Iceage

Denmark punks Iceage dropped a new track today with the kinda polished and poppy indie rock gem "Star."  Gotta assume a new album is in the works?  Anyway, check it out below and download it here from Mexican Summer.

Drugdealer & Weyes Blood

Throwback pop artist Drugdealer is back with a couple of new tunes this month, featuring his usual blend of AM soft rock and indie pop.  On "Real Thing," he reunites with former collaborator Weyes Blood for some soul-infused vibes.  Check it out below and download it, along with "The News," here from Mexican Summer.

Jefre Cantu-Ledesma

A platoon of 8 and 9 year olds are about to descend on my house in about 25 minutes for my youngest son's sleepover birthday party.  It's gonna get loud.  But it looks like i have just enough time to listen to and possibly meditate to the latest 20-minute opus from Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.  "The Milky Sea" is the opening track to the upcoming "Gift Songs" LP due next month.  Here's hoping it calms my already frayed nerves.  Check it out below and pre-order the record here from Mexican Summer.

Jessica Pratt

It looks like we're getting new music from LA folk artist Jessica Pratt in May, her first new album since 2019's "Quiet Signs."  Dig on the spectral, night-time, psych-tinged sounds of "Life Is" below and pre-order the upcoming "Here in the Pitch" LP here from Mexican Summer.

L'Rain

Brooklyn artist L'Rain just released her third album "I Killed Your Dog" on Mexican Summer, and i'm really digging on the dreamy vibes of "5 to 8 Hours a Day (WWwaG)."  Check that track out below and get the LP here.

Iceage - All the Junk on the Outskirts

Here's a formerly unreleased track from Danish punks Iceage that was recorded during the sessions for the band's 2018 album "Beyondless."  That record is a favorite around these parts, so some unearthed tunes from the era are most welcome.  Check out "All the Junk on the Outskirts" below and download the track here from Mexican Summer.

Iceage

Hey, Iceage released a new track yesterday, a cover of ABRA's 2016 track "Pull Up."  As per every other Iceage release, it's cool, if not a kind of odd choice for the band to cover.  It works though.  Check it out below and get it here from Mexican Summer.

Tonstartssbandht

Florida weirdos Tonstartssbandht are releasing their new album of weirdness next month with "Petunia" on Mexican Summer.  The band floats somewhere in the ether between psych and prog and dub and a hundred other things, impossible to peg down.  Check out new tune "What Has Happened," meander around a little bit, and order the record here.

Iceage - Vendetta

Over the last decade, Danish punk band Iceage have cemented themselves as one of the artists that i'll pretty much buy anything from songs unheard.  They just keep knocking it out of the park with each subsequent release while constantly expanding their sound.  And this May's upcoming "Seek Shelter" LP seems to be no different.  Check out the video for the scorching "Vendetta" below and pre-order the new album here from Mexican Summer.

Iceage

The ever evolving Danish punk rock band Iceage, a favorite around these parts, has signed to Mexican Summer and is prepping a new album for release some time in the near future.  Yesterday, the band dropped the first taste of the upcoming album with new single "The Holding Hand," a song that crawls and builds to cacophony.  True to form, it's pretty damn good.  Check it out below and download it here.

Geneva Jacuzzi

Have you ever found yourself wanting to be transported to some kind of hazy '80s nightclub, the kind that only exists in movies or VHS daydream memories?  Yes?  No?  Either way, LA artist Geneva Jacuzzi has got you covered for the soundtrack therein.  New tune "Love Caboose" is a straight injection of vapor wave and synthy R&B that will have you seeing neon.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming "Lamaze" LP here from Mexican Summer.

Jack Name

Here's a little psych-tinged Americana from LA artist Jack Name to hopefully move us into a relaxing weekend.  Check out "I Came to Tell You in Plain English" below and order the "Magic Touch" LP here from Mexican Summer.  I can already tell that guitar melody is going to be in my head the rest of the day.

Paint

Allah-Las' member Pedrum Siadatian is back this July with a new album as Paint.  Check out the groovy, worldly rhythms of "Ta Fardah" below, and pre-order the upcoming sophomore album "Spiritual Vegas" here from Mexican Summer.

Jess Williamson

LA by way of Austin artist Jess Williamson combines elements of dreampop, country, and folk to craft dusty, floaty pieces of Americana.  New album "Sorceress" is out in May.  Watch the video for first single "Wind on Tin" below and order the record here from Mexican Summer.

Allah-Las

I totally spaced on the latest from LA band Allah-Las last month.  New album "LAHS" is a warm and dreamy balm that sounds like the last strands of summer fading into autumn.  It's music for those late afternoons with your eyes closed, the sun on your face.  Check out the instrumental "Roco Ono" below and get the record here from Mexican Summer.

Cate Le Bon & Bradford Cox

The annual Marfa Myths music and art festival in Marfa, Texas is something i have not had the benefit of attending yet (much to my dismay), but at least i get to hear some of the fruits of labor every year when Mexican Summer releases the previous fest's collaborative residency.  These are generally pretty awesome, and last year's featured Cate Le Bon and Deerhunter front man Bradford Cox.  Check out "Secretary" from the duo below and get the "Myths 004" record in November.
