Main Era

Boston band Main Era somehow manage to melt together every alternative rock subgenre from the last 40 years into one on their latest release, "IV of Wands."  It's all there: grunge, shoegaze, post punk, post rock, slowcore, emo, screamo, math rock, etc., etc., etc.  I believe i just found what i'll be jamming for the rest of the day.  Check out "Double Dragon" below and snag a copy of the album on cassette or CD here from Disposable America.

Shapes Like People

UK husband and wife duo Shapes Like People are set to release a new album of shoegaze and jangle-tinged dreampop with the upcoming "Under the Rainbow."  The record has an old school college radio vibe to it that gives me all the warm fuzzies.  Listen to "Find Me There" below and pre-order the LP here from the band.

Daily Jam - Roland

Interpol's debut album "Turn on the Bright Lights" is one of those records that always astounds me as to how old it currently is.  Like right now, it came out almost 24 years ago.  Holy shit!  Anyway, i still think it's an outstanding album start to finish.  Here's a track from it.  Listen to "Roland" below, our Daily Jam.

SPC ECO

SPC ECO, the prolific and dreamy, shoegaze and industrial-tinged electro-pop project of Curve's Dean Garcia and daughter Rose Berlin, just dropped new album "Broken" for our listening pleasure.  Listen to "Be Your Favourite" below an download the whole thing here.

Daily Jam - Heaven

It's freezing weather here in Central Texas for the next 48 hours or so, so i'm at home, bundled up, drinking coffee, watching college basketball, and pretty much doing a million other things to briefly distract myself from the state of things.  Here's some music by The Psychedelic Furs to further the distraction.  Listen to "Heaven" below, our Daily Jam.

TVAM

Here's some cool new music from Manchester band TVAM.  "Powder Blue" feels like a breezy mix of darkwave synth pop, shoegaze, and industrial alt-rock with some hints of gothic death rock.  Good stuff.  Listen to the track below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Ruins" LP here from Invada.

Friday Horror Trailer - Event Horizon

Daily Jam - Mr. November

It's probably not a popular opinion, by i think, that for the most part, the music of indie rock darlings The National is unbearably boring.  That being said, they do have a couple of tracks that manage to get me to change my mind.  Here's one of those non-boring ones.  Listen to "Mr. November" below, our Daily Jam.

Gregory Uhlmann

LA composer and multi-instrumentalist Gregory Uhlmann is set to drop new album "Extra Stars" in March, an experimental jazz opus.  Check out the Alabaster DePlume assisted "Lucia" below and pre-order the LP here from International Anthem.

Daily Jam - Elevation

Here's a great track from Television's classic "Marquee Moon" for your Thursday.  Listen to "Elevation" below, our Daily Jam.
