I'm tired.  Here's some Quasi.  Listen to "I Never Want to See You Again" below, our Daily Jam.

MJ Guider

Somehow i missed that New Orleans artist MJ Guider dropped a couple of new songs back in March.  Good ones too.  Anyway, it looks like the vinyl is all gone, but you can still download the "Another Weird Dream" single here from the artist.  It's got kind of a sludgy Bowery Electric thing going on.  Check out the A-side track "Another" below.

Hovvdy

Austin slowcore-tinged indie rock duo Hovvdy have a new record coming our way in August.  Check out the kinda jangly first single "Try Try Try" below and pre-order the "Big World" LP here from Arts & Crafts.

Daily Jam - J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)

Anybody remember that movie "Angus" from the '90s?  That one about the nerdy kid self-conscious about his weight.  George C. Scott plays the grandpa.  James Van Der Beek (pre-Dawson) plays an asshole.  Anyone?  Anyway, the soundtrack had a bunch of '90s alt-rock on it, like this one from Green Day.  Listen to "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)" below, our Daily Jam.

Coming off a three-day weekend, and work is sure making me pay for it.  I'm exhausted.  So here's some Wilson Pickett as a pick-me-up.  Listen and shake to "Land of 1000 Dances" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Omoide no Screen

If all has gone according to plan, i've spent the long weekend with my family meeting some horror icons, riding some rides, eating good food, and drinking some good beer.  Let's close it all out with some mellow sounds of the '70s from Japanese artist Yasuko Kawashima.  Listen to "Omoide no Screen" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Thunder Kiss '65

Weather willing, i'm at Six Flags today, riding rollercoasters and eating junk food with my kids, so i'll leave you with a classic from White Zombie.  Listen to "Thunder Kiss '65" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Signs from an Old World

God willing, i'm at a horror convention today in the DFW area, hanging out with Linnea Quigley or Tom Atkins or someone.  So, i'll leave you with some synth sounds from Chrome Canyon.  Listen to "Signs from an Old World" below, our Daily Jam.

Salem

Michigan witch house band Salem surprise dropped a new 31-track album earlier this week in conjunction with some sort of fashion collab they're doing.  I don't really know anything about the fashion thing, nor do i care to really look into it, but the music is what we've all come to expect from the project.  "Red Dragon" consists of some old detritus that has been floating around online in various forms for the last 20 years, along with some new tunes.  Spooky, hazy, trippy stuff.  No word on any kind of physical release, but you can stream the whole thing here on the band's YouTube page.  In the meanwhile, listen to the title track below.

Street Sects

Here's some noisy new music from Austin industrial band Street Sects.  Check out "No Percentage in Caution" below and pre-order the 7" here from Portrayal of Guilt (the label, not the band...which through no coincidence is owned by the band).

Friday Horror Trailer - Damien: Omen II

 

Daily Jam - I Must Increase My Bust

We try to keep things classy around here, so here's Lords of Acid with "I Must Increase My Bust" to close out the work week.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Xiu Xiu

A few years ago, long-running experimental band Xiu Xiu paid tribute to David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti by covering the music from "Twin Peaks."  This July, they give a nod to Lynch once again with "Eraserhead Xiu Xiu," a new live concert with an accompanying film and album.  Listen to their surreal take on Peter Ivers' "In Heaven" below and pre-order the LP here from Polyvinyl Records.

Bleached Cross

Here's some new darkwave post punk from Chicago band Bleached Cross.  The band's new "Wrath" LP is out in July.  Pre-order it here from New Morality Zine and listen to "Crucible" below.

MIRAR

I don't know too much about French metal band MIRAR, but their mix of prog, industrial, death metal, and more is pretty goddamn awesome.  New album "Gradus ad Parnassum" dropped a few days ago.  Download it here from the band and listen to the spooky and operatic album opener "Stjernebro" below.

Daily Jam - A Daisy Chain 4 Satan (Acid and Flowers Mix)

Last month saw the vinyl release of a bunch of Wax Trax era My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult remixes on Record Store Day.  We'll just say it put me in a mood, and i've been listening to the band a lot since.  Here's a track from 1990's "Confessions of a Knife..."  Listen to "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan (Acid and Flowers Mix)" below, our Daily Jam.

Cigarettes After Sex

Here's a dreamy and moody new track from LA's Cigarettes After Sex.  Listen to "Twizzler" below and download the song here from Partisan Records.

Daily Jam - One More Try

I have a soft spot for the music of George Michael.  Probably because i grew up with it, the sounds of those first two solo albums in particular being so prevalent in the pop culture of the late '80s and early '90s.  Here's a ballad from "Faith" for this Wednesday morning.  Listen to "One More Try" below, our Daily Jam.

John Carpenter

August brings us new music from John Carpenter with the forthcoming release of "Cathedral."  And not just that, the album serves as a soundtrack of sorts to a new graphic novel of same name, based on a dream Carpenter had in 2024.  It's probably the closest thing we'll get to a new John Carpenter movie, so consider us stoked.  Check out "Lord of the Underground" below and pre-order here from Sacred Bones.

