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.

White Ring

Witch house was a very niche genre of electronic music about 16-17 years ago.  It's not as prevalent as it used to be, as far as it ever was, but it also never really went away.  Hell, there's always a big internet to-do anytime Salem releases something.  Anyhoo, noted Florida witch house band White Ring have a new album heading our way next month.  Pre-order the forthcoming "FATE" LP here from the duo, check the ghostly image of the twin towers on the album cover art above, and listen to "Eyes 4 U" below.

Daily Jam - Fire

Work is still a bear for me right now, and while my travel is wrapped up, i've got a veritable mountain of data entry and accounting research in front of me.  Best to listen to new age relaxation music while i dive into it.  Listen to "Fire" below, from Christopher Pidgeon's 1981 album "Life Forces" below, our Daily Jam.

Why Bother?

Iowa band Why Bother? have a very cool synth/psych/garage rock/post-punk fusion thing going on for them, and i am here for it.  New album "Beyond Step One" dropped earlier this month, and it's a total banger with weird, surreal, spoken word pieces strewn throughout.  I don't think anything else sounds quite like it.  Grab it here from Feel It Records and listen to "Come Undone" below.

YAANG

Here's a new post punk banger from Manchester band YAANG.  Listen to "Horsepower is God" below and download it here.

Yoo Doo Right

Montreal cosmic explorers Yoo Doo Right are back with a new album of interstellar-psychedelia to shake our eardrums and expand our minds.  Check out new tune "Doldrums, Doldrums, Eviler than the Devil" below and pre-order the upcoming "Build and Rest by the Shepherd's Light" LP here from Mothland.

Daily Jam - Ta Det Lugnt

I remember how blown away i was the first time i heard Swedish psych rock band Dungen over 20 years ago.  Truth be told, listening to 2004's "Ta Det Lugnt," i'm still blown away.  Just an amazing piece of work.  Listen along with me, will you?  Here's the title track, our Daily Jam.

Fujiya & Miyagi

Time to get those hips shaking and those toes tapping with some new music from UK outfit Fujiya & Miyagi and their grooving mix of krautrock, disco, post punk, and electro-pop.  Listen to "Lowest Common Denominator" below and pre-order the forthcoming "New Shiny Object" LP here from the band.
