Wooden Shjips

Psych rock band Wooden Shjips have been kicking around for a few years now, and their latest release, "V." finds them broadening their sound into ever mind-expanding territories.  Listen to the chilled and oozing "Staring at the Sun" below and get the record here via Thrill Jockey.

Nothing

Hey, Nothing has a new album of shoegazey metal coming out this August.  Watch the video for moody first single "Zero Day" below and pre-order the upcoming "Dance on the Blacktop" LP here from Relapse.

Suspiria Trailer

I'm not against remakes, as i've enjoyed far, far too many of them to ever be so bold...but i'll admit that i had reservations aplenty when news first started to come out about a "Suspiria" remake.  I may have rolled my eyes.  But then i'd hear some casting news (Tilda Swinton!), or that Thom Yorke was providing the score, or that critics and viewers had had quite the visceral reaction to a scene premiered at a film convention, and i thought that maybe we're on to something here.  Maybe it's going to be alright.  And then yesterday the first trailer dropped, and i am in.  I mean, just look at this thing.



I love that they've kept a certain '70s horror aesthetic to the proceedings, and the atmosphere looks heavy and foreboding.  I love, love, love what i'm seeing here, and am now completely on board.  Get this film in front of my eyes stat!

Wild Nothing

It appears we've got some new and hazy dreampop heading our way at summer's end from Wild Nothing.  "Letting Go" is all airy retro-synth pop vibes with a sun tinted sheen on top, the perfect song for those last beach days when August comes to a close.  Listen below and pre-order the upcoming "Indigo" LP here from Captured Tracks.

Body/Head

You can pretty much sign me up for any and everything Kim Gordon does, and her post Sonic Youth work is no different.  Her project with Bill Nace, Body/Head, has a new record out next month on Matador.  Listen to the droning, noisy fuzz of "You Don't Need" below and pre-order "The Switch" record here.

PYNKIE

Jersey bedroom pop artist PYNKIE just released her debut full-length a couple of days ago.  "Neoteny" is a sweet collection of warbled, lo-fi pop jams that recall a certain '90s aesthetic as played on tape decks and walkmans in teenage bedroom sanctuaries.  Listen to "ballad" below, download the album from the artist here, or order the cassette here from Plastic Response or here from Gnar Tapes.

Deadly Avenger

Synth artist Deadly Avenger has a new album out of retro-electronic jams structured as a soundtrack to an imaginary Kaiju film, and i am here for it.  Listen to "Kill All Kaiju" below and get the "I Am Godzilla, You Are Japan" LP here from Burning Witches.

The Advisory Circle

The Advisory Circle has a new album of library sound indebted synth magic for our listening perusal.  "Ways of Seeing" sounds timeless and nostalgic, like background television music that embedded itself in our psyches as children.  Listen to "Flight Capture" below and get the record from Ghost Box.

Sungod

August sees the release of Austin experimental psych band Sungod's new album "Wave Refraction," an instrumental, cosmic exploration of sound.  Listen to "Hypnotism" below, on what is sure to be a brain melting kind of record, and pre-order here from Holodeck.
