Prairiewolf

July brings us a new album from Colorado trio Prairiewolf.  The band crafts sweeping soundscapes utilizing elements of new age, ambient, psychedelia, Americana, jazz, and more.  Check out new tune "Burning Edges" below and pre-order the forthcoming "Zone Poems" LP here from Centripetal Force.

Tacoma Park

Here's a new track from North Carolina based experimental duo Tacoma Park.  I hear a lot of different things on "Untied," a mix of ambient country music, Americana, new age, krautrock, and a little bit of kosmische psychedelia.  It's cool and floaty.  Check it out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Baltimore" LP here from Centripetal Force.

Agnes Martian

Sit back, relax, and get ready to explore the universe with the planetarium sounds of Oakland band Agnes Martian.  The group's new album "Elsewhere" fuses electronica, jazz, kosmische psychedelia, new age, and library sounds into a sonic interstellar journey.  Check out "Cycle Heart Echo" below and order the LP here from Centripetal Force.

The Far Sound

The Far Sound is the project of Portland artist Rick Pedrosa.  New album "To Heart, To Earth" finds the artist traversing the sounds of ambient country music, psychedelic folk, and Americana that feels like watching clouds move over a vast plain.  Check out "Let Warmth Turn Inward" below and snag a copy of the LP here from Centripetal Force.

The Royal Arctic Institute

New York's The Royal Arctic Institute make ambient-flavored cosmic country for stargazing and long journeys through plains and prairies.  Listen to "Twigs of Cries, Feathers of Sobs" below and pre-order the band's upcoming self-titled LP here from Centripetal Force.

Prairiewolf

Colorado band Prairiewolf are back next month with new album "Deep Time" and some very Colorado-esque ambient Americana jams for your listening pleasure.  If something like "Revisionist Mystery" featuring Matt Loewen isn't the perfect accompaniment to staring off into the mountains and wilderness and the vast sky beyond, then i don't know what is.  Check it out below and pre-order the album here from Centripetal Force.

SOMA

Coming our way next month just in time for the spring equinox, Jersey band SOMA are releasing "Burning Is Learning," an album of devotional psychedelia to expand all the minds to.  The band's name is an acronym for Sacred Order of Mystic Apogees, so things are bound to get trippy.  Check out "Shivranjani" below and pre-order the record here from Centripetal Force.

Luke Schneider

Pedal steel guitarist and ambient country artist Luke Schneider just released new album "It Is Solved by Walking," five tracks of meditative bliss that sounds like the sun rising over creation (or a lot like the cover art).  Check out "Gloria" below and get the record here from Centripetal Force.

Prairiewolf

Been going a hundred miles an hour for what feels like an eternity.  Let's slow it down some with the far out sounds of Colorado's Prairiewolf.  The band makes a trippy mix of kosmische psychedelia and new age electronica that feels like vast soundscapes from other worlds.  Check out "Cogs" below and download the new self-titled album here from Centripetal Force.

Nashville Ambient Ensemble

Here's some beautiful new music from the Nashville Ambient Ensemble.  The group's new "Light and Space" album came out earlier this month.  Get it here from Centripetal Force and dig on the sweeping soundscape of "Gradient" below.

Gold Dust

Here's a new track from Americana-tinged psych folk artist Gold Dust.  "Proof of Life" sounds like it should be played loud in a sunny haze.  Check it out below, and get the lathe-cut 7" single and/or the upcoming "The Late Great Gold Dust" LP here from Centripetal Force.

Fanatism

Swedish psych rock band Fanatism are hitting us with new album "Inverted Evolution" next month, a mix of psychedelia, prog, and classic rock to expand our minds to.  Check out the thudding and hypnotic "Verkligheten" below and pre-order the album here from Centripetal Force.

Gerycz/Powers/Rolin

From Columbus, Ohio, the experimental trio of Gerycz/Powers/Rolin use hushed instrumentation to craft a kind of ambient, Americana drone.  The sound is akin to staring into the woods or the mountains or the night, trying to focus on something just out of visual distance.  Check out "Velvet" below featuring Dylan Baldi on saxophone and order the "Beacon" LP here from Centripetal Force.
