The Savage Young Taterbug

Here's some weird, lo-fi acid-country from The Savage Young Taterbug.  Full disclosure: i checked this one out solely because the artist is called The Savage Young Taterbug.  Check out Dropping Splinter into Baby's Palm" below and pre-order the upcoming 7" record here from Lighten Up Sounds.

Timothy Fife

For about a decade now (probably longer), i've been a big, big fan of the synthwave genre, all of that retro-futuristic synthesizer hum.  It hits me in all the right places, and as i've sampled music from here and there, the name Timothy Fife comes up a lot on various recordings and compilations...and with good reason too.  A synth wizard of sorts, the artist composes all manner of electro-soundscapes, imaginary soundtracks to get lost in for a while.  His latest, the "Hoici The Earless" album is a re-imagined score for the Japanese horror anthology "Kwaidan."  The whole thing was originally written and performed live at an event during SXSW in 2017, but has now made its way on to cassette courtesy of Lighten Up Sounds.  Listen to the whole thing below and snag a copy here.
