Daily Jam - Immigrant Song

It's a new week.  It's a new season.  Let's start it with some Led Zeppelin.  Here's a perennial favorite, "Immigrant Song," our Daily Jam.

JayWood

Here's a little funky and hazy bedroom pop from Winnipeg's JayWood.  "God Is a Reptile" feels like a fever dream, or like being underwater in slow motion.  Check it out below and get it here from Captured Tracks.

The Range

Maybe it's a little early in the day for this kind of thing, but here's some mellow electronic dance music from New York artist The Range for your Sunday morning.  Check out "Bicameral" below and download the track here from Domino.

Daily Jam - My Weakness Is None of Your Business

By 1998, Britpop was pretty much burning out, Pulp's "This Is Hardcore" being its hungover eulogy.  But a couple of really great albums still managed to pop up here and there in the ensuing years.  One of those is melancholy and string-laden "The Good Will Out" from Embrace.  Sure, it's a little maudlin at times, but those songs sure are pretty.  Here's "My Weakness Is None of Your Business," our Daily Jam.

The Smile

And we got another single from Radiohead side project The Smile with "Skrting on the Surface."  That's three excellent singles now fellas, so how about an album drop?  Anyway, check out the video for the new track below and get it here from XL.

Daily Jam - Il Pleut Bergere

Here's a little French pop from Radiah Frye, produced and arranged by fellow weirdo Nino Ferrer.  Listen to "Il Pleut Bergere" below, our Daily Jam.

Friday Horror Trailer - Subspecies

TEKE::TEKE

So, the last few days, i've managed to pop my head into a couple of SXSW day parties while on lunch breaks, and i've caught some cool stuff, one of which is the 7-member Montreal psych rock band TEKE::TEKE.  The band fuses Japanese psych rock with surf rock, punk, and more, all with a fun and cinematic flair.  A lot of their stuff feels like it would fit in perfectly on the soundtrack to some '60s spy or crime flick set in Japan.  This is very much my shit.  Check out the cool and looming "Kizashi" below from last year's "Shirushi" LP and get the record here from Kill Rock Stars.  Also, if given the opportunity, be sure to catch these guys and girls live.

Daily Jam - Darkest Light

I gotta wonder how many people around my age would think that this song was something else based entirely on here those first couple of seconds.  I bet it's a lot.  Anyway, fun samples aside, everything the Lafayette Afro-Rock Band touched was funky gold.  Listen to "Darkest Light" below, our Daily Jam.

Le Pain

Here's some sweet, bubblegum psych pop from LA band Le Pain.  Feel the sunshine with "Is That How You Want Me to Feel?" below and download it here from Lucky Buckeye.
