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.

Here's a haunting folk track from Buffy Sainte-Marie for your October afternoon.  Listen to "The Vampire" below, our Daily Jam.

Wayfarer

Denver band Wayfarer make a kind of western-tinged hard rock music, like the heavy soundtrack to some bleak Spaghetti Western, but with occasional bursts of doom and black metal interspersed among the psychedelic Americana.  Definitely its own vibe, and it transports right into the thick of it.  Check out "Hollow Hearts on the Trail to Eden" below and pre-order the band's forthcoming "Riders of the Setting Sun" LP here from Vesperian.

Chrome Chasm

Houston, Texas trio Chrome Chasm make beautiful sonic vistas invoking windy Texas plains, painted sunsets, and skies that go on forever.  The band's upcoming "Interpreter" LP is a gorgeous mix of ambient, Americana, psych, and folk, cinematic scores for Sunday daydreams.  Check out the single edit for "The Star" below and pre-order the LP here from Silver Current Records.

I wasn't originally going to post a track from Dolly today, but the circumstances being what they are, here we go.  Listen to "The Bargain Store" below, our Daily Jam.

Daughter of the Vine

Cambridge, Massachusetts band Daughter of the Vine make a dusty kind of psychedelic rock, with elements of folk, Americana, shoegaze, and staring westward into pink and orange skies of the setting sun.  Coincidentally, their new album is called "Holy Is the Sun."  Check out the alt-country psych vibes of the title track below and get the LP here from the band.

Black Duck with Elena Setien

Chicago trio Black Duck have a kind of jazz infused post-rock thing going on for them.  On their new album they pair with Spanish singer/songwriter Elena Setien, adding an element of Americana and almost loungey groove to the sound.  Check out "Land of the Many Eyes" below and grab the appropriately titled "Black Duck with Elena Setien" LP here from Thrill Jockey.

Fuses

Swedish duo Fuses have that dusty, country and psych pop-tinged folk sound down pat.  The group's upcoming new album "Sawdust in the Transmission" is out later this month, and you can pre-order it here from Having Fun Records.  In the meantime, listen to the excellent "Aniline" below.

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.

Holy Motors

Estonian alt-rock group Holy Motors dropped a twangy and reverby new track earlier this week with "Heaven's Night."  It sounds like watching a sunset in the desert.  Check it out below and download it here from Wharf Cat Records.

BCMC

June brings us new ambient folk music from Chicago duo BCMC.  "Kaleidosmoke" kind of sounds like looking out your window on a rainy day, gray skies and droplets against the glass.  Dig on the soundscape below and pre-order the forthcoming "Stash" LP here from Drag City.

The Fruit Bats have been making lovely, pastoral indie folk rock for the last couple of decades now, and every new release is always a treat.  June brings us new album "The Landfill" featuring the Americana, alt-country-tinged title track.  Check it out below and pre-order the LP here from Merge.

Bovine

I'll leave you today with the old school country sounds of Austin's Bovine.  The band's brand of "y'allternative" folk is perfect for honkytonks and community barn dances, Americana for the masses.  Check out their latest single, "How Many Ways Can I Love You" below and download it here.

Tacoma Park

Here's a new track from North Carolina based experimental duo Tacoma Park.  I hear a lot of different things on "Untied," a mix of ambient country music, Americana, new age, krautrock, and a little bit of kosmische psychedelia.  It's cool and floaty.  Check it out below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Baltimore" LP here from Centripetal Force.

Matthew Geary

And now it's time for some droney folk and Americana from Philadelphia based guitarist Matthew Geary.  Dig on the old world, hypnotic sounds of "Relentless Intrusion" below and get the new "Owl's Lament" cassette here from Scissor Tail Records.
