Backxwash

I just heard Canadian rapper Backxwash for the first time a few weeks ago with her appearance on a new track from post punk band Algiers.  Doing a little digging, and the rapper has released some really dark and impressive work on her own mixing hip-hop, metal, punk, noise, and more.  New album "His Happiness Shall Come First Even Though We Are Suffering" just dropped today, and it kicks ass.  Check out "VIBANDA" featuring Morgan-Paige and Michael Go below and get the album here.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Drowning the Colossus

For the penultimate track of October Edition Daily Jams, i bring you an early cut from White Zombie, when they were much more of a New York noise band back in the '80s.  They still skewed towards the macabre though.  Here's "Drowning the Colossus," our Daily Jam.

Tai Chi Tommy

Tai Chi Tommy makes a spooky mix of lo-fi doo-wop, surf rock, and garage psych.  New album "Nightmares at the Sad Souls Social Club" sounds like it was assembled from a thousand different Halloween novelty 45s from the '50s and '60s, and pureed into its truest form.  Check out the lament of "Nightmares" above and order the record here from Library of the Occult.

I do love me some Goblin.  Here's the progressive rock band with their theme from "Profondo Rosso," aka "Deep Red," our Daily Jam.

Voice Actor

I'm not 100% sure what to make of "Sent from my Telephone," the absolutely massive new album from Voice Actor.  The album comes in at over 100 tracks and over 3 hours long and is a mesmerizing and woozy mix of ambient synths, old hip-hop samples, hypnotic spoken word, digital folk, and other sonic detritus.  Put yourself in a trance and check the whole thing out here from STROOM.tv, but listen to "Another Day" below in the meantime.

Foam Giant

The Telescopes and Flavor Crystals have combined their talents again for a new Foam Giant album.  "Under the Trees" is described as a "soundtrack to a Danish film that was never made in 1991."  Cool.  Check out the practically oozing "Billiken (When Are You Coming Down)" below and order the record here from mpls ltd.

Here's some crunchy and woozy alt-rock from Pittsburgh band feeble little horse.  There's some real '90s vibes all over "Hayday."  Check out "Dog Song 2" below and order the record here.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - The Lurch

Ted Cassidy, the actor who portrayed Lurch on "The Addams Family" in the '60s, recorded a novelty track as his TV character with musician Gary S. Paxton.  Lurch is no longer just creepy butler.  Now it's a dance.  Do "The Lurch" below, our Daily Jam.

Post punk band Algiers released the excellent collaborative track "Bite Back" with Billy Woods and Backxwash last month, infusing all kinds of new sounds into their usual mix of post punk, soul, and gospel.  That was just the teaser.  February brings us new album "Shook," featuring a slew of different guest artists to shake things up (pun absolutely intended), including Rage Against the Machine's Zack De La Rocha.  Check out "Irreversible Damage" below and pre-order the record here from Matador.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - People Are Strange

It's highly likely that i heard Echo and The Bunnymen's version of "People Are Strange" before ever hearing the original by The Doors.  I chalk that up to being 8 at the time and absolutely loving "The Lost Boys."  So, here it is, our Daily Jam.

BIG|BRAVE

The hard-to-pin-down Montreal trio BIG|BRAVE had a banner year in 2021, releasing an excellent album of heavy post-metal and a equally excellent collaboration with fellow noise making duo The Body.  And now they've got a new album heading our way early next year.  Check out the doom-laden "Carvers, Farriers and Knaves" below and pre-order the "Nature Morte" LP here from Thrill Jockey.

October Horror Trailer - The Child

Whole lot going on for me this weekend.  Too much really, and all i really wanna do is pop some popcorn and watch some horror movies.  I'll just have to listen instead.  Here's Fabio Frizzi with his theme from Lucio Fulci's "The Beyond."  Listen to "Voci dal Nula" below, our Daily Jam.

Men I Trust

Here's a great new slinky pop song from Montreal's Men I Trust sung in equal parts English and French.  Listen to "Girl" below and download it here.

Burial

Burial just dropped a new EP for our weekend perusal.  "Streetlands" is a stripped down, eerie, and dreamlike mix of hushed synths, field recordings, and warbled, faraway samples, a perfect follow up to the "Antidawn" EP released earlier this year.  Check out the title track below and get the record here from Hyperdub.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - What's He Building?

Malibu

French electronic artist Malibu has a new EP of dreamy sonic explorations heading our way next month.  Check out our first taste, "So Far Out of Love," which sounds like being lost at sea, the ebb and flow of the ocean expanding into the sky.  Listen below and pre-order "Palaces of Pity" here from UNO NYC.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - The Mirror Reflecting (Part 2)

Here's some dark and atmospheric music from The Haxan Cloak for what's actually a pretty chilly morning here in Central Texas.  "The Mirror Reflecting (Part 2)" feels like it's lifted straight out of a horror film, tense and foreboding, eyes on you from somewhere unseen.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.
