Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra and Amanda Werne

Jazz, psychedelia, and world music collide on the new collaborative self-titled EP from Stockholm's Goran Kajfeš Subtropic Arkestra and fellow Swede Amanda Werne.  Dig on the far out sounds of "Urhavet" below and pre-order the 10" here from We Jazz Records.

Polypores

Here's some new ambient music from UK artist Polypores.  "A Hole in the Air" is tranquil and a little trippy, and sounds like something it would be nice to gradually awake to.  Check it out below and get the "Wildlife" cassette here from Aural Canyon.

Daily Jam - Train of Consequences

I used to get the opening riff to Megadeth's "Train of Consequences" stuck in my head all the time.  And in my best Ralph Wiggum voice: "i like how it sounds like a train."  Anyhoo, check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Kraus

Not to be confused with the Dallas based alt-rock band of the same name, New Zealand artist Kraus makes experimental, psych-tinged electronica.  New album "Water Music" feels tailor made for some kind of educational film.  Check out "Princess from the Moon" below and pre-order the cassette here.

buttechno & Triš

I wasn't expecting to writing about an artist called buttechno today, but here we are.  The German electronic artist and producer makes a very chill mix of trip-hop, ethereal electronica, and dub that feels like the whole world is just fading away.  New album "The Spirit" is a collaboration with Ukrainian artist Triš, and plays like some surreal dream.  Listen to "20 Flutes" below and get the album here.

Setting

Here's a trippy, sprawling new track from North Carolina post rock band Setting.  "Your Destiny Distresses Me" is a mix of spacey drone, barely there electronic hum, and improvisational jazz vibes for watching the sun go out.  Check it out below and download it here from the band.

Daily Jam - Space Mantra

It's time to get transcendental with some rhythmic noise from post rock/space rock band F/i.  Dig on the sounds of "Space Mantra" below, our Daily Jam.

THROTH

Here's some noisy new music from noisy UK band THROTH.  Check out the sludgy "Woody" below and pay what you want for the new "Parading in the Wake of Sad Relations" EP download here from the band.

Friday Horror Trailer - The Wolf Man

Daily Jam - The Inferno

Here's some cool psychedelic garage rock for your Friday afternoon.  Listen to "The Inferno" by The Inferno below, our Daily Jam.

Feeling Small

I caught Austin indie artist Feeling Small a couple years ago at a small SXSW show, and he just dropped a melancholy new piano ballad for our listening pleasure.  "Bruise" is a soft lament, the kind of introspective piece to listen to at sunset.  Check it out below and download it here from the artist.

The Operator Sound INC.

Are you ready for some weird space-age lounge vibes from The Operator Sound INC.?  Of course you are.  Dig into the groovy, far out sound of "Space Age Switchboard (Please Hold)" below and pre-order the upcoming "Esoteric Audio for Spaceage Witchcraft" LP here from Library of the Occult.

Daily Jam - Tell Me You're Mine

Here's a little early '80s private press throwback choral jazz pop from a band called The Ghostriders.  Seriously, this song kind of sounds like it could have come out in the '40s.  Listen to "Tell Me You're Mine" below, our Daily Jam.

Art d'Ecco

Canadian troubadour Art d'Ecco has a new record heading our way in October.  Check out the crunchy, post-punk jam "The Death of Indie" below and pre-order the forthcoming "Scheele's Green" LP here from Paper Bag Records.

Daily Jam - Prigioniero

Here's some dramatic, psych-tinged pop rock from the early '70s from Italian artist Miro.  Dig on "Prigioniero" below, our Daily Jam.

DIIV

Here's a new one from indie darlings DIIV.  I remember seeing these guys way, way back in 2012 when they were just a bunch of kids.  Anyway, check out "The Fountain" below and pre-order the band's upcoming new album "ZIRP!" here from Fantasy Records.

zzzahara

LA band zzzahara's "Distant Lands" LP dropped a couple of months back, and listening to it now, it's a nice, hazy, and warbly bit of bedroom dreampop and alt-rock, perfect for summer afternoons.  Listen to "She Doesn't Want Me to Exist" below and grab the album here from Lex Records.

Daily Jam - All Over the World

I feel like most Pixies fans tend to gravitate towards either "Surfer Rosa" or "Doolittle."  And i get that.  They're two excellent albums.  But for me, it's all about "Bossanova," because it has songs like "All Over the World" on it.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

The Body & Cel Genesis

November brings us new chaos from heavy Portland duo The Body, this time around paired with Oakland experimental and industrial-tinged electronic act Cel Genesis.  Check out the sparse, ominous, and still noisy "Candy Crush" below and pre-order the "Whole Wide World" LP here from Thrill Jockey.

The Bug + Friday Night Plans

Last month, UK electronic musician and producer The Bug started the "Ladybug" series via his PRESSURE record label, an ongoing string of collaborations with different artists.  The second in the series features trippy beats and broken, dreamy grooves with Japanese artist Friday Night Plans.  Check out "Miss U" below and download it, along with a number of different mixes, here.
