Deep Glens

I didn't get home today until late, so gonna be logging off here in just a sec.  But first, here's some cool IDM-infused electronic music from Minnesota artist Deep Glens.  New album "Carver" came out a couple weeks back, and it's a pretty solid listen.  Check out the glitchy, album opening "ok ak" below and snag a copy of the LP here.

October Horror Trailer - Onslaught

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Graveyard

Spooky season is upon us.  One thing i love about it is all the old novelty and surf rock tracks from the '60s.  Seriously, there are probably a thousand random 7" records out there by bands called The Draculas or The Hobgoblins or something whose sole release starts with the creaking sound of crypt opening, followed by a woman's scream, followed by the sickest surf rock riff you've ever heard.  Just fantastic stuff.  Anyway, here's The Phantom Five with "Graveyard," our October Edition Daily Jam.

they are gutting a body of water

Philly shoegaze band they are gutting a body of water are prepping an absolutely massive mixtape with their upcoming new release "Kool Faith / Loosies II," a 29-track collection featuring guest appearances from a slew of other indie artists like Hotline TNT, Cashier, Total Wife, and more.  Check out "Charger Spec," their collab with Horse Jumper of Love below and pre-order the double-LP here from ATO.

Diasonics

Here's some new groove from Moscow funk and library band Diasonics.  Dig on "Devio" below and download it here from the band.

Daily Jam - Back Like 8 Track

Probably one of the most fun bands i've ever encountered, both live and on tape, Brighton's The Go! Team combine elements of garage rock, lo-fi pop, throwback samples, synth pop, rap, and cheerleader vocals to absolutely delirious effect.  I love them so much.  Here's a cut from their 2011 album "Rolling Blackouts."  Listen to "Back Like 8 Track" below, our Daily Jam.

Anna Butterss

Back in 2024, LA artist Anna Butterss released her experimental jazz fusion LP, "Might Vertebrate."  Here's a track she just dropped that didn't make the cut.  But maybe it should have.  Listen to the excellent "Ninths" below and download it here from International Anthem.

Daily Jam - Billy Breathes

I don't really care for Phish.  In fact, all that '90s/'00s jam band stuff i find to be pretty unbearable.  That being said, one night in college i got incredibly high with some friends who were very much into Phish, and they made me listen to the band' 1996 album "Billy Breathes."  Readers, i guess it was probably the weed, but that night i got it.  Pretty much just that night though.  When i came back to earth, i found my old opinions still intact.  But i will admit that there a couple of tracks on that record that i can listen to now and enjoy the hell out of.  Like the wonderful title track.  Both stoned Tommy and sober Tommy can agree on that one.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Keep Shelly in Athens

Here's a new track from Greek dreampop project Keep Shelly in Athens.  Listen to "I Love You but I Don't Like You" below and download it here from Athenian Aura Recordings.

Kunzite

It's been so hot here for weeks and weeks and weeks now.  I'm really ready for summer to end folks.  But i just couldn't resist the above album cover to Hawaiian duo Kunzite's new "Secrets" album.  Listen to the summery psychedelic alt-rock of "Soursop" below and download the album here from Sol System Records.

IROIRO

Seattle band IROIRO are all set to release their self-titled full-length album next month, an instrumental mix of alt-pop, krautrock, psychedelia, and space rock.  Dig on the groove of "Nanashi" below and pre-order the LP here.

Daily Jam - Dirt

It's another Monday, another week, and we're at it again.  Here's Tobacco featuring a vocal assist from Aesop Rock.  Listen to "Dirt" below, our Daily Jam.

Die Verlierer

Berlin post punk band Die Verlierer dropped their "Ideale" LP over the weekend, it's full of old school October vibes, gothy punk for a 1980 Halloween rave.  Check out the title track below and get the record here from the band.

Brian Ellis

Here's a sick new track from California artist Brian Ellis.  Let the boogie commence.  Check out the synth funk power of "Metal" below and grab the "Metal / Warp" 7" here from Star Creature Universal Vibrations.

Daily Jam - It Ain't Hard to Tell

Ladies and gentlemen...Nas.  Listen to "It Ain't Hard to Tell" below, our Daily Jam.

Deer Park & Valeria Litvakov

Here's a cool and weird new collaborative track from Deer Park and Valeria Litvakov.  Dig on the lo-fi bedroom alt-rock of "The Neverhood" below and download it here, along with the duo's other new track "Better than Mine" here from Deleted.

