White Hills

It's about time for me to go get some lunch, but first, why don't we all trip along for few minutes with some cosmic psychedelia and drone rock from New York band White Hills.  New album "Collect Consciousness" is out next month.  Grab it here and listen to the sprawling, oozing "Phase Two" below.

Jozef Van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch

Dutch composer Jozef Van Wissem and New York filmmaker/artist/musician Jim Jarmusch are at again with upcoming new album "Bocca di Lupo and Mouth of the Wolf," a double album of sorts.  Dig on new track "Never Like You Said," a fuzzy guitar driven dirge with additional vocals from Courtney Barnett that sounds like New York cool (think Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground or something like that), and pre-order the album here from Sacred Bones.

Purple Pilgrims

New Zealand duo Purple Pilgrims have a new record of dreamy, pscyh and folk-tinged indie pop heading our way in November.  Dig on the mellow "Innocence Lost" below and pre-order the "Given to the Night" LP here from AD 93.

Ivan The Tolerable

UK artist Ivan The Tolerable makes experimental music and soundscapes, sometimes pulling from jazz, or ambient, or no wave, or world, or a thousand other things.  "Browning Out with Ivan The Tolerable" finds the artist in a whole lot of those moods, but particularly a droney and exotic one on "Milky Sky."  Check the track out below and get the LP here from Ack! Ack! Ack! Records.

Daily Jam - Apollo 13

In 2005, Suede front man Brett Anderson reunited with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler for a new project called The Tears.  For fans of Suede and Britpop in general, like me, it was a marvelous one-off.  Check out the spacey, yearning "Apollo 13" from the project's sole album below, our Daily Jam.

American Motors

Here's some moody and noisy new music from Pennsylvania band American Motors.  "No Horses" is a mix of grungey alt-rock, post punk, noise rock, along with some hints of post hardcore.  It's nice.  Check the track out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Functional Music" LP here from Expert Work Records.

Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals

Baltimore hip-hop duo Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals dropped their new "AMDIA" EP this morning, and it's got all the unique, underground production, stylistic left turns, and pissed off, left wing lyrical content we've come to expect.  Listen to the scathing title track below ("If you're an ICE agent, kill yourself...your kids are better off without you") and download everything here from Phantom Limb.

Liars

This morning, Liars announced their 11th(!) album, "A Ban on Plastic Bag Bans," out next year on Mute.  It's absolutely wild to think the band (albeit with a revolving lineup) has been making weird music for us for almost 25 years.  Check out new tune "Ice Pick, Kalamazoo" below and pre-order the LP here.

Daily Jam - Trees

Digging around on YouTube the other night, and i came across this killer instrumental track from Belgian band Demon.  "Trees" is a little jazzy, a little proggy, a little easy listening, and chill as all fuck.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Shabazz Palaces

I am not going to be able to post nearly as much music today as i had intended to.  I'm drowning in my workload and it's looking like this week is going to, in a word, suck.  So, before i head back to the salt mine, here's some cool new music from Seattle based hip-hop artist Shabazz Palaces.  New album "It's a Style Sport" is out in October.  Pre-order it here from Sub Pop and listen to "Ahh World (I Won the Alpha Bet)" below.
