Daily Jam - Shook Ones Pt. II

The first concert i ever took my oldest son to was record store parking lot performance by Mobb Deep during SXSW in 2014.  Of course he doesn't remember it because he wasn't even one yet, but i hope somewhere deep in his subconscious he still feels it.  Anyway, here's "Shook Ones Pt. II," our Daily Jam.

Zeal & Ardor

It was a pretty banner day for Sub Pop yesterday.  Aside from the new Slift single, the label also released new music from the amazing metal band Zeal & Ardor.  Check out their new crusher "Firewake" below and download it here.

Slift

French cosmic psychedelic juggernauts Slift just dropped a new single yesterday via Sub Pop.  Stare into space and dig on the brain melting reverb of "Unseen" below, then snag it here.

Daily Jam - Trainspotting

The soundtrack (and the film too) to "Trainspotting" was really important to my formative years.  That CD opened me up to a lot of music, both old and new, that set me on a different sonic path than i might have headed.  It's still an all-timer for me from start to finish.  Here's a cut from it.  Listen to Primal Scream's groovy and sprawling instrumental "Trainspotting" below, our Daily Jam.

Grave Babies

Here's some new music from darkwave goth band Grave Babies.  New album "Death Will Kill Us All" is a lo-fi, industrial affair.  Check out "Eat My Eyes" below and grab one of the last cassettes here from Raptor Crew.

Daily Jam - A Faded Picture

Here's a hazy, slinky psychedelic garage rock number from '60s LA band The Seeds.  Listen to "A Faded Picture" below, our Daily Jam.

The Telescopes

As the years go by, UK band The Telescopes seem to get more and more prolific.  Their latest, the upcoming "Experimental Health," drops early next year.  Listen to the fuzzy, warbled, lo-fi din of "The Turns" below and pre-order the record here.

Daily Jam - Mind Playing Tricks on Me

I was listening to Isaac Hayes's "Hot Buttered Soul" album the other day and started thinking about how often the man has been sampled in hip-hop.  It's a lot.  And that eventually landed me on Houston's Geto Boys and their 1991 track "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" which brought back some 7th grade memories.  Anyway, listen and watch the video below, our Daily Jam.

Boris

The long running Japanese band Boris dropped a surprise album over the weekend called "Fade."  Through their years, the band has dabbled in psych rock, metal, shoegaze, and more.  The new album is a fuzzy, drumless drone metal album.  Download it here and check out "終章　a bao a qu -無限回廊-" below.  It sounds like watching snow fall while the world collapses around you.
