Daily Jam - My Sentimental Melody

Daily Jam - Winter's Going

Here's a little gently psych folk from Bonnie Dobson for your Thursday.  Listen to "Winter's Going" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - You're Lost Little Girl

I'm in LA right now.  Seems only right that i should listen to some music by The Doors.  Here's "You're Lost Little Girl," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - To Here Knows When

Every once in a while, i can go back and listen to My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless," and it's like hearing it for the first time.  Just a perfect and amazing record.  Listen to "To Here Knows When" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Holocaust

Big Star are one of those bands that influenced pretty much everybody, but for whatever reason were kind of ignored during their own time.  I dig them a lot, particularly their third album, when they started to get weird.  Listen to the quietly devastating "Holocaust" below, our Daily Jam.

Pink Mexico

Here's some new shoegaze i missed last month from New York band Pink Mexico.  Layered guitars.  Feedback.  Dreamy vocals.  Reverb.  It's all here.  Check out "Junkie Smile" below and get the new "Mirrorhead" LP here from Quiet Panic.

Daily Jam - Solaris 2014

When Failure came roaring back to life in 2014, they re-recorded a track from their 1996 masterpiece "Fantastic Planet," a slowed down, extended version of "Solaris."  The new version sounds like being lost in space.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Mammatus

You gotta love when an album cover gives you pretty much all the information you need on what the music therein sounds like.  And so we have "Expanding Majesty," the latest release from Mammatus.  Trippy, heady, proggy, stoned, psychedelic rock prevails.  Check out the title track below and download the album here from Silver Current Records (the vinyl is sadly already sold out).

Daily Jam - Take, Take, Take

Officially on vacation as of last night.  And it's gonna go by way too fast.  Here's The Helio Sequence with "Take, Take, Take," our Daily Jam.

Teeth of the Sea

UK experimental band Teeth of the Sea have been churning out a mix of electronic, prog, and psychedelia for years now, and today they dropped a rediscovered track made back in 2009.  Listen to the analog electronics of "Cities of Gold" below and download it here from the band.

Friday Horror Trailer - Hellraiser: Bloodline

 

Daily Jam - Lullabye

Here's a short, sweet, and tender little number from Emitt Rhodes.  Listen to "Lullabye" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Way It Is

Here's a wonderful, brokenhearted lament from Nicole Atkins for your Thursday listening.  Check out "The Way It Is" below, our Daily Jam.

Aphex Twin

Getting all kinds of big release news the last couple of days, and now it appears we've got a new EP from the enigmatic Richard D. James, aka Aphex Twin, coming our way next month.  Check out new tune "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f" below and pre-order the "Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / In a Room7 F760" EP here from Warp.

Woke up this morning to the news that Slowdive are back with new music.  Happy day!  The band's new album, "Everything Is Alive," is out in September.  Pre-order it here from Dead Oceans and let's all listen to the dreamy "Kisses" while we wait for the rest of the thing to drop.

Sprain

LA band Sprain have a new record coming our way in September, and our first taste, "Man Proposes, God Disposes," is a cool mix of post-punk and post-hardcore noise.  The track is all over the place, spoken lyrics and shouting, shredding guitars, and feels like it might unravel at any second, but somehow manages to keep it all together for its 7-minute runtime.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming "The Lamb as Effigy" LP here from The Flenser.

Daily Jam - Untrust Us

Fifteen years on, this song's still a banger.  Listen to Crystal Castles' "Untrust Us" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Malpractice

Just a few days to go before i start my vacation, so starting the countdown with some of my favorite music from one of my favorite bands.  Here's Faith No More with "Malpractice," our Daily Jam.

Black Bones

Here's some very cool, dubby post punk from Belfast's Black Bones that's just the right amount of weird for a Sunday morning.  Check out "All in Good Time" below and download it here from Glasgow label Optimo Music.

Daily Jam - Towards the Dream

About to head out for some Father's Day beer and brunch in the hill country.  I'll leave you with some electronic music from Steve Roach.  Listen to "Towards the Dream" below, our Daily Jam.

Gae Vinci

Here's some wonderful music from the Milan based producer Gae Vinci.  "Lonely Ballads" is a hazy and melancholy mix of electronics, dreampop, shoegaze, and more.  Check out the haunting, album opening "Lonely Ballad" below and get the record here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Your God Is Dead

There are far, far too many fascists and Nazis out there.  We used to understand that.  The excellently named English industrial band Mussolini Headkick sure understood it.  Here's a track from their 1989 album "Themes for Violent Retribution" to kick some Nazi heads to.  Listen to "Your God Is Dead" below, our Daily Jam.

Mutoid Man

Stephen Brodsky and Mutoid Man are back next month with new album "Mutants" to blast our ears and shake our bones.  Check out new tune "Siren Song" below, and pre-order the download here or the vinyl here from Sargent House.

Friday Horror Trailer - The Unseen

Daily Jam - Hot Knights

It is unreasonably hot here.  It's making me think twice before doing anything outside today, or tomorrow, or the next few days after that.  Guess i'll just listen to A Certain Ratio.  Here's "Hot Knights," our Daily Jam.

