Peaking Lights

Here's a new tropical-flavored, low-tech jam from perennial crate diggers Peaking Lights.  "Breakdown" comes from the duo's upcoming "Cosmic Logic" LP out in October on Weird World, and it kind of sounds like walking through a dusk-lit pool party in slow motion, strutting, nodding, drinking.  Listen below.

Captain Murphy

Adult Swim continues its amazing and interesting Singles series with a new from Flying Lotus alter-ego Captain Murphy up for grabs this week.  "Cosplay" is a weird and stoney jam perfect for any nefarious late-night shenanigans.  Get it here and listen below.

Botanist

The bay area seems to be churning out a vast array of black metal-inspired music of late.  Experimental band Botanist drape the aesthetic over their driving mix of drone and electronics for a wonderful and captivating listening experience.  Check out "Callistemon" from new album "VI: Flora" below and grab the album here from The Flenser.

You'll Never Get To Heaven

Aside from having an excellent band name, London, Ontario's You'll Never Get To Heaven have a woozy and dreamy aesthetic, swooping, ethereal dreampop to just sail away to.  The band's "Adorn" EP is available now on Psychic Handshake Records, but go ahead and listen to the lovely title track below.

Pharmakon

Here's a new and noisy new mindfuck from one-woman experimental artist Pharmakon.  "Body Betrays Itself" comes from new album "Bestial Burden" out in October on Sacred Bones...just in time for Halloween.  Listen below.

Deers

Somehow i missed out on the debut 7" from Madrid's wonderful garage band Deers.  "Demo" is a lo-fi dream, two tracks that sound like they were recorded in minutes and then unleashed upon an unsuspecting populace, 60's throwback jams to put smiles on all of your faces.  Sadly, the record is now sold out from Mom + Pop Records, but you can still grab the digital tunes here.  Listen to "Bamboo" below.

Vaniish

In the mood for some good, moody, goth synth-pop that owes its existence to The Cure?  Sure you do.  Vaniish hale from San Francisco and features Keven Tecon (formerly of The Soft Moon).  The band's debut album "Memory Work" is dark and vast and feels like it should be jamming in some dank, smoky warehouse party somewhere on the outskirts of town.  Listen to the title track below and get the album from Metropolis Records.  You can also grab the album on vinyl here.

Flying Lotus

Flying Lotus has a new album coming out in October on Warp called "You're Dead!"  Here's a video teaser.  Hooray!

Tomahawk - South Paw video (Mike Patton as a puppet!)

Last year, Mike Patton's Tomahawk project released their fourth album "Oddfellows."  Today, i was informed that album standout "South Paw" had a music video featuring the band as puppets.  It's kind of terrifying, but totally awesome too.  This information came to me from my wife because she is cooler than you or i will ever be.  Watch below and get the album on Ipecac.

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness

So, it's kind of weird, but just the other day, i was listening to a bunch of CD's that i haven't listened to in years, and one of those albums was Austin gothic post-punk band I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness' 2006 LP "Fear Is on our Side."  While listening, i wondered whatever happened to them...and lo and behold, here is a new song from the upcoming follow-up "Dust."  Listen to "Faust" below and get the new LP from Secretly Canadian in October.
