Monde UFO

LA experimental band Monde UFO are in the midst of recording a new album for release in 2027.  To hold us over until then, they just dropped a couple of new tracks from those sessions.  "1159" is a psych-tinged, daydreamy, lo-fi synth pop hybrid that feels like it's being beamed in from some parallel dimension, a piece of pop rock from a soundtrack compilation that never existed.  Check it out below and download it along with "Rangini Drone" here from Fire Records.

Misha Panfilov

Here's some new music from prolific Estonian musician and composer Misha Panfilov.  New album "Where the Birds Fly" drops next month.  Pre-order the LP here from the artist and listen to the jazzy, lounge-tinged, exotica sounds of "When I See You (It Feels Wonderful)" below.

Daily Jam - 君の愛に背を向けて

I have been exploring a ton of Japanese music over the last couple of months: film scores, jazz, psych, city pop, and on and on.  And i've gotta say i'm loving it, kind of similar to when i discovered all those Italian film score composers and library session musicians a decade or so back.  Anyhoo, here's a jazzy piece of music from composer Yuji Ohno taken from the film "Proof of the Wild," or "Never Give Up" as it's known in other regions.  Listen to the smooth and sultry "君の愛に背を向けて," translated as "Turning My Back on Your Love," below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - 可知道什麼是悲傷

I'm back home from my work travels from last week, but i have another long one ahead of me full of 12-hour days.  Gonna enjoy the next 24 hours or so and relax.  Here's some chill, psych-tinged lounge music from Malaysia to get me there.  Listen to "可知道什麼是悲傷," or "Do You Know What Sorrow Is" below by 金谷電吉打大樂隊, AKA The Golden Valley Electric Guitar Big Band, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - さよなら砂山

Here's a beautiful and lounge-tinged exotica track from Japanese composer Takeo Yamashita.  Because we live in a society of prudes, you'll have to verify your age to listen to our Daily Jam, "さよなら砂山," or "Goodbye, Sand Mountain" below.  But you definitely should.

Maya Ongaku

Japanese psych band Maya Ongaku mix in a little jazz, a little lounge, and a little pop on "Astral Echoes," our first mellow taste of the group's upcoming new album, "Nothing Space Music."  Check the track out below and pre-order the LP here from Guruguru Brain.

Gigi Masin

Italian composer Gigi Masin crafts ambient works infused with elements of library grooves, jazz, lounge, techno, and more.  His latest release is "Movement," his debut for the great Sacred Bones Records.  Check out the sci-fi-noir vibes of "Lost" below and get the LP here.

The Saxophones

Oakland based husband and wife duo The Saxophones released their new album "No Time for Poetry" earlier this month, a mix of baroque pop, exotica, lounge, and noirish jazz.  The whole thing plays like some kind dark and strange film, black and white images in a smoky haze.  Check out the album opening "Too Big for California" below and get the LP here from Full Time Hobby.

Monde UFO

Earlier this year, LA artist Monde UFO released the weird and wonderful, and probable year-end-best, "Flamingo Tower" LP.  November brings us a "sequel" EP with the upcoming "Flamingo Tower, Nobody Cares."  Check out the also weird and wonderful album opener "Nobody Cares" below, a kind of dusty, cinematic mix of old pop sounds.  And pre-order the EP here from Fire Records.

Whatitdo Archive Group

I'm a little bummed i'm not going to get to take the boys to see fireworks tonight because of the rain, so for the time being i'm just going to mellow out to the exotic library sounds of Whatitdo Archive Group.  Listen to new tune "Exotique" below and get it here from Record Kicks.

Resavoir & Matt Gold

Chicago based artists Resavoir and Matt Gold provide the easy jazz sounds on "Canopy" from their upcoming new album "Horizon."  Pour yourself a drink, hang out in the shade, and watch the sun set behind the trees.  Dig on the track below and pre-order the LP here from International Anthem.

Maston

LA-based artist Maston is back with a couple of new tunes, including the jazzy, loungey library track "Foreign Affairs."  The song plays like a breeze.  Check it out below and download it, along with B-side "Liaison" here.

IE

In the need for something to just quietly groove on, Minneapolis band IE hits the internet airwaves with a dubby mix of psychedelia, lounge, and space age pop.  "Simplify" sounds like you're slowly floating through space, observing the expanding universe around you, or it feels like sinking into the floor, the world getting farther and farther away.  Check it out below and pre-order the upcoming "Reverse Earth" EP here from Quindi Records.

Ivan the Tolerable

Here's some strange and exotic new music from experimental artist Ivan the Tolerable.  New album "Nocturnes" finds the the artist dabbling in the sounds of jazz, lounge, exotica, psychedelia, and breakbeats to create a practically teaming aural collage.  Get the LP here from Echodelick Records and listen to the album opening "Confessionals" below.

Daily Jam - Twiggy Twiggy

When i was in high school, i don't think i was ready for the far out and retro pop sounds of Japanese band Pizzicato Five.  I'm ready now.  Here's the frenetic "Twiggy Twiggy," our Daily Jam.

The Saxophones

California husband and wife duo The Saxophones are back with new track "Burning with Desire," a retro and jazzy lounge number that sounds like old Hollywood, cinematic and romantic with a dash of noir.  Check it out below and download it here from Full Time Hobby.

Daily Jam - Vanity Fair

We all have our favorite albums, but then there are also those albums we can listen to whenever and wherever, circumstances or mood be damned.  Mr. Bungle's "California" is one of those albums for me.  Listen to the album's penultimate track "Vanity Fair" below, our Daily Jam.

Monde UFO

I've really been digging on the work of LA band Monde UFO the last couple of years, their mix of jazz, lounge, exotica, and psych-tinged alt-rock scratching a particular itch i wasn't even aware i had.  The band's new album "Flamingo Tower" is out in March.  Listen to the strange "Samba 9" below and pre-order the LP here from Fire Records.
