Daily Jam - Making Time

I first heard Creation's "Making Time" via the "Rushmore" soundtrack.  I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case for a lot of you out there, but from my understanding, the '60s garage rock band's name was the inspiration for shoegaze purveyors Creation Records.  And that's pretty cool.  Anyway, the song's a blast too.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Friday Horror Trailer - Alucarda

NSFW.

Anika

Continuing to groove on her Nico sounds, Berlin artist Anika is back with new single "Finger Pies," via Sacred Bones and Invada.  It's worth a spin.  Check it out below and get it here.

Hordes of Wurdalak

One of the things i love about a lot of dungeon synth bands are the borderline ridiculous names they have.  It's a lot like black metal bands where you can tell exactly what they're going to sound like based entirely on what the artists call themselves.  And so i guess it makes sense that Italy artist Hordes of Wurdalak makes a dark, lo-fi, and sometimes creepy mix of both dungeon synth and black metal.  Check out "Eternal Crypts of Solitude" below and cop the "Castle of the Unlight" cassette here.

Daily Jam - Legacy

In about 4 hours i'm set to get my wisdom teeth removed.  I'm sure a lot of you did it in your teens, but for some reason i decided to wait until my 40s.  Needless to say, i'm not exactly stoked about the idea.  Anyway, here's "Legacy," a track from one of my favorite '90s UK acts Mansun and our Daily Jam.

The Murlocs

Australia keeps on pumping out the psych and garage rock bands with gleeful abandon.  And they're just all so damn good.  The latest from The Murlocs drops this summer, and you should definitely check out the bouncy, clapping, and catchy as hell first single "Francesca."  Watch the video below, dig on that harmonica, and then pre-order the upcoming "Bittersweet Demons" LP here from ATO.

Yohei

Here's some otherworldly bedroom pop with tinges of folk and psych in the mix from LA artist Yohei.  On "Edge of Your Dream," the artist teams with fellow oddballs Nels Cline, Daniel Seeff, and Jens Kuross for a track that sounds like waking in a haze.  Check it out below and get it here.

Telematics

Here's some cool and noisy post punk from a New York band made up of a bunch of guys from a bunch of other bands.  There's a little bit of goth and death rock hanging in the sounds of Telematics as well.  Check out "Grief Parasite" below and download it here from the band.

Daily Jam - I Know

There was a brief moment in time when i was in college that i was just a little bit obsessed with the weird sounds of The Beta Band.  Groove with me with "I Know," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Vitamin C

Just gonna groove on some krautrock today.  So should we all.  Here's "Vitamin C" from Can, our Daily Jam.
