Daily Jam - We Are Safe Inside While They Burn Down Our House

The last few months, i've been going back and listening to a lot of CD's i got back in the '00s.  It's a whole lot of indie rock (which was booming at the time).  I have to be honest that a lot of it has aged like milk, but there are still several albums that ring true to these ears.  One of those is the debut album of German artist Get Well Soon, "Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon."  The record is moody and eclectic and still hits all the right buttons like it did back in 2008.  Check out the almost mournful "We Are Safe Inside While They Burn Down Our House" below, our Daily Jam.

Softcult

Here's another fuzzy new track from shoegaze-tinged alt-rock band Softcult's upcoming new album.  Listen to the dreamy, grungy "Queen of Nothing" below, pay what you want for the song download here, and pre-order the "When a Flower Doesn't Grow" LP here.

Friday Horror Trailer - Terrifier 3

Daily Jam - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye

Let's end the work week with a track from one of my favorites, the one and only Leonard Cohen.  Here's a song from his debut.  Listen to "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" below, our Daily Jam.

Altin Gün

Amsterdam based Turkish psychedelic band Altin Gün are back in January with their 6th album "Garip."  These guys have been going at it for a while now and always bring a wonderful mix of psych, funk, and Anatolian rock for our listening pleasure.  Dig on new tune "Neredesin Sen" below and pre-order the LP here from ATO.

Daily Jam - Initials B.B.

There is a mountain of stuff to get done in front of me, holiday season and all, and i just can't bring myself to get started.  Just going to listen to some Serge Gainsbourg instead.  Check out "Initials B.B." below, our Daily Jam.

Jacuzzi Boys

I did not realize that Miami garage rock band Jacuzzi Boys were still making music, which is not that surprising i suppose as new album "Too Cold to Tango" is their first full length release in almost a decade.  Anyhoo, the boys still got it.  Dig on "Ozone" below and order the LP here.

Daily Jam - The Siren Sings

They were only around for a few years, but Kansas emo-tinged alt-rock band The Anniversary really made a lovely pop record with their second and final album "Your Majesty."  In a lot of ways, it kind of served as proto-indie rock album in 2002, a forebear of things and sounds to come.  Check out the dramatic "The Siren Sings" below, our Daily Jam.

Julian Never

February 2026 looks to bring us the jangliest and poppiest of jangly pop from California artist Julian Never.  Check out the lovely new tune "Push" below and pre-order the upcoming "Everyday Is Purgation" LP here from Mt. St. Mtn.

Daily Jam - Starlight on the Barrow Downs

Here's a short but awesome track from instrumental metal group The Fucking Champs that practically oozes across your eardrums.  Listen to "Starlight on the Barrow Downs" below, our Daily Jam.

Agnes Martian

Sit back, relax, and get ready to explore the universe with the planetarium sounds of Oakland band Agnes Martian.  The group's new album "Elsewhere" fuses electronica, jazz, kosmische psychedelia, new age, and library sounds into a sonic interstellar journey.  Check out "Cycle Heart Echo" below and order the LP here from Centripetal Force.

Echo Instinct

Echo Instinct is the electronic project of Kat Day and Nicholas Wood, the duo behind the synth-laden, shoegazey band The KVB.  New album "Electronic Soundscapes for Post-Industrial Urban Decay" dropped last week and is an icy and meticulous piece of work, music for a cold and gray world.  Listen to "Imagined Order" below and get the cassette here.

Daily Jam - Babylonia Wind

Japanese jazz time!  Here's a killer number from the Kiyoshi Sugimoto Quintet, the title track from their 1972 album "Babylonia Wind."  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Emil Rottmayer

And now it's time for some '80s synth wave vibes from electronic artist Emil Rottmayer.  New album "V.O.L.T." is out now.  Listen to the chilled out title track below and order the LP here from Eye Witness Records.

Daily Jam - Kingdom of Doom

Today was one of those days that just got away from me.  It's pushing 9:30pm and there's a ton of shit i still need to do...like post a Daily Jam.  So here's The Good, The Bad & The Queen with "Kingdom of Doom," our Daily Jam.

