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.

Peel Dream Magazine

LA's Peel Dream Magazine have been kicking around for a few years now and are ready to drop their fourth full-length album "Rose Main Reading Room" next month.  It seems like the band manages to throw some new sounds into the mix on each subsequent record, and the new one is no different, featuring bits and pieces of psychedelia, shoegaze, kosmische pop, krautrock, space age pop, and so much more.  Check out new tune "Lie in the Gutter" below and pre-order the LP here from Topshelf Records.

The Rentals

The Rentals have been releasing a new track every couple of weeks pretty much since the year began, and last Friday finally released their new and epic album "Q36."  Stuffed to the brim with ideas, the space pop album is an infectious toe tapper.  Check out the album close "Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad" below and download the album here.
