Allah-Las

LA band Allah-Las just dropped a lovely new instrumental single today with the dreamy and summery "Ultramarine."  Dig on it below and pre-order the 7" (with mystery B-side) here from Mexican Summer.

Strip Joint

Here's some very cool indie rock from Japanese band Strip Joint.  New tune "Mirage (Stranger's Dream)" pulls from American alt-rock and indie folk, along with elements of jazz, post rock, prog, and Japanese pop.  It's quite something.  Check it out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Prayers in Spiral" LP here from KiliKiliVilla.

Daily Jam - Sex Type Thing

And now for a classic from my early teenage years.  You can practically taste the confusion and angst.  Listen to Stone Temple Pilots and "Sex Type Thing" below, our Daily Jam.

Fat Dog

New Fat Dog alert!  New Fat Dog alert!  The UK band, a favorite of mine from SXSW '24 and henceforth, just dropped new song "Go Fuck Urself" yesterday, a synth-heavy and sneering dance track to get the body hopping.  Check it out below and download it here from Domino.

Daily Jam - Sad Sad City

I wonder whatever happened to Austin duo Ghostland Observatory.  Checking on Discogs, and the band released an album back in 2018, but i don't think it was to too much fanfare.  It's kind of wild too, because 20 years ago, these guys were the hottest shit in town.  Anyway, here's a funky electro-pop track from 2006.  Listen to "Sad Sad City" below, our Daily Jam.

The Young Sinclairs

Put a little jangle and reverb into your step this morning with some new music from Virginia band The Young Sinclairs.  The group's new album "Cycles Turning" is out now.  Download it here from the band and listen to the psych pop-tinged title track below.

Daily Jam - You Better Stay Alive

Good morning.  Dig on some cold war vibes from '80s Slovenian band Demolition Group.  "You Better Stay Alive" is a minimal and lo-fi darkwave dream, icy synths from the other side of the Iron Curtain.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Calibre

After that K-pop, why not settle things down with some ambient electronica from Belfast artist Calibre.  New album "Tricklemore Sea" is out now.  Get it here from Signature Recordings and listen to the hushed and hypnotic title track below.

Daily Jam - Golden

The whole "KPop Demon Hunters" thing is not my bag.  Not even slightly.  It's not my boys' thing either.  My wife, on the other hand, absolutely loves it.  All that being said, if i happen to hear "Golden" from the movie's protagonist K-pop trio Huntr/x, it will be in my head for days and days and days.  And now it can be in yours too.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Tokyo Shoegazer

Here's a little mix of post rock, post punk, and shoegaze from Japanese band Tokyo Shoegazer.  The group's new album "Remains" is out now.  Get it here and listen to "Wisteria" below.
