John Carpenter

August brings us new music from John Carpenter with the forthcoming release of "Cathedral."  And not just that, the album serves as a soundtrack of sorts to a new graphic novel of same name, based on a dream Carpenter had in 2024.  It's probably the closest thing we'll get to a new John Carpenter movie, so consider us stoked.  Check out "Lord of the Underground" below and pre-order here from Sacred Bones.


Daily Jam - The Shadow of Your Smile

My busy season at work typically doesn't begin until about the middle of July, but i am absolutely slammed today.  And it looks like it's going to carry on into next week.  Ugh.  But for now, i'm going to take a couple of minutes and listen to the soothing, gentle bossa nova sounds of Brazilian-born, Japan-based artist Sonia Rosa.  From her 1970 album "Sensitive Sound of Sonia Rosa," listen to "The Shadow of Your Smile" below, our Daily Jam.

Miracle House

I need to get some work done, so i leave you today with some hazy, dubby beats from Miracle House and his upcoming self-titled EP.  Listen to "Sharp Huron Wind Dub" below and pre-order the download here from Primordial Void.


Avenue & Grubby Pawz

Here's some cool and chill new hip-hop from Boston rapper Avenue and producer Grubby Pawz.  New album "Fortune Favors Risk" is out now.  Get it here quick from Daupe Records, as the label's vinyl releases tend to sell out within hours, and check out "9 Ways" featuring Hil Holla and Caliph below.


Daily Jam - Yoru No Sei

The last weekend of May brings the Austin Record Convention back to town, and i've been amassing an ever-expanding list of records to look for, like Japanese folk and avant pop artist Yoshiko Sai's 1975 debut.  Let's check out a track from it.  Listen to "Yoru No Sei" below, our Daily Jam.