Sigur Rós

Sigur Rós are surprise releasing new album "ÁTTA" tomorrow, and the first single is the kind of beautiful, minimalist neo-classical, and post rock sound we've come to expect from the band, even if it's been a few years since we last heard from them.  Check out "Blóðberg" below and watch the glaciers move.  Look for the album digitally tomorrow from BMG and pre-order the vinyl, due in September, here.

Daily Jam - Group Four

I wonder how much money Massive Attack made when "Teardrop" was used as the theme song to the TV show "House?"  I would guess a pretty penny.  Anyway, here's another song from the "Mezzanine" album.  Listen to "Group Four" below, our Daily Jam.

Paint

Fresh off the news of a new Allah-Las record coming our way, band member Pedrum Siadatian's side project Paint announces a new record of their own with next month's "Loss for Words."  Check out "Rokc Muzik" below and pre-order the album here.

Daily Jam - Whales Tails

In solidarity with the orcas attacking the rudders on a bunch of ships of the Strait of Gibraltar, let's float around with some Cocteau Twins for a bit.  Here's "Whales Tails," our Daily Jam.

Allah-Las

New music from California's Allah-Las is on the horizon.  New album "Zuma 85" drops in October on Innovative Leisure.  Pre-order it here and dig on the chilled out vibes of the title track below.

Daily Jam - Here

And now for some classic Pavement.  Listen to "Here" below, our Daily Jam.

KENMORE Classic

There is something so otherworldly yet simultaneously familiar about the sounds of vaporwave.  It's an odd little genre that pulls half remembered memories of Muzak in public spaces from the ether and mixes it into a lo-fi stew with bits and pieces of synth, reverb, and more.  It's like being in an alien mall, and it's oh so weirdly soothing.  Montreal artist KENMORE Classic just released new album "Woolcowave" which throws in some exotica and library music into the mix as well.  Grab the cassette here from Austin label Mall Talk Collective and listen to "The North Hall" below.

Daily Jam - Drum Gets a Glimpse

I a sucker for genuinely weird albums, and in 2006, i don't know if there was anything released into the wild weirder than Liars' third album "Drum's Not Dead."  It was a difficult album for some people, but i found that multiple listens opened it up and revealed some beautiful layers interwoven into its sonic tapestry.  Check out the tranquil "Drum Gets a Glimpse" below, our Daily Jam.

Ben Chasny & Rick Tomlinson

Guitarists Ben Chasny and Rick Tomlinson are combining forces on the upcoming new album "Waves," a collection of six experimental tracks.  Check out the hypnotic, droney, and folk-tinged "Waking of Insects" below and pre-order the album here from VOIX.

Daily Jam - Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands

Here's some Bob Dylan for your Sunday.  Listen to "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" below, our Daily Jam.

Pulselovers

UK artist Mat Handley makes electronic music at Pulselovers, and his latest release, "Northern Minimalism 3," serves as a veritable love letter to South Yorkshire, its landscapes and environment, and its culture and sounds.  Post punk vibes abound.  Check out "Shock Cubes" below and order the record here from Castles In Space.

Daily Jam - Please

The legendary John Cale released a new album this year.  Let's go back and listen to a track from his first solo release over 50 years ago.  Listen to "Please" below, our Daily Jam.

Induced Geometry

Here's some droning, experimental, psychedelic synthesizers from Philly project Induced Geometry.  Center yourself, meditate, or what-have-you, and listen to "Digital Sink" below.  Then get the self-titled cassette here from Trouble In Mind.

Friday Horror Trailer - Insect!

AKA "Blue Monkey."

Daily Jam - Ghosts of American Astronauts

I've always meant to go back and explore the discography of UK band The Mekons.  Summer goal i guess.  Let's start with the first song i can remember hearing by them.  Listen to "Ghosts of American Astronauts" below, our Daily Jam.

Deeper

Here's some new music from Chicago post punk band Deeper.  The band's new "Careful!" LP is out in September.  Order it here from Sub Pop and listen to "Build a Bridge" below.

Occults

Trying to get through the rest of this week with a little help from some darkwave and death rock from LA's Occults.  Check out the duo's new track "Communion" below and get it here.

Daily Jam - Saddest Vacant Lot in All the World

Stuff from the '00s being 20 years old now makes my damn brain explode.  Anyway, here's Grandaddy with the now 20-year old "Saddest Vacant Lot in All the World," our Daily Jam.

James & The Giants

Wisconsin artist James Toth is set to release a new album with his James & The Giants project in just a couple of weeks.  Check out "I Wanna Go Down to the Basement" below, a smooth and toe-tapping bar ballad to finish off that last beer and cigarette to.  And pre-order the self-titled record here from Kill Rock Stars.

Daily Jam - Side Effect

Here's a little '00s indie rock for your Wednesday.  Listen to The Czars and "Side Effect" below, our Daily Jam.
