Mexico's Lorelle Meets the Obsolete are releasing their new "Corporeal" EP in May, a companion piece to last year's "Corporal" LP. Check out new the dark and brooding new tune "Progreso" below and pre-order the record here from Sonic Cathedral.
Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien is set to release his new solo album "Blue Morpho" in May. I'm beginning to think that he's quietly been the coolest member of that band all along now. Check out the lush and beautiful, string-laden title track below and pre-order the LP here from Transgressive.
Here's some strange and ghostly lo-fi folk from Chicago artist Hannah Sandoz taken from last year's "MF / HS" split EP with Mirror Fish. Float away in the eerie and ethereal hiss of "All of God" below and get the cassette here from Snart Snart Records.
One of the bands i was fortunate enough to see earlier this wee was Brooklyn duo Pons, who i have to say brought a shitload of energy to a 1PM set. The band make a mix of no wave punk and noise rock and last September's frenetic "Heavens to Peter" cassette is definitely worth a listen. Check out "Boy's Surface" below and snag the tape here from the band.
SXSW '26 has come and gone now, and i'm still playing catch up a few more bands i wish i had been able to catch, like the electro-punk noise of Leeds band Adult DVD. Check out "Real Tee Lee" below and download it here from Fat Possum.
It's Friday and the world's falling apart. Here's one of my favorite songs of all time to maybe turn the tide for a few moments. "Tango Till They're Sore" by Tom Waits sounds like the lament of the most down-on-his-luck loser, drowning himself cheap booze, and stumbling aimlessly around New Orleans (the city of my birth) hoping to find just one set of ears that cares. Listen below, our Daily Jam.
To be honest, i don't think i even knew that Widowspeak were still around, but here's the New York indie pop duo heading our way with a new album in June. Check out the lovely jangle pop of new tune "If You Change" below and pre-order the "Roses" LP here from Captured Tracks.
On the upcoming "Rural Hours," London artist Natalie Wildgoose makes timeless, haunting, wistful spectral folk, the pitch perfect kind of music that feels like it's always just been there with us. Listen to the sublime "Nobody on the Path" below and pre-order the EP here from state51.
Here's a wonderful new psych pop gem from Salt Lake City band The Mellons. Check out the bubblegum melancholia of "Black & White" below and download it here from Earth Libraries.
