French Film
Austin post punk band French Film is one of the bands i meant to catch last month during SXSW but just didn't happen. Bummer for me. Anyhoo, the band are readying new album "Yours" for release on Austin record label The Nothing Song Records. Pre-order the cassette here and listen to the excellent "Crude Charm" below.
Klaus Morlock
Back on my bullshit again with some new faux soundtrack music from Klaus Morlock. "Fireside Spells" plays like the psychedelic score to some unearthed Eurosleaze B-movie full of witches, satanists, and lots and lots of sex. Check out "Run Hide Die" below and get the LP here from the excellent Library of The Occult.
Daily Jam - Gone
Here's a gorgeous track from M83's 2003 sophomore album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts." Listen to the breathtaking "Gone" below, our Daily Jam.

Aesop Rock
Guys, times are scary right now. There is a plethora of nightmares out there that we all need to deal with. But i want you to give yourself a four-minute break and listen to the new Aesop Rock track. It's not going to fix anything, but we all need to take our brief moments of pleasure when we can. Check out "Checkers" below and pre-order the upcoming "Black Hole Superette" album here from Rhymesayers Entertainment.
Panchiko
Panchiko is a UK band that was originally around back in the late '90s and early '00s and called it quits for the better part of two decades before the younger generation discovered them via social media and revived them, a la Duster. The band has now been making music again for the last couple years, and their new album "Ginkgo" just dropped today. The whole thing is quite good, a poppy mix of different alt-rock sounds and moods, and one of the highlights is "Shandy in the Graveyard," which features a verse by New York rapper Billy Woods. Check it out below and order the LP here.
Fotoform
Seattle's Fotoform make lush and hazy shoegaze pop, melancholy daydream nuggets for cloudy days. The band's new album "Grief Is a Garden (Forever in Bloom)" drops later this month. Pre-order it here and listen to the lovely and ethereal "Grief Is a Garden" below.
Daily Jam - Icare
A month ago, i took the day off from work for my birthday and went on a record store crawl around Austin, hitting up half a dozen different stores around town. One of the records i came home with was a 7" from French psych-tinged pop rock band Labyrinthe. Check out the very cool, organ-laden B-side "Icare" below, our Daily Jam. Long live physical media!
