The Thorn

Here's a haunting new psych folk track from UK band The Thorn (FKA Large Plants), a rework of traditional French ballad "La Pernette."  Listen below and download it here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Manjushage

Happy Labor Day.  Here's some excellent Japanese folk rock from the late '70s from Noriko Tsuwa.  "Manjushage" evokes a dark and anguished atmosphere, smoke-filled rooms and dim lights, questions with answers found at the bottom of a bottle.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Fine

Danish artist and singer/songwriter Fine returns in October with the follow up to her excellent 2024 debut "Rocky Top Ballads."  Sophomore effort "Jazz Dreams" has a timeless, classic pop feel to it, elements of rock, soul, R&B, folk, and more coming together just right.  Listen to "Everything in the Shade" below and pre-order the LP here from Escho.

Daily Jam - Holland, 1945

Here's a classic from Neutral Milk Hotel.  Elephant 6 forever!  Listen to "Holland, 1945" below, our Daily Jam.

Midweek Circle

Stumbled upon some great new music from Edinburgh band Midweek Circle while bumming around on Bandcamp the other night.  The group makes throwback pop with elements of folk, kosmische psychedelia, and plenty of analog synthesizers that feels like it's being broadcast from some mysterious valley in Great Britain.  Check out "In the Wind" below and grab the "Macramé For Beginners" cassette here from the band.

King Dude

Seattle based goth folk artist King Dude dropped a new track yesterday, the part ominous, part anguished "Sunset Skies."  It's a dark little number, and hopefully a harbinger for the coming autumn.  Check it out below and download it here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Golden Hair

Here's some calming music for us (but especially me because i'm very, very tired) on this Sunday evening.  Listen to Syd Barrett and "Golden Hair" 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.

Daily Jam - I've Been Waiting for You

Good afternoon everyone.  Here's some Neil Young.  Listen to "I've Been Waiting for You," our Daily Jam.

Marissa Nadler and Milky Burgess

Here's a new track from Marissa Nadler, a collaboration with Milky Burgess, of an old time pop song by The Little Dippers and Billy Walker, later popularized by Pete Drake.  Listen to "Forever" below and download it here.

Bill Baird

Outside of his recent work with Austin indie rock band Heavy Meddo, Bill Baird also releases solo music on the regular.  His new solo effort "Life Creates Itself" is due in September.  Pre-order the LP here from Royal Oakie Records LLC and listen to mellow, sunshiny "Yanaguana" below.

Chelsea Wolfe

Turns out that those new tracks from Chelsea Wolfe released a couple weeks back were indeed a harbinger of things to come, as the artist has announced new album "The Dark" for next month.  Listen to the Americana-tinged folk track "Cold" below and pre-order the LP here from Loma Vista Recordings.

Daily Jam - 星のふる郷

Here's a little baroque pop folk from Japanese artist Morio Agata that i picked up at the Austin Record Convention back in May.  Listen to "星のふる郷," which translates to "Hometown of the Stars," below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Mussolini's Exit

I'm lounging at a hill country resort with my family for the next couple of days before my work schedule gets crazy.  Sip a cocktail with me and toast to the death of a fascist with Alvarius B's cover of Ennio Morricone's "Mussolini's Exit."  Check it out 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.

Tele Novella

While i was at the beach last week, Austin's Tele Novella dropped new tune "Ring of Stones."  And it's lovely, a mix of psych folk, spaghetti western vibes, and indie pop.  Check it out below and download it here from Kill Rock Stars.

Chelsea Wolfe

As is usually the case, i take off for a week and a whole bunch of cool music drops.  Like these two new tracks from Chelsea Wolfe.  Listen to both "The Dark" and "Death Is Not the End" below and download them here from Loma Vista Recordings.

Emma Ruth Rundle

Here's some new music from Portland based artist Emma Ruth Rundle.  New album "These Killing Times" is out later this summer.  Pre-order the download here and listen to the album opening "Powerless" below.

Daily Jam - I Feel It Starts Again

Here's some self-released dance and folk music from Danish artist Suzanne Menzel's sole 1981 release, "Goodbyes and Beginnings."  Listen to "I Feel It Starts Again" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Hablanos del Matrimonio / Hablanos del Dar

Uruguayan keyboardist Armando Tirelli released one solo album, 1978's proggy symphonic rock opus "El Profeta."  It's weird and wonderful in all the right ways.  Listen to a couple of tracks below that just roll right into each other, "Hablanos del Matrimonio" and "Hablanos del Dar," our Daily Jam.
