Sulk Rooms

Listening to BOC has sent me searching for more electronic music to work to this afternoon, and so we have the chilled out, ambient electronica sounds of Sulk Rooms.  Get the new "Songs of Soil" album here from Quiet Details and listen to the album opening pulse of "The Losing Grip" below.

Boards of Canada

It's official.  We are getting a new Boards of Canada album at the end of the month, the first new record since 2013.  Check out the very cool new track "Prophecy at 1420 MHz" below and pre-order the "Inferno" LP here from Warp.

Friday Horror Trailer - Hokum

Daily Jam - Could've Been

It's Friday.  Enjoy some cheese.  This song was big when i was in 3rd grade maybe.  Meet me at the mall and listen to Tiffany's "Could've Been" below, our Daily Jam.

NNHMN

Berlin's NNHMN make moody darkwave synth pop for gothy nightclubs and the black nails and lipstick set.  The band's upcoming "Opera of Lust & The Art of Sorrow II" LP is out in July (though it really feels more like an autumn kind of release).  Pre-order it here and listen to "Cold Like Steel" below.

Miracle

Zombi's Steve Moore and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan have teamed together again to bring us another round of synth pop as Miracle.  The duo's new "The Living Likeness of My Electric Daemon" LP is out in June from Relapse.  Pre-order it here and listen to the industrial-tinged "PVC Vest" below.

Daily Jam - Being Number One

Here's a little underground groove and soul from Phoenix band Flashbakk.  "Being Number One" comes from one of the three singles the band released in 1983 before fading into obscurity.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Lai/Lencastre/Reviriego

Here is some absolutely haunting, and kind of terrifying, new avant garde and improvisational jazz from the trio of Spanish artists Clara Lai (piano) and Alex Reviriego (electronics), and Portuguese artist Jose Lencastre (alto and tenor sax).  The album is "Instante," and it's a stark collection of visceral soundscapes.  Check out the album closing "Esencia," a creeping eulogy for the end of all things.  Listen below and pre-order the album here from Phonogram Unit.

The Empress

The Empress is the groove laden, library sounds homage project of Paul Elliot (Pleasurewood) and Paul Osborne (Project Gemini).  The duo's upcoming new album "Fortune Teller" feels like a fuzzy, mystical soundtrack to an Italian crime drama or giallo.  Check out "Switch Blade" below and pre-order the LP here from Library of the Occult.

Daily Jam - Hypnotisé

Working from home alone this morning.  Just me and the dog.  It's quiet and gray, the perfect time for some spacey, easy listening prog pop from French Canadian musician Gilles Valiquette.  I came across "Hypnotisé" the other night during a YouTube deep dive and really dug the sparse dreaminess of it all.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.
