Yea-Ming and The Rumours

Now here's some of that good throwback, lo-fi, psych and folk-tinged pop from the greater Bay Area that i've come to love and expect over the years, this time around from Oakland's Yea-Ming and The Rumours.  New album "Residue" is out in June on Dandy Boy Records.  Pre-order it here and listen to "Paper Doll" below.

Friday Horror Trailer - The Pack

Daily Jam - Here Comes the Sky

Here's a cool track from Crocodiles debut 2009 album "Summer of Hate" that i've always liked that plays like a kind of lo-fi, fuzzy waltz.  Listen to "Here Comes the Sky" below, our Daily Jam.

Adam O'Farrill

Still finding myself in a jazz groove this morning, so here's some wonderful new music from New York trumpeter and composer Adam O'Farrill.  Listen to the melancholy, and damn near lamentful, "Bibo No Aozora" below and get the "Elephant" LP here from Out of Your Head Records.

This melody is going to be in my head all day.

Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov

Here's a very cool collaboration between Japanese artist Tomo Katsurada and Estonian composer Misha Panfilov.  The upcoming "Eternal Almost" is a flowing, grooving mix of jazz, psychedelic rock, funk, folk, and world sounds.  Check out the excellent and cinematic "Mostra" below and pre-order the LP here from Future Days Radio.

Flea

I am not all that big on the Red Hot Chili Peppers (maybe a song or two here and there), but i have always recognized that Flea is one hell of an accomplished musician, be it the bass or the trumpet.  And he's finally giving us a solo jazz outing with the release of "Honora" tomorrow.  Check out the Thom Yorke assisted "Traffic Lights" below and order the LP here from Nonesuch Records.

Tyshawn Sorey

I can feel my mood shift all over the place this morning, and i'm having a hard time finding the right kind of sounds to capture it.  For now, we're going to go with some avant garde improvisational jazz from New York composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey.  The artist's new album "Members...Don't!" is out in May on Pi Recordings.  Listen to the excellent album opener "Abstrusions" below and pre-order the album here.
