Daily Jam - Scentless Apprenctice

I listened to Nirvana's "In Utero" in full for the first time in a while the other day, and that thing still rips just as hard as it did when i was in the ninth grade.  Listen to "Scentless Apprentice" below, our Daily Jam.

Minuit Machine

I just found out that French synth wave artist Hélène de Thoury has a new album coming out this summer with her solo project Hante., and today i find a new EP from her other project Minuit Machine.  Everything's coming up Milhouse.  Anyway, check out the dark and propulsive "Sisters" below and download the "Basic Needs" EP here via WARRIORECORDS.

The Bleak Engineers

It's looking like a rainy, foggy day here in Austin, so some cold and moody darkwave from Russian duo The Bleak Engineers should serve me just right.  Icy synths, a driving beat, and the monotone vocal delivery of Zombierella of Messer Chups.  Check out "Unconscious" below and order the album of same name here from Mosaique Records.

Pictureplane

The 100% Electronica record label has been churning out the releases lately making me weirdly nostalgic for the chilled out synth sounds of 10+ years ago.  It's weirdly comforting.  Electronic artist Pictureplane, who i think i heard for the first time on the first Health "Disco" remix album and then saw perform at Fun Fun Fun Fest way back when it was held at Waterloo Park in downtown Austin, is set to release his new album "Dopamine" this summer.  Check out the cool synths of "Avalanche" below and pre-order the album here.

Antoni Maiovvi & ANTA

Berlin by Bristol analog synth wizard Antoni Maiovvi has teamed with Bristol prog rock act ANTA to create "Church of the Second Sun," a mash-up of sorts of horror synth and heavy prog.  It rules.  Check out the video for "As Above, So Below" below and download the album here or pre-order the upcoming vinyl release here via Mondo Tees.

Daily Jam - The Year of the Tiger

"The Year of the Tiger" b/w "Big Star" 7" was the only release from English band Jackal way back in 1974.  It's a little bit glam.  It's a little bit psych.  It's a little bit classic rock.  And it's a little bit awesome.  Check out the A-side below, our Daily Jam.

The Polyphonic Spree - Porpoise Song

The Polyphonic Spree are back!  This time in cover album form.  On "Afflatus," the band of merrymakers covers everyone from INXS to The Bee Gees, as well as one of my favorite weird pop tunes, "Porpoise Song" by The Monkees.  Check it out below, snag a download of the album here, or pre-order the glow-in-the-dark vinyl here from Good Records.

Midwife

New Mexico by way of Denver artist Madeline Johnson was set to take her Midwife project on a number of tours last year until the pandemic upended all of that.  So instead, she recorded a new album.  Check out the wistful "Christina's World" below and pre-order the upcoming "Luminol" LP here from The Flenser.

A Place to Bury Strangers

New tunes coming our way in July from Brooklyn noisy shoegaze band A Place To Bury Strangers.  Check out "End of the Night" below and pre-order the "Hologram" EP here from the band's own label DedStrange.
