Null Device

Madison's Null Device just dropped new single "I Don't Want to Say Goodbye," an industrial-tinged little piece of electro-pop, equally dark and danceable.  Check it out below and download it here.

Seefeel

Keeping with some ambient-tinged sounds with some new music from UK band Seefeel.  New album "Sol.Hz" is due in early May on Warp.  Pre-order it here and listen to the swirling electronics of "Ever No Way" below.

VLMV

Here's some soothing, sweeping ambient sounds from London artist VLMV.  New album "There Will Come Soft Rains" is out next month, and it's title pretty much clues you in to its tone and mood.  Check out the cinematic, neo-classical "Bodies Grown, Pt. 1" below and pre-order the LP here from Pelagic Records.

Bill Callahan

The incomparable Bill Callahan just released his latest album "My Days of 58" a few days ago, and true to form, it's quite lovely.  "Stepping Out for Air" sounds like a man reevaluating his entire life, the ups, downs, twists, and turns of it all.  But with some horns thrown into the mix for good measure.  Check it out below and snag the LP here from Drag City.

Daily Jam - Army

Starting the week off with some Ben Folds Five.  Here's "Army."  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Two-Man Giant Squid

SXSW is going to be all different this year, this time around seemingly combining all the events (interactive, film, music, etc.) into the same seven-day period, rather than spreading it out over two weeks.  It's also running Thursday through Wednesday this year.  Gonna take some getting used to.  Anyway, it looks like i'm only going to be able to go out for a couple of days due to some work stuff, but i'm still scouring the web to check out tracks from all the artists i've never heard of.  Here's one from Brooklyn band Two-Man Giant Squid.  Check out "Love Is a Skill Like Painting or Taxidermy" below, a little burst or noise rock and indie, and download it here from the band.

Dagmar Zuniga

New York artist Dagmar Zuniga makes a kind of spectral, lo-fi folk full of ghosts and tape hiss.  New album "in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music" sounds like something beamed in from another dimension, radio waves just barely audible on old transistor radios.  Absolutely beautiful and haunting stuff.  Check out "Plenty for All the Masses" below and grab the album here from AD 93.

Daily Jam - Bolivia

I'm back on track now, so here's today's Daily Jam.  Dig on "Bolivia" by Three Mile Pilot below, a moody piano-driven track for a gray Sunday.

Daily Jam (A Day Late) - Huddle Formation

Spent most of the last two days doing a massive spring clean of the house, clearing out a bunch of old junk and washing things that have maybe never gotten attention before in the 10+ years we've been living here.  Because of that, i forgot to drop in and post a Daily Jam yesterday.  So here it is now, a day late.  Listen to a track from one of my favorite records of all time, The Go! Team's "Thunder, Lightning, Strike."  Check out "Huddle Formation" below, and have some fun.

Optic Sink

Fresh off of last year's excellent "Lucky Number" LP, Memphis band Optic Sink is back in April with a new EP of analog synths and new wave beats with "Relentless Metamorphosis: An Original Score for the Films of Maya Deren."  Check out "A Study for Choreography" below and pre-order the record here from DIG! Records.
