Doll Food

The sound of gentle singing voices choked in a sandstorm...a blissful, psychedelic acid trip with the natives from everywhere...seeing past the structures and into the ether...a collection of warbled samples, sounds, and textures as our shamanic guide horse.  It's all Doll Food.  Listen and trip to "Speed Freaks in Love" below and get the "Marrow Deep" cassette from Not Not Fun.

Coral Cross

Coral Cross is the metal-ish project of Jorge Elbrecht (formerly of Lansing-Dreiden)...and...goddamn, it's pretty rad.  "The Coldest Steel Across Your Face Slides" ebbs and flows, trading in periods of guitar bombast for quieter and proggier moments that give the track an ethereal vibe.  It's really good, and i hope more is on the horizon.  In the meantime, you can get the 7" from Mexican Summer.

Tim Hecker - Amps, Drugs, Mellotron

Speaking of free singles on Adult Swim, two weeks ago, the site released a haunting and beautiful track from experimental, drone, ambient artist Tim Hecker..."Amps, Drugs, Mellotron."  Looking to come down from the Sleep jam, then listen to this.

Sleep - The Clarity

Wanna hear the first new Sleep song in years?  Of course you do.  Well, slick your hair back out of your eyes, hit that gravity bong, grab a cheap beer, and let the stoner metal majesty of "The Clarity" wash over you in all of its 10-minute glory.  And, thanks to Adult Swim, you should be able to download this bad boy for free tomorrow.

Los Angeles Police Department

Hailing from LA (go figure), Los Angeles Police Department is a little, lo-fi candy for the soul.  Take a listen to the short and sweet pop nugget "She Came Through (Again)" from the forthcoming self-title LP on Forged Artifacts.

Cluster Buster

As per usual, some of our favorite music around these parts comes from a plethora of artists aping on the 80's horror movie synth score aesthetic.  The music seemingly creeps into my brainspace and stays there.  Cluster Buster already has one excellent release for 2014, and new album "Total Terror" just dropped this week on Future 80's.  Go here to download the album for the evil price of $6.66 and listen to "Female Protagonist" below.

RIP Tommy Ramone

RIP Tommy Ramone.  I realize i'm a week late with this, but i've been on vacation.  Bummer news.  It's hard to believe that they're all gone now.

Sorry Folks! Park's Closed

We're taking a breather here at the Incubator for the next week...but we'll be back, fresher than ever.

The moose out front should've told ya.

Fight Bite

It seems like we haven't heard from Queens by way of Denton, Texas dreampop duo Fight Bite in a while (2012 to be exact), what with Leanne Macomber gallivanting around with Joel Ford and making synth pop music as Ejecta.  Well, that may be remedied in the near future, as a "mixtape" of sorts has surfaced from Fight Bite, a collection of some stripped down odds and ends from the band called "Swissex Mixtape."  Listen to it below and download it here.

Conveyor

Ambient experimental band Conveyor provided a live score to screenings of George Lucas' 1971 film "THX 1138" in New York back in December and January.  New album "Prime" is a chronicle of those performances...and it's hypnotizing.  Playing like some kind of lost and droning krautrock masterpiece, "Prime" feels like staring into some synthetic abyss, a singular point of light just too far away to see.  Needless to say, it's fantastic.  Listen to "Theme I (Edit)" below and pre-order the album from Gold Robot Records.
