SUSS

New York trio SUSS are back in May with a new album of cosmic, ambient Americana, sweeping soundscapes for the plains with the upcoming "Counting Sunsets."  Check out the soothing and melancholy "Sunset II" below and pre-order the LP here from Northern Spy Records.

SUSS - This Land Is Your Land

On Monday, all the absolute worst people you know are going to be high-fiving each other and spewing hate at everyone who doesn't think or look just like them.  I think this somber, minor-key interpretation of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" by New York ambient country trio SUSS should soundtrack the whole affair perfectly.  Listen below and download it here from Northern Spy Records.

SUSS

New York ambient country trio SUSS have been making music together for a number of years now, and each new release just cements them as absolute masters of their craft.  Americana soundscapes for everyone!  Check out new song "Flight" below and pre-order the band's upcoming new album "Birds & Beasts" here from Northers Spy Records.

SUSS

Here's a piece of cold and depressed ambient country music from New York's SUSS.  The band has been dropping EP's since late last year that will all be compiled on their upcoming, self-titled album next month.  Listen to "Winter Was Hard" below and pre-order the record here from Northern Spy.

Psymon Spine

Psymon Spine are a New York band that blend electro-pop and post punk into something immediately toe-tapping and danceable.  And now, to really lean into that danceable aspect, last year's "Charismatic Megafauna" LP is getting the remix treatment with the upcoming "Charismatic Mutations."  Check out the "Jumprope (Love Injection Euphoric Mix)" below and feel those bliss-filled rave vibes.  And pre-order the album here from Northern Spy.

Horse Lords

It's hard to describe experimental Baltimore band Horse Lords' sound.  It's at time microtonal drone, and at others it's angular, mathy punk, along with flourishes of jazz, prog rock, and all around avant garde weirdness.  New album "The Common Task" is out now on Northern Spy.  Get it here and listen to the sprawling album closer "Integral Accident" below.

SUSS

Falling somewhere between the interstellar expanse of some new age planetarium soundtrack and the lonesome, wandering tunes of old west, the music on "High Line," the latest from New York band SUSS sounds like some lost Americana dream.  Songs that float in the air like dust, sun reflecting and refracting off of each particle, an open and immense world before us all.  Listen to "Wetlands" below and order the record here from Northern Spy.

Arnold Dreyblatt & Megafaun

Okay, so this one comes at you like a train running through your head.  Think of seeing the world through sepia tones while an Americana guitar jangle plays in the foreground.  Meanwhile, the thump, thump, clap, thump, clap precision of an almost Krautrock beat blasts in the background.  Vocals are useless and not needed.  The swirl of guitar, beat, and chimes and tones is the sound of the rails running through your brain, the sound of progress, the sound of the past colliding with the future.  And so we have the collaborative album "Appalachian Excitation" from Arnold Dreyblatt and Megafaun.  Listen to the clatter of "Home Hat Placement" below and get the album from Northern Spy.
