HENGE

Here's some wild new music from Manchester artist HENGE.  "Brains" is a frenetic mix of prog, funk, psychedelia, krautrock, synth pop, and all around hyperactive weirdness.  Fry your brain to it below and pre-order the upcoming "Humans" LP here from Cosmic Dross Records.

Mozaik Ses

Here's some very cool new music from the studio assembled group Mozaik Ses.  Both tracks on "The Last Shootout / Wormhole" 7" feel like they were pulled from old '70s Euro-crime flicks, mixes of cinematic funk, psych, and krautrock.  Dig on the B-side "Wormhole" below and get the record here from Delights.

Daily Jam - Take the Time Train

My favorite time of year has drawn to a close, so things will be a little less spooky around here.  But we must carry on.  And today, we're doing so with some jazz fusion from Japanese artist Yasunori Tsuchida.  "Take the Time Train" plays with a soothing and groovy mix of jazz and funk.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.

Sean Wolcott

Last month, Seattle artist Sean Wolcott dropped his new album "Lady Swordfighter: Disciple of Dishonor," a very fucking cool faux soundtrack meant to evoke the music of Japanese films from the '60s and '70s.  Elements of psych, jazz, funk, soul, and more abound.  Listen to "Heaven Has No Swords" below and pre-order the forthcoming vinyl here from Library of the Occult.  You can also download the whole thing here from the artist.

I think i'm gonna go eat a salad and then veg out on the couch for a little while with a Mango IPA.  I leave you with some odd and funky psych-jazz sounds from Giraffe.  Listen to "Catastrophe Music" below and pre-order the band's upcoming "The Towering Inferno with Bongo Drums" LP here from Org Music.

Scouring through YouTube rabbit holes become a crate digging type activity for me over the last few years.  There's gold to be found in the internet.  Like this lush and wonderful soul track from jazz drummer Grady Tate's 1977 solo album "Master Grady Tate."  Dig on "Dream Love" below, our Daily Jam.

Here's a little underground groove and soul from Phoenix band Flashbakk.  "Being Number One" comes from one of the three singles the band released in 1983 before fading into obscurity.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

The Empress

The Empress is the groove laden, library sounds homage project of Paul Elliot (Pleasurewood) and Paul Osborne (Project Gemini).  The duo's upcoming new album "Fortune Teller" feels like a fuzzy, mystical soundtrack to an Italian crime drama or giallo.  Check out "Switch Blade" below and pre-order the LP here from Library of the Occult.

Lalalar

Get ready to groove with some new music from Istanbul's Lalalar.  The band's blend of Turkish psychedelia, Anatolian rock, disco, funk, and pop are all there on "Bi Bok Anlamadim," and we're all the better for it.  Check it out below and pre-order the forthcoming 7" here from Les Disques Bongo Joe.

Daily Jam - I Celebrate Myself

I love how so many notorious Italian movies are accompanied by the lush and gorgeous film scores.  Joe D'Amato's eroti-gore entry "Emanuelle in America" fits that bill perfectly with a wonderful soundtrack from composer Nico Fidenco.  Check out the lyrical version of the film's theme song, also called "I Celebrate Myself," as performed by Italian prog band Harmonium.  Listen below, our Daily Jam.
