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.

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.

Actors

Here's some great new, goth-infused darkwave and post punk from Vancouver band Actors.  The vibes on "Our Love Will Live Forever" should carry us through the fall, autumnal tones and longer nights.  Dig on the album opening "CTRL" below and get the LP here from Artoffact Records.

GLOK

GLOK is the electronic alter-ego of Ride's Andy Bell.  And the recently released "GLOK X BYTES: The Remixes" collects a handful of mixes the artist has done onto one 12" record.  Check out the mix of krautrock, ambient, and chilled electronic of his remix of Hermann Kristoffersen's "Gone Gold" below and grab the record here quick from Bytes (no repress).

Daily Jam - The Heavenly Music Corporation (excerpt)

Taking a little bit of a mental health day today.  Also, Ash brought home some sort of middle school plague last week that's been working its way through the household.  So, i'm going to try and get some writing done today, and some reading, and maybe watch a movie too.  But first, here's an excerpt from Fripp & Eno's "The Heavenly Music Corporation."  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Planning for Burial

Halloween will see the release of a new split 7" between Pennsylvania's metal-tinged shoegaze artist Planning for Burial and Brooklyn sludge metal band Psalm, released by Austin experimental black metal outfit Portrayal of Guilt.  That's a lot of great minds coming together.  Listen to the droney "R.W.H." below and pre-order the record here.

Daily Jam - Layla

Eric Clapton is a putz.  He's technically a great guitarist, but i feel like there's no soul in anything he does...except "Layla."  Goddamn, "Layla" is good.  The Derek & The Dominos track is an all-timer, especially that last instrumental half.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

It's about time for me to go get some lunch, but first, why don't we all trip along for few minutes with some cosmic psychedelia and drone rock from New York band White Hills.  New album "Collect Consciousness" is out next month.  Grab it here and listen to the sprawling, oozing "Phase Two" below.

New Zealand duo Purple Pilgrims have a new record of dreamy, pscyh and folk-tinged indie pop heading our way in November.  Dig on the mellow "Innocence Lost" below and pre-order the "Given to the Night" LP here from AD 93.

Ivan The Tolerable

UK artist Ivan The Tolerable makes experimental music and soundscapes, sometimes pulling from jazz, or ambient, or no wave, or world, or a thousand other things.  "Browning Out with Ivan The Tolerable" finds the artist in a whole lot of those moods, but particularly a droney and exotic one on "Milky Sky."  Check the track out below and get the LP here from Ack! Ack! Ack! Records.

Daily Jam - Apollo 13

In 2005, Suede front man Brett Anderson reunited with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler for a new project called The Tears.  For fans of Suede and Britpop in general, like me, it was a marvelous one-off.  Check out the spacey, yearning "Apollo 13" from the project's sole album below, our Daily Jam.

American Motors

Here's some moody and noisy new music from Pennsylvania band American Motors.  "No Horses" is a mix of grungey alt-rock, post punk, noise rock, along with some hints of post hardcore.  It's nice.  Check the track out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Functional Music" LP here from Expert Work Records.

Infinity Knives x Brian Ennals

Baltimore hip-hop duo Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals dropped their new "AMDIA" EP this morning, and it's got all the unique, underground production, stylistic left turns, and pissed off, left wing lyrical content we've come to expect.  Listen to the scathing title track below ("If you're an ICE agent, kill yourself...your kids are better off without you") and download everything here from Phantom Limb.

Liars

This morning, Liars announced their 11th(!) album, "A Ban on Plastic Bag Bans," out next year on Mute.  It's absolutely wild to think the band (albeit with a revolving lineup) has been making weird music for us for almost 25 years.  Check out new tune "Ice Pick, Kalamazoo" below and pre-order the LP here.

Daily Jam - Trees

Digging around on YouTube the other night, and i came across this killer instrumental track from Belgian band Demon.  "Trees" is a little jazzy, a little proggy, a little easy listening, and chill as all fuck.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.
