Shine

Here's a nugget of crunchy, dreamy shoegaze from Seattle's Shine that sounds like it could have been released in 1991.  Check out "Shine" below and order the "Stare Into the Sun" EP here from 4Q-HQ.

Daily Jam - Jeepster

Starting the week off with T. Rex.  Starting the week off right.  Here's "Jeepster," our Daily Jam.

Darkside

Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington are dropping a new album as Darkside on us this summer.  Check out the groove of "The Limit" below and pre-order the "Spiral" LP here from Matador.

Daily Jam - Toi Qui Rêves de Baiser

If you're gonna call yourselves Sex Convention, you better bring a sound that screams Sex Convention.  And i think this 70's one-off single does just that.  Check out the Jean-Pierre Massiera penned " Toi Qui Rêves de Baiser" below, our Daily Jam.

HEALTH Remixed

Earlier this month, synth noise band HEALTH dropped a new album of remixes, "Disco4+," a continuation of last year's "Disco4: Part 1."  The album features a slew of different folks remixing and reworking the songs, and one of the standouts is the Second Skin mix of "Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0."  The new version retains the original's brooding moodiness, but makes things a little more poppy.  It's great.  Listen below and download the whole thing here via Loma Vista Recordings.

Gloomseeker

Here's some dark moods and dark tones from New York artist Gloomseeker.  New album "The Violet Grim" uses elements of dark ambient music, shoegaze, and industrial to create something both bleak an dour.  It's kind of hypnotic.  Check out "Same Ol' Doom" below and get the album here.

Daily Jam - Skovfragmenter (Fragments of Wood)

Here's some quirky, prog-laden, new age-tinged electronic music from Denmark artist Klaus Schønning.  The album "Lydglimt (Glimpses of Sound)" was recorded and released in 1979, an exploration of the serenity of nature through futuristic electronic equipment.  Check out "Skovfragmenter (Fragments of Wood)" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - On Returning

There's never not a good time to listen to Wire.  I mean, get real.  The band's got decades of good material to sift through, but of those first three iconic and infallible records, i think "154" is probably my favorite.  Here's "On Returning," our Daily Jam.

Sven Wunder

Swedish artist Sven Wunder has really been flexing his muscles in regards to the worldwide sounds he mines for his music.  Over two releases, he tackled Anatolian rock, jazz, psychedelia, funk, library music, Eastern tones, and South Asian sounds to marvelous effect.  And on his upcoming third album "Natura Morta," he seems to be veering into Italian soundtrack territory, or at least that's the vibe on the first single and the hint of Morricone on "Impasto."  Check the tune out below and get the 7" here from Mr Bongo.
