Lovelorn

Philly duo Lovelorn is one of those bands i had every intention of checking out at SXSW last year before COVID shut it all down.  It's good to see that they're still doing their thing, a propulsive mix of industrial rock, electronic pop, and neo-psychedelia, and that they've got a full-length album dropping this summer.  Check out the propulsive "Sickness Reward" below and pre-order the "What's Yr Damage" LP here via 6131 Records.

Hante.

French synth pop artist Hante. has a new album heading our way this summer via Synth Religion.  Always good news.  Here's the first single from the upcoming "Morning Tsunami" LP.  Check out the video for "Blank Love" below and be on the lookout for the album pre-order here on May 7th.

Daily Jam - Speed of Sound

We all got cheated when Chris Bell died in 1978.  The former Big Star member and power pop singer/songwriter pursued a solo career for a few years, the output of which finally ended up on the posthumously released "I Am the Cosmos" LP in 1992.  I wish there could have been more.  Listen to "Speed of Sound" below, our Daily Jam.

Kuollut

Finnish electronic artist Kuollut makes a mix of trance, new age, and witch house to craft something trippy and ethereal.  The artist sites Enigma as a primary influence, and they aren't lying.  There are some serious "pure moods" vibes all over new album "Seeds."  Check out the worldly and dreamy "Savannah" below and get the album here from United Burial.

Daily Jam - Pearl

Calm you nerves today with some soothing and dreamy sounds from Chapterhouse.  That goes for all of you.  Here's the Rachel Goswell assisted "Pearl," our Daily Jam.

Hallows

Last year, Seattle synth pop duo Hallows released a pretty great EP of icy coldwave jams called "Subtle."  The band is set to follow that up with a full-length release later this year, and we've got the first single out now for our perusal.  Check out the very goth "All That Is True Dies" below and download the track along with a couple of remixes here via Cold Transmission Music.

Daily Jam - Deer Forest

If you woke up this morning thinking what you really need today is some spacey new age with flashes of jazz that wouldn't sound out of place at your local planetarium or as a soundtrack to life emerging from the sea, have i got a tune for you.  Check out "Deer Forest" from French trumpeter Pierre Dutour from the 1979 album "Top Fiction."  It's our Daily Jam.

The Gabbard Brothers

Here's a hazy and dusty Americana psych diddy from Ohio duo The Gabbard Brothers.  Some real Neil Young vibes going on here on "Sell Your Gun Buy a Guitar."  Check it out below and grab the 7" here from Colemine Records.

Daily Jam - Hypnotize

Between the kids, the housework, and staying up too late watching monster movies, the weekends are wearing me out faster than the work weeks.  Best to just nod along i guess.  And dig on that Herb Alpert bassline sample.  Here's Notorious B.I.G. with "Hypnotize," our Daily Jam.

Gaspard Augé

And speaking of Justice, one half of the French duo, Gaspard Augé, is set to release his debut solo effort sometime this summer.  Our first taste is the energetic "Force Majeure."  The best Justice songs always managed to somehow combine disco, prog rock, pop, and electronica into one blast of sound, and "Force Majeure" does just that.  Check it out below and download it here from Because Music.
