The British Stereo Collective

And now for the latest from The British Stereo Collective and this week's "Praktische Elektronik" album.  Pulling from old analog synthesizer music, '70s and '80s film scores, and more, the whole thing plays like some throwback opus the Germans would have been toying around with 45 years ago.  Listen to the album opening "Patchwerk" below and get the album here from the artist.

Pile

Post punk band Pile have a new record heading our way in August with the incoming "Sunshine and Balance Beams" LP.  Dig on the raucous rock meets string section of "Born at Night" below and pre-order the album here from Sooper Records.

Daily Jam - Long Gone Day

Here's a track from Seattle grunge supergroup Mad Season's sole album "Above."  Featuring members of Screaming Trees, Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains, it really is a damn shame we never got anymore music from this collective.  Damn heroin.  Listen to the Mark Lanegan assisted "Long Gone Day" below, our Daily Jam.

Maruja

At SXSW this year, my favorite act was probably Manchester band Maruja and their politically minded mix of jazz, punk, post rock, and rap.  Earlier this year the group dropped the excellent instrumental "Tír na nÓg" EP, and they are following it up with the full-length "Pain to Power" LP in September.  Check out the video for the excellent "Look Down on Us" below and pre-order the record here from Music for Nations.

Selfless

Indonesian heavy shoegaze band Selfless bring the noise with their new "My Shade and Daydream" EP.  Dig on the heavy chug and dreamy fuzz of "Solstice" below and download the EP here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Feelings

Here's scuzzy Austin punk band Crust covering Morris Albert's "Feelings" to begin your morning to.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Guerilla Toss

Here's a new track from New York's noisy psychedelic punk band Guerilla Toss.  "Psychosis Is Just a Number" was produced by Stephen Malkmus and mixed by Jorge Elbrecht, and it's a wild and frenetic trip.  Listen below and download it here from Sub Pop.

BED

BED is a multinational project based in Berlin who play a dizzying mix of bedroom pop, alt-rock, and dreampop from a non-binary, gender fluid, and queer perspective.  Their debut LP "Everything Hurts" drops in a couple of weeks, and it has the makings of a melancholy magnum opus.  Listen to "Throat" below and pre-order the LP here from Bretford.

Daily Jam - The Lantern

Marty Willson-Piper is the guitarist from Australian band The Church.  Here's a track from his excellent solo debut from 1987 that got some reissue love last month for Record Store Day.  Listen to "The Lantern" below, our Daily Jam.

Living Dream

Here's some crunch, lo-fi and reverbed psychedelic alt-rock from Indianapolis band Living Dream.  The group just released their "Absolute Devotion" EP last month on Inscrutable Records, and it's a fuzzy, wonderful dream.  Listen to "Lift a Feather" below and get the record here.
