Angine de Poitrine

Quebec band Angine de Poitrine is making a lot of noise right now.  I've been seeing their stuff pop up all over the place online, so i decided to check out the hype myself...and holy shit!  The group's got an angular post punk thing going on, but with elements of math rock, psychedelia, and so much more in the mix.  It's wild.  Listen to "Fabienk" below and try not to wiggle.  You can download the new "Vol. II" album here and pre-order an upcoming vinyl release from Levitation here.

A Somber Funeral

I love it when you hear a band name and immediately know what you're about to get into.  With Germany's A Somber Funeral, my guess was either dark and gloomy dungeon synth or noisy, lo-fi black metal.  Turns out it's both!  Check out "Maybe She's Dreaming" featuring Winterherz below and grab the "Since You Left These Shores" LP here from Silent Watcher Records.

Daily Jam - Golgotha Tenement Blues

Over 30 years later, and the soundtrack to "The Crow" still whips.  I was 15 when it came out, and it's stayed with me since.  Here's Machines of Loving Grace's contribution.  Listen to "Golgotha Tenement Blues" below, our Daily Jam.

The Laughing Chimes

Before Ohio band The Laughing Chimes released last year's fantastic "Whispers in the Speech Machine" LP, they were working on something a little lighter and janglier than that album turned out being.  That work is seeing the light of day next month with the impending release of "Behind Your Blue Fields," a collection of songs and demos that just didn't fit the first time around.  Check out the wonderfully poppy title track below and pre-order the cassette here from Slumberland.

Cremation Lily

Here's some eerie and ethereal new music from UK artist Cremation Lily.  "Coastal Ghost I" plays like alien static from some lost world, a dreamy sonic vista.  Check it out below and snag one of the last few copies of the "Coastal Ghosts" cassingle here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Maritime (Mike Patton Remix)

Another busy day, and it's not over yet, and i'm already exhausted.  Here's Mike Patton's excellent remix of the ISIS track "Maritime" to get me over the hill.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Cathedral Bells

It's kind of a gloomy Monday morning here in Central Texas.  Here's some appropriately moody music to go along with it.  LA band Cathedral Bells just dropped their new album "Parallel Dreams" last week.  Grab the LP here from Artoffact Records and dig on the dreamy mix of synth pop and shoegaze that is album opener "Crashing Out."

Daily Jam - So Much Water

Tacoma Radar was a Scottish slowcore band that put out a couple of records in the early '00s that for whatever reason completely missed my notice.  But the good folks at Numero Group reissued the band's work last year, and i'm diving head in now.  Check out the lovely "So Much Water" below, our Daily Jam.

The Asteroid No. 4

Here's some new music from the Bay Area based psych/shoegaze band The Asteroid No. 4.  The band's new album "In Praise of Shadows" is due next month.  Pre-order the LP here and listen to the moody and dreamy "Underworld" below.

WU LYF

I forgot that Manchester's WU LYF got back together.  And they just dropped their new "A Wave that Will Never Break" album on Friday.  Dig on the great new track "The Fool" below and download the album here from the band.
