Beachwood Sparks

LA indie psych rock act Beachwood Sparks are back with their first new album in over a decade, their first without founding member Josh Schwartz who passed away in 2017 from complications from ALS.  The new album finds the remaining members working with Chris Robinson from The Black Crowes behind the boards.  Check out the folky "Torn in Two" below and pre-order the "Across the River of Stars" LP here from Curation Records.

The Tyde featuring Bernard Butler

The Tyde is the long dormant project of Beachwood Sparks member Darren Rademaker.  The upcoming "Darren 4," the first album in a decade or so features former Suede lead guitarist Bernard Butler on guitar and backing vocals on the single, "The Curse in Reverse."  It all sounds like the lush and hazy psychedelic pop we would have heard from members of Elephant 6 back in the day, and that's just lovely.  Listen below and pre-order the record from Spiritual Pajamas.

The Skiffle Players

As it's unseasonably warm here in Austin these days, let's all lean back and listen to some breezy, folky Americana from The Skiffle Players, a supergroup of sorts featuring Cass McCombs and members of Beachwood Sparks.  Grab the debut album "Skifflin" from Spiritual Pajamas here and listen to "Til Stone Day Comes" below.