Daily Jam - Back Home Again

There's a lot of stuff out there that has never had a vinyl release.  Deserving stuff.  One of those deserving albums is the 2000 tribute to John Denver, "Take Me Home."  Here's Low's beautiful cover of "Back Home Again," our Daily Jam.

Weaver

Let the AM radio vibes flow with some throwback '70s pop rock sounds from Atlanta's Weaver.  The artist's self-titled full-length is out next month.  Pre-order it here from Primordial Void and listen to the psych and Americana-tinged "Don't You Feel Old" below.

Friday Horror Trailer - Scream

Daily Jam - Enchanted Place

It's been another long and shitty day today, and i'm stressed the fuck out.  Gonna center myself for a sec with some soothing sounds from The Gentle Waves, the project of former Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell.  Listen to "Enchanted Place" below, our Daily Jam.

White Poppy

Time to just sail away on a hazy dream.  This time around with "Weight of the World," the new single from dreampop artist White Poppy.  Listen to the track below and just fade away.  And download it here.

Calla

It's been almost two decades since we last heard from New York band Calla, but next month brings us new album "De Facto."  New tune "Paralyzed" has a synthy post punk thing going for it, propulsive beats, eerie synth notes, and gloomy guitar riffs.  Check it out below and pre-order the new LP here from the band.

Yndling

Here's a dreamy new track from Norwegian artist Yndling.  Check out the quite lovely "Shell" below and download it here from the artist.

Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan

The last Friday in October brings us new music from UK electronic artist Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan, which seems fitting because "This Machine," the opening track on the forthcoming "Industrial Growth" LP, has an almost sinister quality to it.  This is definitely a darker mood than we usually get from the artist.  Check the track out below and pre-order the LP here from Castles in Space.

Daily Jam - Gentle Wave

Why don't you dig on some spacey, groovy, jazzy sounds from Japanese pianist and composer Hirosama Suzuki this fine morning?  I know i am.  Here's a cut from the artist's 1977 album "Skip Step Colgen."  Listen to "Gentle Wave" below, our Daily Jam.

Beck

Last week, Beck quietly released his 15th studio album with "Ride Lonesome."  It's been a few years since his last full-length, and on the new album he's digging back into those sad Beck sounds, akin to the lush and melancholy vibes of "Sea Change" or "Morning Phase."  Check out the gentle "In the Night" below and get the LP here.

Wayfarer

Denver band Wayfarer make a kind of western-tinged hard rock music, like the heavy soundtrack to some bleak Spaghetti Western, but with occasional bursts of doom and black metal interspersed among the psychedelic Americana.  Definitely its own vibe, and it transports right into the thick of it.  Check out "Hollow Hearts on the Trail to Eden" below and pre-order the band's forthcoming "Riders of the Setting Sun" LP here from Vesperian.

Thorn Wych

Here's some strange and haunting experimental folk from UK artist Thorn Wych.  The music on "Aesthesis" sounds ancient, like the musical accompaniment to some exotic ritual, passed down through the ages, old myths and foreign customs.  Check out the warped and yearning strings of "Longing Song" below and get the LP here from Tompkins Square.

Daily Jam - I Love You, Honeybear

Eleven years on, and i think that Father John Misty's sophomore album "I Love You, Honeybear" is still one of the best odes to being stupid, crazy in love out there.  And he nails it from the opening title track.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Jonathan Bree

New Zealand artist Jonathan Bree drops the dark and horny pop album of the year with his new "Don't Call it Love" LP.  I guess that album cover is the first indication of what's going on here, a sultry mix of trip-hop, R&B, and electro-pop.  Check out "Savour My Love" featuring vocals from Rachel Clarke below, and get the double LP here from Lil' Chief Records.

The Sick Man of Europe

London based project The Sick Man of Europe makes dark electro post punk jams for goth raves and vampire parties.  Dig on the propulsive new track "Eyeless/Mindless" below and order the new "The Intermittent Signal" LP, out on Friday, here from The Leaf Label.

Daily Jam - Wisdom

Here's a great early track from Brian Jonestown Massacre for your Tuesday afternoon.  Listen to "Wisdom" below, our Daily Jam.

Winter at Sea

Here is some epic and sprawling new post rock from UK band Winter at Sea.  "Hearts" is a cinematic suite comprised of five different pieces that plays like a closed fist shaking defiantly at the universe.  Check it out below and get the cassette here from A Cheery Wave Records.

