What are you treating yourself to for Bandcamp Friday?

If you’re into incredibly uncomfortable listens (as you’ve probably guessed based on previous posts: I am), might I suggest Piss’ you made me / skin on linen. To soothe my frayed nerves after another spin of that, I’ll probably need to pick up the new William Basinski as well.
