Death Hags

LA artist Lola G., who makes music under the name of Death Hags, has been churning out a ton of material during COVID, a veritable fountain of lo-fi pop with tinges of shogaze, death rock, and ambient noise.  Her latest is the "OFF/ON (Don't Give into Fear)" EP, the second on a series of lathe cut records.  Listen to the hazy and fuzzy "Future Now" below and get the album here.

The Hologram People

Here's some chilled out and spacey psychedelia from UK act The Hologram People.  "Sun Breaks on Saturn's Return" feels like getting stoned, sitting on the roof, and gazing at the stars.  Check it out below and get the "Sacred Ritual to Unlock the Mountain Portal" album here from Woodford Halse.

Daily Jam - When It's Over

Record Store Day was split into two drops this summer, the first of which is next month.  I'm not sure how my local stores will be handling things yet, but i do know that i'm gonna get my hands on the reissue of The Wipers' "Youth of America."  The band has seen a number of reissues of their early releases put out every year on Record Store Day, and i'm hoping that's a trend that continues.  Check out "When It's Over" below, our Daily Jam.

Possum

Here's some cool ripping neo-psychedelia from Toronto's Possum.  New album "Lunar Gardens" drops this summer, but for the time being, check out the garage blast of "Clarified Budder."  Listen below and pre-order the record here from Idée Fixe.

Daily Jam - Full Crescent Crusade

Very often i find myself going back to the music i listened to as a teenager in high school or college, when i would go to a music store and come back home with a dozen used CDs, stacks of now gone, but not forgotten artists.  New York band Antarctica is one of those artists, releasing an LP and EP of shoegazey post rock in the late '90s before calling it quits.  Any of you boutique record labels out there want to get to work reissuing these, it would be appreciated.  Anyway, here's "Full Crescent Crusade," our Daily Jam.

Acid Rooster

If you're finding yourself in a mind-melting, brain-frying kind of mood this morning, might i direct you towards the interstellar sounds of German band Acid Rooster.  I must admit i checked them out initially because their name is Acid Rooster.  I mean, name yourself Acid Rooster and you've already piqued my interest.  Anyway, the band's got space rock, psychedelic, krautrock thing going on, and it's wonderful.  Check out "Stereofuzz" below and order the "Irrlichter" album here.

Daily Jam - Land of Milk and Honey

Been scouring through YouTube for old and obscure songs, as i am wont to do, and came across this cool, folky psych pop gem from Dutch duo Mouth and MacNeal.  Check out "Land of Milk and Honey" below, our Daily Jam.

RIP Tawny Kitaen

Actress and media personality Tawny Kitaen passed away yesterday at the age of 59.  Like a lot of you, i'll always remember those Whitesnake videos, but i also love the cheesy and bizarre '80s movies she popped up in during her career.  RIP Tawny Kitaen.

Wavves

Man, i haven't though about LA's Wavves in a long stretch.  There was a brief period of time 12-13 years ago when i thought they were the coolest, noisest thing since sliced bread.  And while they're not nearly as ear-bleedingly noisy as they used to be, they can still churn out a cool pop tune.  Check out "Help Is on the Way" below and pre-order this summer's "Hideaway" LP here from Fat Possum.

Daily Jam - When I'm With You

Ah, another old and funky tune that i'm pretty sure i've heard sampled somewhere before.  Check out Brenda Lee Eager's 1974 soul track "When I'm With You" below, our Daily Jam.
