Kallsup

Did i mention it's hot as fuck here?  We're on something like 10 straight days of 100+ degree temperatures with no end in sight.  Gonna try to cool down mentally just a little bit with a chilly mix of post-punk and shoegaze from Swedish band Kallsup.  Check out "Kino" below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Alldeles För Nära" LP here from VÅRØ.

Ringfinger

Here's some gothy new lo-fi and dreampop-tinged darkwave from Vancouver artist Ringfinger.  Dig on the excellent new single "Three Stones" below, download it here, and be sure to check out the R.E.M. cover on the B-side.

New Age Healers

Seattle band New Age Healers have a kind of classic alternative rock vibe going for them, bits and pieces of space rock, shoegaze, neo-psychedelia, and grunge coming together in a hazy sonic stew.  Check out "Ultra" below and grab the band's new "Blowing Smoke Through the Choir" LP here.

Daily Jam - Anodyne

Listening to CCR's "Effigy" yesterday reminded me that alt-country originators Uncle Tupelo covered back in '93 for the "No Alternative" compilation.  They do a very faithful version too, while still sounding entirely like themselves.  Anyhoo, here's the title track from the band's '93 album "Anodyne" for what is a blisteringly hot day here in Central Texas.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Misha Panfilov

Here's some new music from prolific Estonian musician and composer Misha Panfilov.  New album "Where the Birds Fly" drops next month.  Pre-order the LP here from the artist and listen to the jazzy, lounge-tinged, exotica sounds of "When I See You (It Feels Wonderful)" below.

Daily Jam - Effigy

It's my little brother's birthday today.  He's in a Creedence Clearwater Revival cover band here in Austin called The Proud Marys.  If you've ever wondered what CCR sounds like played in the style of The Ramones, it's pretty much that.  Anyway, here's Creedence with a favorite of mine, "Effigy," our Daily Jam.  Happy Birthday Drew!

Wolves in the Throne Room

October brings us new music from the boundary pushing Olympia black metal band Wolves in the Throne Room, which is always welcome news around these parts.  Check out the atmospheric and ominous "Ghosts Among the Obelisks" below and pre-order the "Estuary" LP here from Relapse.

Silk Fence

Silk Fence is the New York based, experimental instrumental trio of Arian Shafiee (Guerilla Toss), Booker Stardrum (SML), and Justin Frye (PC Worship).  Together, they pull from jazz, post rock, ambient, neo-classical, psychedelia, and more to craft sprawling soundscapes of soothing textures and propulsive grooves.  Check out "(A)RT" below and pre-order the band's upcoming self-titled LP here from Sophomore Lounge.

Daily Jam - You're Gonna Cut Me Loose

Here's a little raucous garage rock from Austin's Hundred Visions to plow you through your Thursday.  Dig on "You're Gonna Cut Me Loose" below, our Daily Jam.
