Today is the last Bandcamp Friday of 2025, but it’s the first Bandcamp Friday where you can support Local Files Club! For the uninitiated: on Bandcamp Friday, Bandcamp waives its revenue share. That means that 100% of any purchase you make on Bandcamp today will go directly to the artist.

So, obviously, if you haven’t bought [*Ms. Shipton’s Travelling Tea Shop*](https://localfilesclub.bandcamp.com/album/ms-shiptons-travelling-tea-shop?ref=localfiles.club) yet, today is a fantastic day to do it! Here’s what Meadowsweet\_and\_Magic wrote about *Ms. Shipton*: “This is a brilliant piece of audio, fantastically written! The sound editing is \*chefs kiss*\** a work of art.” I couldn’t agree more!

If you have already purchased *Ms. Shipton*—thank you, by the way—there are a ton of other amazing audiodramas and experimental audio works that you can support on Bandcamp. Here are just a few suggestions.

## The Tower

[The Tower - Part I - Complete Series by Tin Can Audio](https://tincanaudio.bandcamp.com/album/the-tower-part-i-complete-series?ref=localfiles.club) 

First, a shoutout to Amber Devereux’s *The Tower*, which just wrapped up with a [two-part finale](https://tincanaudio.bandcamp.com/album/the-tower-finale-complete-series?ref=localfiles.club) last month. This experimental audio fiction concept album is a strange and immersive journey up a tower littered with payphones. While *The Tower* is available via typical podcast channels for free, Tin Can Audio have the series on Bandcamp for listeners who a) want to support the show monetarily and b) get the high-quality audio files. And with sound design and music like this, you’re going to want the high-quality files.

## The Perfect Sentence

[The Perfect Sentence by Jeff Van Dreason](https://jeffvandreason.bandcamp.com/album/the-perfect-sentence?ref=localfiles.club) 

Another audio fiction concept album—go figure—from [*Greater Boston*](https://www.greaterbostonshow.com/?ref=localfiles.club) co-creator Jeff Van Dreason. [*The Perfect Sentence*](https://jeffvandreason.bandcamp.com/album/the-perfect-sentence?ref=localfiles.club) follows Jeff as he interrogates his feelings around the loss of an old high school friend. It’s a blend of memoir, personal essay, fiction, and music that you won’t soon forget. Bonus: the music was co-written and performed by Oliver Morris, the writer, director, and composer of *Ms. Shipton’s Travelling Tea Shop*.

## Night Swim

[Night Swim by Dane Terry](https://daneterry.bandcamp.com/album/night-swim?ref=localfiles.club) 

If you love Dane Terry’s [*Dreamboy*](https://www.nightvalepresents.com/dreamboy?ref=localfiles.club)—and you should, you should absolutely love *Dreamboy*—you owe it to yourself to listen to [*Night Swim*](https://daneterry.bandcamp.com/album/night-swim?ref=localfiles.club). It’s almost like a *Dreamboy* bonus track. We start with an impeccably sound designed and soundtracked story about young Dane meeting a boy at a public night swim. Halfway through, it transforms into a gorgeous song that fully realizes the imaginary world the two boys created. It clocks in at just over 10 minutes, but fair warning: you’re going to want to put it on repeat.

## it was always worth it

[it was always worth it by claire rousay](https://clairerousay.bandcamp.com/track/it-was-always-worth-it?ref=localfiles.club) 

Musician and artist Claire Rousay coined the term “emo ambient” to describe her work, and if you’re wondering what she means by that, I think this self-contained, 20-minute composition is the perfect introduction. Composed of synthesizer sounds, field recording, and text-to-speech readings of love letters, [*it was always worth it*](https://clairerousay.bandcamp.com/track/it-was-always-worth-it?ref=localfiles.club) is unlike any “breakup album” you’ve ever heard before.

## DOG FM

[DOG FM by Oliver Chapman & Phoebe Eccles](https://penultimatepress.bandcamp.com/album/dog-fm?ref=localfiles.club) 

This is one of my favorite releases of 2025\. A collaboration between field recording artist Oliver Chapman and poet Phoebe Eccles, [*DOG FM*](https://penultimatepress.bandcamp.com/album/dog-fm?ref=localfiles.club) is a travelog into the surreal. While there is some dialogue—a doomed family car trip anchors the piece—the “story” of *DOG FM* is entirely up to how you interpret the sounds, music, and poetry. I’ve been listening to this a lot while drifting off to sleep, which probably biases my own interpretation and influences my dreams.
