Magic Circle

Magic Circle is the project of Arkansas artist Jeffery Scott Greer.  Recording at home on a Tascam 4-track cassette recorder (hey, i used to have one of those), Greer makes throwback psychedelic rock on new album "The Thinning Veil Between Worlds," with the lo-fi quality of the recording giving everything a vintage '60s feel, like the soundtrack from some Satan-worshipping biker movie.  Dig on the album opening "Hóstblot" below and pay what you want for the download here.

Belbury Poly

Belbury Poly (Jim Jupp) has a new album of electronic music heading our way with the forthcoming "Sorcery."  The artist adds elements of fantasy and dungeon synths to his usual mix library sounds, kosmische psych, UK folk, and old school analog synthesizers.  Good stuff as per usual.  Check out "Dreamthief" below and pre-order the LP here from Ghost Box.

Daily Jam - Night Life

Here's some nice, easy listening library music from Italian composer Fabio Fabor and Fabor's Orchestra, taken from the 1984 album split "Softly Softly" LP with fellow Italian artist Carlo Savina.  "Night Life" kind of sounds like the hold music in heaven.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Kraus

Not to be confused with the Dallas based alt-rock band of the same name, New Zealand artist Kraus makes experimental, psych-tinged electronica.  New album "Water Music" feels tailor made for some kind of educational film.  Check out "Princess from the Moon" below and pre-order the cassette here.

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.

I just spent the last 30 minutes battling a web app with a very unfriendly user interface.  Serenity now.  Here's a mix of dungeon synth and library new age music to soothe my nerves.  Check out "Dark Beneath the Clouds" from electronic artist Mistaedre's new album "Wanderer in Exile" below and get the cassette here from Per Musica Ad Astra.

Dream Division Reimagined

Last year, psychedelic artist Dream Division released the Giallo-inspired album "A Rose in the Garden of Winter," a funky and acid drenched faux soundtrack to an '70s Italian thriller that never existed.  This year, that album gets a reimagining from a slew of artists and The Library of the Occult Electronic Orchestra.  Contributors include artists like Ivan The Terrible, The Hologram People, Antoni Maiovvi, and more.  Check out the funky psych version of "Thorns" from Project Gemini below and pre-order the "Una Rosa nel Giardino d'Inverno: Il Ritorno" LP here from Library of The Occult.
