Dééfait

I was hopping around Bandcamp last night sampling things and came across the new self-titled album from French band Dééfait, a moody and swirling mix of post punk and noise rock.  It's the kind of thing i could see myself becoming a complete and utter devotee of if i caught them at like SXSW or something.  Very cool shit.  Check out "Folâtre, Fissure, Crie!" below and get the LP here from lci d'ailleurs.

October Horror Trailer - Prime Evil

You'll have to login to YouTube to watch this one since there's boobs in it.  We live in a society of prudes.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Crucified Woman

One of my favorite things about Italian horror movies, cannibal flicks in particular, is how gorgeous the soundtracks are despite the repulsive or gruesome nature of the films they are scoring.  Composer Riz Ortolani's soundtrack to "Cannibal Holocaust" is probably the best example of this.  Blood and guts, cannibalism, rape, torture, racism, colonialism, animal cruelty...all set to the lush and beautiful sounds composed and conducted by Maestro Ortolani.  Listen to "Crucified Woman" below, our Daily Jam.

October Horror Trailer - A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child

October Horror Trailer - Snuff

Iconic Fugues

Parquet Courts member Andrew Savage has a brand new band called Iconic Fugues and just dropped new track "2025 Dream / 2025 Blues."  The tune has a kinda lo-fi Americana cowpunk thing going for it.  Check it out below and download it here from L'Alarme.

Daily Jam (October Edition) - Dream

I rewatched "Rosemary's Baby" the other night, and it's wild how gripping the movie is almost 60 years later.  A phenomenal film.  Anyway, part of the movie's enduring quality is often haunting and trippy score from Polish jazz pianist and composer Krzysztof (Christopher) Komeda.  Check out "Dream" below, our Daily Jam.

Here's a very cool new collaboration between Chicago based visual and performance artist and musician Damon Locks and the black chamber music collective D-Composed.  "Dawning" features the latter's unique string compositions paired with the former's beats and manipulated, improvisational spoken word pieces.  It's kind of a trip.  Check out "We Stay Beginning" below and pre-order the LP here from International Anthem.

Experimental artist Lustmord brings on the dark ambient end times with his 1990 album "Heresy," a cold and ominous opus that sounds like the bowels of the earth opening and swallowing everything to hell.  Perfect vibes for the season.  Check out "Heresy Part I" below, our Daily Jam.

Knifeplay

Philly indie rock band Knifeplay are gonna kick off 2027 with a new album in January.  Sprawling new track "Love Song" is a wonderful, dreamy, and melancholy mix of alt-country and shoegaze, the kind of song to end a long day to.  Check it out below and pre-order the forthcoming "What Is Truth?" LP here from Double Double Whammy.

October Horror Trailer - Motel Hell

Protomartyr

Detroit post punk band Protomartyr made their triumphant return last week with their new album "Hotel Usona," recorded with legendary producer Dave Fridmann.  Digging into the record, and you can totally hear the producer's influence all over it, and it pairs quite nicely with the band's gruff and noisy sound.  Grab the LP here from Domino and listen to "Sounds We Cannot Hear" below.

The Olivia Tremor Control

It's going to be bittersweet for sure, with the passing of Bill Doss in 2012 and Will Cullen Hart in 2024, but The Olivia Tremor Control's final album, "The Same Place," is heading our way at month's end.  The writing and recording began a long while back, and the remaining band members saw fit to complete the project.  I love them.  Anyway, listen to "Advice from the Oceans" below and pre-order the download here or the vinyl here from Elephant 6.
