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

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.

Daily Jam - Untitled

Doing a precursory search for Areknuteknyterne, and i can't find much information on the band.  It appears they were a duo from Norway in the mid '80s, releasing a couple of cassettes of lo-fi death rock and post punk.  "Untitled" comes from a compilation cassette from 1986.  It kicks ass.  I could listen to this guitar riff all day long.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Sulk Rooms

Listening to BOC has sent me searching for more electronic music to work to this afternoon, and so we have the chilled out, ambient electronica sounds of Sulk Rooms.  Get the new "Songs of Soil" album here from Quiet Details and listen to the album opening pulse of "The Losing Grip" below.

Boards of Canada

It's official.  We are getting a new Boards of Canada album at the end of the month, the first new record since 2013.  Check out the very cool new track "Prophecy at 1420 MHz" below and pre-order the "Inferno" LP here from Warp.

NNHMN

Berlin's NNHMN make moody darkwave synth pop for gothy nightclubs and the black nails and lipstick set.  The band's upcoming "Opera of Lust & The Art of Sorrow II" LP is out in July (though it really feels more like an autumn kind of release).  Pre-order it here and listen to "Cold Like Steel" below.

Miracle

Zombi's Steve Moore and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan have teamed together again to bring us another round of synth pop as Miracle.  The duo's new "The Living Likeness of My Electric Daemon" LP is out in June from Relapse.  Pre-order it here and listen to the industrial-tinged "PVC Vest" below.

Lai/Lencastre/Reviriego

Here is some absolutely haunting, and kind of terrifying, new avant garde and improvisational jazz from the trio of Spanish artists Clara Lai (piano) and Alex Reviriego (electronics), and Portuguese artist Jose Lencastre (alto and tenor sax).  The album is "Instante," and it's a stark collection of visceral soundscapes.  Check out the album closing "Esencia," a creeping eulogy for the end of all things.  Listen below and pre-order the album here from Phonogram Unit.

The Empress

The Empress is the groove laden, library sounds homage project of Paul Elliot (Pleasurewood) and Paul Osborne (Project Gemini).  The duo's upcoming new album "Fortune Teller" feels like a fuzzy, mystical soundtrack to an Italian crime drama or giallo.  Check out "Switch Blade" below and pre-order the LP here from Library of the Occult.

Daily Jam - Hypnotisé

Working from home alone this morning.  Just me and the dog.  It's quiet and gray, the perfect time for some spacey, easy listening prog pop from French Canadian musician Gilles Valiquette.  I came across "Hypnotisé" the other night during a YouTube deep dive and really dug the sparse dreaminess of it all.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Vorhex Angel

Here's some new melancholy music from Massachusetts artist Vorhex Angel.  "Okie's Song I" is a mix of alt-country, Americana, and indie rock just begging to be played from the stereo of a pickup truck driving down a dusty highway into the ever expanding landscape.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming "Drain" LP here from Soul Selects.

Chanel Beads

Back in 2024, New York avant garde indie pop artist Chanel Beads released an album called "Your Day Will Come."  It is now 2026, and the Chanel Beads are set to release their new album also called "Your Day Will Come."  Check out the excellently titled "The Coward Forgets His Nightmare" below and pre-order the LP here from Jagjaguwar.

Brooklyn electro-pop artist Miss Grit dropped her new "Under My Umbrella" album a couple weeks ago, and it plays like an airy, synthy dream.  Check out the gorgeous album opening "Tourist Mind" below and get the LP here from Mute.

Lalalar

Get ready to groove with some new music from Istanbul's Lalalar.  The band's blend of Turkish psychedelia, Anatolian rock, disco, funk, and pop are all there on "Bi Bok Anlamadim," and we're all the better for it.  Check it out below and pre-order the forthcoming 7" here from Les Disques Bongo Joe.

Jumprope

I got to got see Tripping Daisy last night, scratching off a major miss from my high school / college days.  They were great.  Opening for them was the lovely Houston garage pop band Jumprope.  Here they are covering Enya.  Listen to "Only Time" below and download it here.

Posting about Canadian band Eric's Trip yesterday led me straight to Sloan.  Here's a track from their 1996 album "One Chord to Another."  Listen to "Junior Panthers" below, our Daily Jam.

White Fence

LA artist Tim Presley goes solo again with his White Fence project and new album "Orange."  Usual collaborator Ty Segall comes along for the ride behind the drumkit and the mixing board.  Check out the mellow and melancholy, garage psych-tinged, singer/songwriter vibe of "Unread Books" below and grab a copy of the LP here from Drag City.