Dramamine

In between bouts of college football and Christmas shopping today, the wife and i are gonna hit up a Total Wine or Spec's liquor store and imbibe a bunch of free samples.  Wheeee!  Anyway, before that, here's some wonderful psych and shoegaze-tinged alt-rock from Philly band Dramamine's recent "Heights Lake" album.  Dig on "Dearly Beloved" below and download the album here from the band.

Daily Jam - Coldest Night of the Year

English folk singer/songwriter Vashti Bunyan released a couple of singles in the '60s and then a full-length LP in 1970, and then left the music business for over 30 years before returning with new music in the mid '00s.  Around that same time, a collection of her singles and demos from the '60s was compiled, and it's one of my favorite things.  Check out a track from said collection, "Coldest Night of the Year," below, our Daily Jam.

Sadness

Ever the prolific artist, here's some astonishing new music from the one-man black metal/shogaze/post-rock/ambient/experimental project Sadness.  Download the artist's new 2-song album "Shimmer" here (pay what you want) and listen to the gorgeous, transcendent title track below.

Friday Horror Trailer - Silent Night, Bloody Night

Daily Jam - Dear Friends

Here's some wonderful private press '70s folk pop from Autumn Dust to start winding down our Friday afternoon to.  Dig on the mellow, sunset vibes of "Dear Friends" below, our Daily Jam.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith

Here's a sprawling new track from LA-based electronic artist Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.  "I Miss the Way You Swim" channels soothing new age music, a soundtrack to meditation, yoga, or just staring into space.  Check it out below and download it here from Nettwerk.

Xiu Xiu

Long running experimental band Xiu Xiu have been making interesting music for years and years now, and in the mix of all that have been numerous cover versions of songs that the band really make their own.  January sees the release of new album "Xiu Mutha Fuckin' Xiu: Vol. 1," a collection of covers from the band spanning everyone from The Talking Heads to The Runaways.  Check out their absolutely gutting version of Daniel Johnston's "Some Things Last a Long Time" below and pre-order the LP here from Polyvinyl Records.

Daily Jam - See It? See It?

Here's some barely there lo-fi, experimental indie folk from Minneapolis band Fog.  Listen to "See It? See It?" below, our Daily Jam.

Marine Eyes

I don't want to jinx it, but it's kind of quiet morning today.  And a quiet morning deserves some appropriately tranquil music.  LA artist Marine Eyes just released her new album "Morning Will Come" last week, and it should do nicely.  Listen to the ethereal ambience of "Moonflower" below and download the album here.

Daily Jam - Hopelessly Devoted to You

Growing up with an older sister in the '80s meant that Olivia Newton-John and the soundtrack to "Grease" were unavoidable.  They're some of the first songs i remember listening to outside of what my parents would have been playing.  Here's a sappy love song from it.  Listen to "Hopelessly Devoted to You" below, our Daily Jam.

IDLES Remixed

Over the summer, Bristol post punk band IDLES released the soundtrack to Darren Aronofsky's "Caught Stealing."  Today, the group dropped some remixes from said soundtrack featuring mixes from artists like Yeah Yeah Yeahs member Nick Zinner and experimental noise makers Lip Critic.  Check out Interpol's mix of "Rabbit Run" below and download everything here from Partisan Records.

Daily Jam - Possum Kingdom

Were you a teenager in Texas in the mid '90s?  Chances are you or your friend had a copy of the Toadies' "Rubberneck."  The DFW band was a seminal part of my adolescence, their kinda creepy odes to obsession and death delivered with that evangelical twang setting them apart from the rest of that decade's alt-rock acts.  They even got national play with their single "Possum Kingdom," which is either about stalking and killing a girl or being a vampire.  It works either way.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

The Notwist

Long running German indie band The Notwist are set to release their new album in March.  Check out the poppy and frenetic "X-Ray" below and pre-order the upcoming "News from Planet Zombie" here from Morr Music.

Melody's Echo Chamber

Friday brings us new music from Melody's Echo Chamber.  The artist's fourth album, "Unclouded," comes with psychedelic pop aplenty, and album opener "The House that Doesn't Exist" channels the sounds of French pop to delightful effect.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from Domino.

Daily Jam - Play with Me

I heard Extreme's "Play with Me" the other day and had no idea it was an Extreme song.  To me, it had always been that song from the Mall scene in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."  It's kind of silly, but it's fun.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.
