For some reason, i have it in my head that Portland lo-fi indie rock band Teen Suicide were going to break up or change their name or something. Being that i'm posting right now about their brand new "Nude Descending Staircase, Headless" LP, i suppose that's not the case. I must be tripping. Anyway, check out "Idiot" below and snag a copy of the album here from Run For Cover Records.
Earlier this month, Columbus, Ohio trio Golomb dropped their new "The Beat Goes On and On and On" EP, a companion to last year's "The Beat Goes On" LP. It features a few alternate takes, remixes, and more, including this wonderful mix of "Be Here Now (Feels So Good)" by Sonic Boom (of Spacemen 3 and Spectrum fame). Check it out below and grab the 12" here from No Quarter.
Experimental Chicago-based artist Mac Blackout utilizes elements of no-wave, jazz, noise, and more in his sonic explorations, and on the upcoming two-volume "Cycling" release, he finds himself wading the waters of analog electronic music. Check out Saxophone accompanied "Cycle 1" below and pre-order the albums here.
New York electro-pop artist Rare DM has a full length album heading our way in May, and it's a brooding mix of dark dancefloor jams and electronic downers. Check out new track "Honey" below and pre-order the "Attention" album here from the artist.
Norwegian alt-pop duo Smerz are back next month with their new "Easy" EP. Check out the R&B flavored "Spring Summer" below and pre-order the album here from Escho.
I vividly remember hearing Scottish band Mogwai for the first time when i was freshman in college, listening to the band's "Young Team" album in my dorm room. I was blown away. It was pretty much my first foray into the whole post rock thing. From the album, here's "Summer (Priority Version)," our Daily Jam.
Things get dark and moody on "Wake Up!," the latest release from German new wave artist Ian Leding. Dig on the goth and death rock-tinged "Girl with the Far Away Eyes" below and grab a copy of the LP here from the artist.
Get those darkwave vibes pulsing with some new music from Boy Harsher vocalist Jae Matthews. Listen to the excellent electro-pop jam "Man on the Beat" below and download it here from Heartworm Press (the 12" single is already sold out).
Man, it's been a while since we last heard from Austin based dreampop band Fight Bite. Over 10 years by my estimation. But they're back this month with a new album of synthy daydreams. Check out the lovely new track "4 Seconds" below and download the duo's new "Party" album here.