Daily Jam - The Shadow of Your Smile

My busy season at work typically doesn't begin until about the middle of July, but i am absolutely slammed today.  And it looks like it's going to carry on into next week.  Ugh.  But for now, i'm going to take a couple of minutes and listen to the soothing, gentle bossa nova sounds of Brazilian-born, Japan-based artist Sonia Rosa.  From her 1970 album "Sensitive Sound of Sonia Rosa," listen to "The Shadow of Your Smile" below, our Daily Jam.

Miracle House

I need to get some work done, so i leave you today with some hazy, dubby beats from Miracle House and his upcoming self-titled EP.  Listen to "Sharp Huron Wind Dub" below and pre-order the download here from Primordial Void.

Avenue & Grubby Pawz

Here's some cool and chill new hip-hop from Boston rapper Avenue and producer Grubby Pawz.  New album "Fortune Favors Risk" is out now.  Get it here quick from Daupe Records, as the label's vinyl releases tend to sell out within hours, and check out "9 Ways" featuring Hil Holla and Caliph below.

Daily Jam - Yoru No Sei

The last weekend of May brings the Austin Record Convention back to town, and i've been amassing an ever-expanding list of records to look for, like Japanese folk and avant pop artist Yoshiko Sai's 1975 debut.  Let's check out a track from it.  Listen to "Yoru No Sei" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Claudia

I sure am a sucker for Italian composers and their film and TV scores.  Here's Pino Calvi and a track from his soundtrack to the Italian TV miniseries "L'Enigma Delle Due Sorelle."  Listen to the sultry "Claudia" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Girl Who Faded Away

Dig on some mellow, '60s garage rock sounds from The Hangmen and "The Girl Who Faded Away," our Daily Jam.

Heading to Oklahoma today for my nieces' high school and college graduations.  Super stoked to be stuck in a minivan for 6+ hours.  But before i head out, here's some experimental folk from Jackie-O Motherfucker.  Listen to "Hey! Mr. Sky" below, our Daily Jam.

Brian Ennals & Blockhead

Switching gears a little bit with some new collaborative hip-hop from Baltimore rapper Brian Ennals and New York producer Blockhead.  The duo's full-length "Boat Shoes" LP is out in July on Phantom Limb.  Pre-order it here and listen to "Aldente" below.

Daily Jam - Thuja Magus Imperium

Although i am a fan of their vast catalog, i think Wolves in the Throne Room's magnum opus is probably 2011's "Celestial Lineage."  Here's the album opener, "Thuja Magus Imperium," for consideration.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Allah-Las

LA band Allah-Las just dropped a lovely new instrumental single today with the dreamy and summery "Ultramarine."  Dig on it below and pre-order the 7" (with mystery B-side) here from Mexican Summer.

Strip Joint

Here's some very cool indie rock from Japanese band Strip Joint.  New tune "Mirage (Stranger's Dream)" pulls from American alt-rock and indie folk, along with elements of jazz, post rock, prog, and Japanese pop.  It's quite something.  Check it out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Prayers in Spiral" LP here from KiliKiliVilla.

Daily Jam - Sex Type Thing

And now for a classic from my early teenage years.  You can practically taste the confusion and angst.  Listen to Stone Temple Pilots and "Sex Type Thing" below, our Daily Jam.

Fat Dog

New Fat Dog alert!  New Fat Dog alert!  The UK band, a favorite of mine from SXSW '24 and henceforth, just dropped new song "Go Fuck Urself" yesterday, a synth-heavy and sneering dance track to get the body hopping.  Check it out below and download it here from Domino.

Daily Jam - Sad Sad City

I wonder whatever happened to Austin duo Ghostland Observatory.  Checking on Discogs, and the band released an album back in 2018, but i don't think it was to too much fanfare.  It's kind of wild too, because 20 years ago, these guys were the hottest shit in town.  Anyway, here's a funky electro-pop track from 2006.  Listen to "Sad Sad City" below, our Daily Jam.

The Young Sinclairs

Put a little jangle and reverb into your step this morning with some new music from Virginia band The Young Sinclairs.  The group's new album "Cycles Turning" is out now.  Download it here from the band and listen to the psych pop-tinged title track below.

Daily Jam - You Better Stay Alive

Good morning.  Dig on some cold war vibes from '80s Slovenian band Demolition Group.  "You Better Stay Alive" is a minimal and lo-fi darkwave dream, icy synths from the other side of the Iron Curtain.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Calibre

After that K-pop, why not settle things down with some ambient electronica from Belfast artist Calibre.  New album "Tricklemore Sea" is out now.  Get it here from Signature Recordings and listen to the hushed and hypnotic title track below.

Daily Jam - Golden

The whole "KPop Demon Hunters" thing is not my bag.  Not even slightly.  It's not my boys' thing either.  My wife, on the other hand, absolutely loves it.  All that being said, if i happen to hear "Golden" from the movie's protagonist K-pop trio Huntr/x, it will be in my head for days and days and days.  And now it can be in yours too.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Tokyo Shoegazer

Here's a little mix of post rock, post punk, and shoegaze from Japanese band Tokyo Shoegazer.  The group's new album "Remains" is out now.  Get it here and listen to "Wisteria" below.