Living Hour

Winnipeg bedroom dreampop/shoegaze band are set to drop their new "Magnet" EP at the end of the week.  Check out the tranquil, ethereal title track below and pre-order the download here from Paper Bag Records.

The Balloonist

It's been a long day (again).  Here are some lovely sounds from The Balloonist to just make it all float away.  "Curtain Light" is a soothing, kinda trippy mix of dreampop, chillwave, and lo-fi vaporwave, the perfect kind of track to close your eyes and disintegrate to.  Listen below and pre-order the upcoming "Spirit Duplicator" album here from Wayside & Woodland Recordings.

Daily Jam - Sugarcube

Today, here's the great indie rock band Yo La Tengo with "Sugarcube."  Watch the director's cut of the video below, featuring Bob Odenkirk, David Cross, and John Ennis from Mr. Show, our Daily Jam.

Dummy

LA band Dummy fuse elements of shoegaze, psychedelia, and the late '80s/early '90s sounds of Manchester to delirious effect.  On their upcoming new album "Do You Love the Color of the Sky?," the band sites artists like Seefeel, Windy and Carl, Bjork, The Sundays, and Madonna's "Ray of Light" as influences.  That's a lot of cool sounds coming together.  Check out "Full Spectrum Dominance" below and pre-order the LP here from Polyvinyl.

Bodywash

Montreal duo Bodywash have a new album heading our way in November with the forthcoming "Laughing at Noise" LP.  New track "Lapsang" has some cool '90s alt-rock vibes going for it, bits of slowcore guitar melodies and post-grunge riffs.  Check it out below and pre-order the album here from Light Organ Records.

Daily Jam - Flux

If you're still in bed, here's your Sunday morning wake up call from Bardo Pond.  Some '90s noisy, psychedelic space/post rock should do the trick.  Listen to "Flux" below, our Daily Jam.

SOUL GLO

I see that OKC band Chat Pile are playing in Austin next month, and that Philly hardcore/noise rock band SOUL GLO are opening.  Think i may have to get myself a ticket.  The former's new album dropped a couple weeks back, and it's a beast.  The latter's new album "Na I'm Gon Grab Allat" is out in January.  It will probably be a beast as well.  Check out "February Theory" below and pre-order the LP here from Epitaph.

Sleepwalk

November brings us new music from the excellent Chicago band Sleepwalk, whose blend of grungey alt-rock, shoegaze, and emo hits just right around these parts.  Dig on new tune "Sandbox" below and pre-order the "View from the Outside" LP here from MNRK Heavy.

Daily Jam - Poptones

Pretty good day today, full of Oktoberfest celebrations and college football...and so much heat.  We're dying down here.  So stay hydrated and listen to some Public Image Ltd. with "Poptones" below, our Daily Jam.

Beach House Covers Robert Lester Folsom

Robert Lester Folsom's underground psych-folk/soft rock "Music and Dreams" LP turns 50 this year.  To celebrate, it's getting a special edition release with loads of extra tracks, one of which is a cover of album standout "April Suzanne" by dreampop duo Beach House.  Check the track out below and grab the 7" single here on Anthology Recordings, also featuring the OG version on the B-side.

Friday Horror Trailer - Witchcraft '70

Subject Sue

Keeping the October in September vibes going with some new darkwave synth pop from Amsterdam based band Subject Sue.  The group's new "Details in the Dark" EP is out next month.  Pre-order it here from Avant! Records and listen to the gloomy, yet bouncy, title track below.

Theodor Bastard

Here's some dark and icy gothic electro-pop from Russian band Theodor Bastard.  Check out slightly trip-hop-tinged "Sverkay" below and pre-order the band's forthcoming "▽" LP here from Season of Mist.

Daily Jam - Marble House

Pretty crazy to think that The Knife's "Silent Shout" turned 20 years old earlier this year.  Just another one of those things to make me feel ancient.  Here's the Swedish electronic duo with "Marble House," our Daily Jam.

Sean Wolcott

Last month, Seattle artist Sean Wolcott dropped his new album "Lady Swordfighter: Disciple of Dishonor," a very fucking cool faux soundtrack meant to evoke the music of Japanese films from the '60s and '70s.  Elements of psych, jazz, funk, soul, and more abound.  Listen to "Heaven Has No Swords" below and pre-order the forthcoming vinyl here from Library of the Occult.  You can also download the whole thing here from the artist.
