The Cowboys

I'm going to just go ahead and say it: Bloomington, Indiana's The Cowboys are probably the best rock n' roll band in the country.  I think we're about six albums in so far, and the band's upcoming new album "Captain Easy's Downfall" pretty much solidifies my opinion on this.  Their sound's got bits of college rock, jangle pop, power pop, glam, and just good old fashioned rock and/or roll pulsing through its aural veins.  Check out "Little Baby Birds" below and get the LP here from Feel It Records.

Picastro

Let's get weird with some arty, avant garde experimental pop from Toronto band Picastro.  The trio's "Double on Time" EP is out in a couple of weeks.  Pre-order it here from We Are Busy Bodies and listen to "Ring Description" below.

Primitive Ring

Here's something i missed earlier this year from LA supergroup Primitive Ring.  Featuring members of Hooveriii, Fuzz, and Groop, the trio makes hard, fuzzy, psych-tinged garage rock to convulsively shake to.  Dig on "Heads Will Roll" below and download the self-titled album here from In The Red.

Gnoomes

It's time for a little psychedelia from Slovenia.  September brings us "Losey," the new album from Gnoomes, and it's a mix of said psychedelia, space rock, shoegaze, and drone.  Check out "Foreign Agent" below and pre-order the album here from Rocket Recordings.

Daily Jam - House of Glass

Here's some very groovy psych rock from LA band The Glass Family's 1969 debut long player.  By the end of the '70s, they morphed into a disco band.  Funny.  Anyhoo, check out the organ heavy "House of Glass" below, our Daily Jam.

The Field

The Field.  Now that's a name i haven't thought about in a long, long time.  The Berlin-based electronic artist crafts dreamy, techno soundscapes for coffee shop mornings and quiet drives at night.  New album "Now You Exist" came out a couple weeks ago on Studio Barnhus.  Get the LP here and listen to the airy and chilled out "In Our Dreams" below.

Daily Jam - Sunset (Bird of Prey)

I kind of forget how ubiquitous the music of Fatboy Slim was at the turn of the century (it sounds weird to say that, but it is what it is).  So much so, that i pretty much memory hole all of it until i per chance hear a track.  And then it all comes flooding back like so much Christopher Walken dancing.  Anyway, my favorite was always the sleek and dreamy "Sunset (Bird of Prey)," that Jim Morrison sample just getting under my skin.  Check the track out below, our Daily Jam.

Factory Floor

Here's a new banger from Factory Floor.  Shake your ass and get to work to "Buzz Saw" below and snag the 12" single here from Phantasy Sound.

Casket Cassette

Here's some new gothy darkwave from LA artist Casket Cassette.  Get all that black garb on and dance the night away to "Show Me a Sign" below, and download it here from the aritst.

Daily Jam - A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut

Connecticut duo Have A Nice Life have combined all manner of sounds and vibes into their work for the past 20 years, bits of drone and ambient, post punk and noise, goth, post rock, metal, and more.  Here's a lulling, creeping instrumental from the band's 2008 debut full-length.  Listen to the excellently titled "A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" below, our Daily Jam.
