Gorodki

No one does cold and icy darkwave quite like the Russians.  Here's Russian artist Gorodki with "Vampire" from the new EP of the same name to try and soften the almost record breaking heat we've had here in Central Texas the last few days.  Check the track out below and download the EP here.

Xiu Xiu

Experimental band Xiu Xiu have been making weird, noisy, sometimes impenetrable music for a long time now, and it's nice to know that there are things that can still be counted on.  New album "Ignore Grief" drops in March.  Pre-order it here from Polyvinyl and watch the video for "Maybae Baeby" below.

Daily Jam - Talking to the People

Here's some cool funk from Detroit band Black Nasty from their sole 1973 full-length LP.  Check out "Talking to the People" below, our Daily Jam.

En Attendant Ana

Though it's sung in English, "Principia," the latest track from French indie pop band En Attendant Ana, has all the markings and sounds of the psych-tinged French pop i love so much.  Check it out below, and pre-order the upcoming "Principia" LP here on Trouble in Mind.

M83

Yesterday, we got a new song and video from Anthony Gonzalez's long-running synth project M83, along with the announcement of the upcoming "Fantasy" LP in March.  "Oceans Niagara" soars and sweeps with all the cinematic flourishes we've come to expect over the years, feeling wistful and powerful all at once.  Check it out below and pre-order the record here from Mute.

Daily Jam - Blood on the Saddle

Cowpunk yee-haw!  Here's '80s LA band Blood on the Saddle with "Blood on the Saddle," our Daily Jam.

STOMP TALK MODSTONE

Japanese shoegaze band STOMP TALK MODSTONE just keeps on releasing new music, and i just keep on listening to all of it.  Their latest is new single "Purple from Love."  Check it out below and get it here.

Daily Jam - Banditos

Here's a song that instantly transports me back to 11th grade in Midland, Tx.  It's really, kind of impossible for me to separate the song from the era, and as i get older, i'm finding that to increasingly be the case with a lot of things.  Anyway, here's The Refreshments and "Banditos," our Daily Jam.

Snow Ghosts

February brings us new music from UK band Snow Ghosts.  The group's mix of English folk, noise, experimental electronica, and other elements is the perfect sound for cold months.  Check out "Curse" below and pre-order the upcoming "The Fell" LP here from Houndstooth.

Daily Jam - Memorial

I'm tired, but i want to try and start this week with some energy.  So here's some noise from the Cows.  Check out "Memorial" below, our Daily Jam.
