Hawksmoor

Having already released one of my favorite albums of the year with March's analog synth opus "Am I Conscious Now?," Bristol artist Hawksmoor is back again with new album "Yclept Thorn."  The new record has a more ritualistic dungeon synth vibe going for it, as evidenced by the slow and crawling dirge of the title track.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from Library of the Occult.

Daily Jam - Bingung

Here's an excellent mix of psych and soul from Indonesian band Shark Move's 1973 opus "Ghede Chokra's."  "Bingung" has a particularly yearnful tone that just gets to me.  My first time listening to the song, at the 2:37 moment, i think i actually said, "oh shit," out loud.  Anyhoo, check the tune out and see if your reaction is the same.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Friday Horror Trailer - Dead Alive

AKA "Braindead"

Daily Jam - Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime

You may know this song from Beck's version recorded for the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" soundtrack.  Honestly, i heard that version first.  But it led me to the original 1980 track by UK band The Korgis.  And i think i might like it better.  Check out "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Hurt So Bad

Dig on some groovy, jazzy pop from American ex-pat Nancy Holloway and her 1970 track "Hurt So Bad."  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Papaya Clearance Sale

Perennial

I've been fortunate enough to catch New England garage rock band Perennial a few times over the years at SXSW.  They're one of those bands that ends up playing 20 shows over a 5-day period while they're in town.  I can't even imagine.  Anyway, they've got a new album heading our way in September with "Modernism," and judging by lead-off single "What's New on the Beat Scene," it's gonna be a rocker.  Check the track out below and pre-order the LP here from Ernest Jenning Record Co.

Formal Sppeedwear

Here's some off-kilter, angular, new-wavey post-punk from UK band Formal Sppeedwear.  The group's new album "Punch Card" is out in August.  Pre-order it here from Melodic Records and listen to "Who Needs Spain Ball" below.

Friday Horror Trailer - [REC]

Daily Jam - Nothing Came Out

I don't know what, but something made me think of The Moldy Peaches the other day, the early '00s lo-fi indie duo of Adam Green and Kimya Dawson.  Talk about a sonic snapshot of a particular moment in time.  Anyhoo, thinking of them made me listen to them.  Listen to the unrequited love song "Nothing Came Out" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Third Ring's Watery Flow

Here's some mellow music from British artist, and former Deep Purple member, Roger Glover.  "The Third Ring's Watery Flow" sounds like something from a nature documentary or a planetarium show, a mix of new age, jazz, prog, and symphonic rock.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Casket Cassette

I've been digging on the mix of darkwave and dreampop from LA artist Casket Cassette since first hearing him back in March (when i missed his performance during SXSW).  Every single has been a total synth pop banger, and now he's dropped a new full-length album with "REDUCER."  Check out the haunted and dreamy "Apathy" below and pay what you want for the download here from the artist.

Secret Attraction

Phoenix duo Secret Attraction make that dreamy kind of new wave/post-punk/synth pop you'd expect to hear from clubs and car stereos in some Hollywood version of the '80s, goth-tinged vibes and airy, melancholic melodies.  It's all quite lovely.  Snag the band's new "Oceans" EP here and listen to the hazy title track below.

Olympia, Washington band Waves Crashing have an old school '90s alt-rock and grunge thing going for them, the kind of sound i would have been dubbing onto mixtapes in 10th grade.  New album "In the Blur" is out now.  Get it here from the band and listen to "Feel the Glow" below.
