Gus Baldwin

One of our local Austin artists making the rounds this week at SXSW is psych and garage rocker Gus Baldwin.  His latest, self-titled album dropped back in October.  Check out the chugging single "Credit Card" below and grab a copy of the LP here from Permanent Teeth Records.

Daily Jam - Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)

It's still a damn shame i never got to see Brian Wilson perform live.  And that all the Wilson brothers were outlived by Mike fucking Love.  Anyway, here's a wonderful track from "Pet Sounds."  Listen to "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" below, our Daily Jam.

She's Green

Somehow i missed that Minneapolis shoegazers She's Green released a new track late last month.  I'm going to blame me having covid or just being really busy.  Anyway, check out the lovely "Mettle" below and download it here.

Glaze

Here's a track from Austin shoegaze band Glaze, whom i caught on Thursday at a day party downtown.  Listen to the band's single "Diadema (Only Constant)" below and download it here.

Commercial Breaks

I've seen the name of Austin band Commercial Breaks listed on a lot or parties and showcases around town this week for SXSW.  Good for them and any and all of the other locals making waves.  The band just dropped a couple of new songs collectively known as "200 Guitars at Once" a few days ago.  Dig on the wonderfully fuzzy lo-fi nugget "Time Is Hungry (Eats Your Money)" below and download everything here from the band.

Runo Plum

Here's some wistful, lonesome indie folk from Minneapolis artist Runo Plum.  Check out "Butterflies" below and pre-order the upcoming "Bloom Again" EP here from Winspear.

Daily Jam - Bros

That Panda Bear's "Person Pitch" LP is turning 19 years old this year is absolutely insane to me.  Where does all the time vanish to?  Listen to "Bros" below, our Daily Jam.

Silk

Here's some noisy new shoegaze from UK band Silk.  Their new "Auralux" EP is due in May.  Listen to the swirling, churning "Clementine" below and pre-order the record here from the artist.

An Old Sad Ghost

Dungeon synth is one of those niche genres that will always kind of be an enigma to me.  Don't get me wrong, the pairing of medieval imagery with lo-fi synthesizers and dark ambient textures is super fucking cool.  What gets me is that the people who love the genre, really really really really love the genre.  The cassette tapes these artists release seem to sell out in literal minutes.  Wild.  Anyway, here's some dour new music from An Old Sad Ghost from new album "A Letter for Carmilla Part VI & VII: Lamentation & Old."  Listen to anguish-ridden "Lamentation I" below and download the whole thing here from Gondolin Records (naturally the tape is long gone).

R. Missing

Here's a new track from New York dreampop artist R. Missing.  Listen to moody "Thisworldly" below and download it here from ethe artist.
