Daily Jam - Papaya

I will be going off the grid for the next few days, hopefully calming and centering myself while listening to the sounds of the ocean.  I leave you with some obscure grunge from the '90s.  Listen to Smile's "Papaya Clearance Sale" below, our Daily Jam.

Perennial

I've been fortunate enough to catch New England garage rock band Perennial a few times over the years at SXSW.  They're one of those bands that ends up playing 20 shows over a 5-day period while they're in town.  I can't even imagine.  Anyway, they've got a new album heading our way in September with "Modernism," and judging by lead-off single "What's New on the Beat Scene," it's gonna be a rocker.  Check the track out below and pre-order the LP here from Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Formal Sppeedwear

Here's some off-kilter, angular, new-wavey post-punk from UK band Formal Sppeedwear.  The group's new album "Punch Card" is out in August.  Pre-order it here from Melodic Records and listen to "Who Needs Spain Ball" below.

Daily Jam - Nothing Came Out

I don't know what, but something made me think of The Moldy Peaches the other day, the early '00s lo-fi indie duo of Adam Green and Kimya Dawson.  Talk about a sonic snapshot of a particular moment in time.  Anyhoo, thinking of them made me listen to them.  Listen to the unrequited love song "Nothing Came Out" below, our Daily Jam.

Genghis Tron

Genghis Tron.  Now that's a name i haven't thought of in a long time.  But the New York band is back with a new album of industrial and electronic metal with "Signal Fire."  Check out album opener "I Am All" below and get the LP here from Relapse.

raudiver Remixed

Houston darkwave duo raudiver just a couple of new remixed tracks on the new "Rau-mixes Vol 1: Kontravoid + Jennifer Touch" 7".  Check out Kontravoid's techno mix of "No Sign Rising" below and grab the record here from Geodesic.

Daily Jam - The Third Ring's Watery Flow

Here's some mellow music from British artist, and former Deep Purple member, Roger Glover.  "The Third Ring's Watery Flow" sounds like something from a nature documentary or a planetarium show, a mix of new age, jazz, prog, and symphonic rock.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Casket Cassette

I've been digging on the mix of darkwave and dreampop from LA artist Casket Cassette since first hearing him back in March (when i missed his performance during SXSW).  Every single has been a total synth pop banger, and now he's dropped a new full-length album with "REDUCER."  Check out the haunted and dreamy "Apathy" below and pay what you want for the download here from the artist.

Temple

Let's darken things up a little with some new death rock / darkwave from Temple.  Listen to "Entropy" below and download the "Look Away" EP here from SwissDarkNights.
