Chat Pile

Oklahoma City metal band Chat Pile are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands these days, their mix of black metal, emo, and grunge, along with their penchant for experimentation, just vibing with me in all the right ways.  September sees the release of new album "Who Loves the Sun."  Pre-order the LP here from The Flenser and listen to the crunchy "Deep Blue" below.

Daily Jam - Welcome to the Machine

Like a lot of dudes before me, i went through a pretty heavy Pink Floyd phase when i was in college.  My enthusiasm for the band has waned over the years, but every now and then i go back and listen and remember why i got so wrapped up in them in the first place.  Here's a track from "Wish You Were Here," maybe the strongest and most consistent release from the band.  Listen to "Welcome to the Machine" below, our Daily Jam.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Okay, no more delaying the inevitable.  I've got to get to work.  I'll leave you with some cool new electronica from LA artist Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.  Check out "Ruin" below and pre-order the upcoming new "Ruin: It's Not Just Music" album here from Someone Special.

R. Missing

New York synth pop artist R. Missing just dropped her "Turning Off Lights Is My Destiny" album a few days ago, and it's a massive mix of electronic textures and dark and airy synthesizers.  Check out the darkened dreampop title track below and download everything here.

Jogging House

Keeping things synthy and German for the time being with some tranquil new ambient music from Jogging House.  Center yourself with "Stenography" below and get the new "Sender" album here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Orakel

I've got a lot of accounting based data entry to get done today.  Here's hoping some German analog synthesizers can push me through.  Check out "Orakel" from German composer and keyboardist Reinhard Lakomy below, our Daily Jam.

Ty Segall

You know, i was just thinking the other day how it had been about 5 minutes since we last heard from perennial garage rocker Ty Segall, and lo and behold we get ourselves an announcement of a new record today.  Check out new tune "Black Paint" below and pre-order the upcoming "Chrome" LP here, along with new "Love Fuzzz" 12" single here from Drag City.

Flowers Must Die

Here's some glorious music from Swedish born / UK based band Flowers Must Die that was recorded almost 10 years ago and is seeing the light of day with the release of the "Stormen Fore Lugnet" 12".  Dig on the swirling, noisy mix of psych, space rock, prog, and jazz that is "Darskapen" below and get the vinyl here from the band.

Daily Jam - 당신이 그리울 때

I'm totally fascinated with this South Korean pop album from 1979 by Yoona.  I can't find much information on it, and it does not appear to have ever been for sale on any of my usual channels.  Anyway, i've only heard one song, the melancholy and sultry "당신이 그리울 때" which translates to "When i Miss You," and that intro absolutely slaps.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Endlesss

That reverby shoegaze sound never really goes away, and my life is all the better for it.  Here's a great new track from Mexican shoegaze band Endlesss.  Listen to "Evil Eyes" below and get the "Late Reflections" EP here from Shore Dive Records.
