Why Bother?

Iowa band Why Bother? have a very cool synth/psych/garage rock/post-punk fusion thing going on for them, and i am here for it.  New album "Beyond Step One" dropped earlier this month, and it's a total banger with weird, surreal, spoken word pieces strewn throughout.  I don't think anything else sounds quite like it.  Grab it here from Feel It Records and listen to "Come Undone" below.

YAANG

Here's a new post punk banger from Manchester band YAANG.  Listen to "Horsepower is God" below and download it here.

Yoo Doo Right

Montreal cosmic explorers Yoo Doo Right are back with a new album of interstellar-psychedelia to shake our eardrums and expand our minds.  Check out new tune "Doldrums, Doldrums, Eviler than the Devil" below and pre-order the upcoming "Build and Rest by the Shepherd's Light" LP here from Mothland.

Daily Jam - Ta Det Lugnt

I remember how blown away i was the first time i heard Swedish psych rock band Dungen over 20 years ago.  Truth be told, listening to 2004's "Ta Det Lugnt," i'm still blown away.  Just an amazing piece of work.  Listen along with me, will you?  Here's the title track, our Daily Jam.

Fujiya & Miyagi

Time to get those hips shaking and those toes tapping with some new music from UK outfit Fujiya & Miyagi and their grooving mix of krautrock, disco, post punk, and electro-pop.  Listen to "Lowest Common Denominator" below and pre-order the forthcoming "New Shiny Object" LP here from the band.

Soft Vein

Dig on some new synth pop from California based artist Soft Vein.  The upcoming "All We've Known of Heaven" LP is out next month on Artoffact Records.  Pre-order it here and listen to "Another Summer" below.

Daily Jam - Ascension to Virginity

Here's some groovy psych pop from Dave Grusin taken from the soundtrack to '60s flick "Candy."  Listen to "Ascension to Virginity" below, our Daily Jam.

Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra and Amanda Werne

Jazz, psychedelia, and world music collide on the new collaborative self-titled EP from Stockholm's Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra and fellow Swede Amanda Werne.  Dig on the far out sounds of "Urhavet" below and pre-order the 10" here from We Jazz Records.

Polypores

Here's some new ambient music from UK artist Polypores.  "A Hole in the Air" is tranquil and a little trippy, and sounds like something it would be nice to gradually awake to.  Check it out below and get the "Wildlife" cassette here from Aural Canyon.

Daily Jam - Train of Consequences

I used to get the opening riff to Megadeth's "Train of Consequences" stuck in my head all the time.  And in my best Ralph Wiggum voice: "i like how it sounds like a train."  Anyhoo, check it out below, our Daily Jam.
