelve Goodbyes" by Nathan Hewitt.
August 24th 2026: A sonic cut and paste that references Mark Fisher alongside YouTube clickbait and contains song titles such as "Feels Like Everybody's Given Up" and "Like Subscribe Outro"?
It must be today's #MirloMondays pick. This is Pölysormi, with "Ghosts of my Time". 🕰️🐦⬛
August 31st 2026: Mirroring the end of the summer holidays, we've picked a chillwave release that sounds like an obscure computer game soundtrack from the early 90s, where the final boss could well be a sun lounger.
For #MirloMondays today, here's "Beach Hotel" by Checker Board. Also available on baby blue cassette. 💙🐦⬛
Don't forget you can share your Mirlo news with us or discuss any of the things you've seen on our blog on the Social Web, Bluesky or Instagram. We're also on Discord and TSMN too!
