A couple weeks ago, Austin band Heavy Meddo, the project of former Sound Team member Bill Baird, dropped a proper full-length LP with "Spiritual Stripmall." It's nice and crunchy. Listen to "Cycle Says the World Is Ending" below and grab the album here from Spaceflight Records.
There are a lot of great things about this country. Don't let the assholes have it. It belongs to you. It belongs to us. Happy 4th. Listen to Sam Cooke and "A Change Is Gonna Come" below, our Daily Jam.
And here's some pretty and dreamy new shoegaze-tinged bedroom pop from French artist Bleu Reine. Check out "Cavalier Seul" below and download it here from Geographie.
Here's an awesome, proggy new age track from Japanese composer Akira Ito for you Friday evening. Listen to "舞水の調べ," or "Melody of Dancing Water" below, our Daily Jam.
A lot of the time, i'll check out an album based solely on the album art. And so we have "Voyager" from French artist Vitalic. Just look at that thing above. How could i not listen to this, a groovy blend of techno, Italodisco, darkwave, and electronica. Dig on "Levitation" below and get the album here from Citizen Records.
Here's a new track from Boy Harsher. "Jeans" is probably the poppiest thing the duo have ever made, leaning less towards the darkwave sound they typically do. Check out the video below.
LA band Paycheque make a mix of synth pop, new wave, vaporwave, and electro-pop that feels like it's being beamed in from some alternate past. Check out the vintage-looking video for "Heatwave" below and grab the band's self-titled debut here from Mansions and Millions.
Aw yeah, that new Fat Dog song that dropped back in May was a harbinger of things to come, as the UK band has announced forthcoming new album "Cancel Me (I'm Tired)" for release in October. Dig on the bouncy, propulsive title track below and pre-order the LP here from Domino.
