Ariel Pink - Feels Like Heaven

Ariel Pink's new album "Dedicated to Bobby Jameson" is out next month on Mexican Summer, and the artist has released another new track from the record, this time with the dreamy, 80's pop-tinged "Feels Like Heaven."  It's an airy and floating little jam, a wistful post summer tune for sunsets.  Listen below.

Wolf Eyes - No Hate

Following the events that occurred in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend that resulted in the death of 32-year old Heather Heyer at the hands of a white supremacist, noisy Detroit band Wolf Eyes have released a free experimental album called "No Hate" to help bolster the fundraising effort for a Go Fund Me campaign to aid Ms. Heyer's family.  Listen to the whole thing below, download it here, and donate here.

Carmen Villain (featuring Jenny Hval)

Here's a song from Norwegian/Mexican artist Carmen Villain's upcoming "Infinite Avenue" LP featuring fellow Norwegian Jenny Hval laying down some vocals.  "Borders" is a hushed and haunting looped track, churning and bubbling before Hval's feverish, escalating choruses, telling an abstract tale of racism and fear.  It's pretty amazing.  Listen below and get the LP from Smalltown Supersound.

King Khan

October brings us some new garage shenanigans from King Khan...always a wonderful and good thing.  Listen to "It's a Lie" below and get the upcoming "Murderburgers" here.

Ovef Ow

My methods of discovering new music over the years have remained relatively intact since i was a teenager (buying dollar bin stuff i've never heard of, record store clerk recommendations, music magazines, blogs, etc.), but they sure are taking the backseat lately, a result of the scores of wonderful bands and artists i find on Bandcamp.  It's truly invaluable for someone like me.  Anyway, this morning i came across a wonderful hybrid of post punk and surf rock from Chicago four-piece Ovef Ow.  Listen to the chugging "Working Girl" below and get the "Working" EP here.

Dale Crover

Melvins drummer Dale Crover just released a solo record, something that kind of feels like it was 30 years in the making.  "The Fickle Finger of Fate" finds the artist swerving all over the place across 20 tracks and 30+ minutes, but feels the most at home on the grungier punk tracks.  Listen to "Big Uns" below and cop the record from Joyful Noise.

Alice Glass - Without Love

I've been anticipating new music from Alice Glass ever since the artist's unamicable split from Crystal Castles, and her first solo single "Stillbirth" back in 2015.  So, it's awesome that she's got a new single out, "Without Love."  I certainly wasn't expecting it to be as poppy as it is, but i'm into it.  Watch the video below.

King Dude - In The Eyes of The Lord (Country Version)

Gothic/rockabilly/dark folk artist King Dude loves to rework his old songs into something new every now and again, and most recently, he tackled older tunes "In The Eyes of The Lord" and "Why Must I Go On."  Originally from the 2011 album "Love," the single's A-side has been changed from an exotic, Gothic dirge into a dusty, dark country jam.  Listen below and get it from Not Just Religious Music.

Destroyer - Sky's Grey

I was unaware we had some new music from Destroyer in the pipeline, but lo and behold, we sure do.  New album "ken" is due in October on Merge.  Listen to the album's opening track and first single "Sky's Grey" below.

John Maus - COUNTER STRIKE!

Could it be?  New music from experimental synth pop musician John Maus on the horizon?  It's certainly been a while (2011).  Anyway, the artist just released a teaser video of sorts called "COUNTER STRIKE!" and a string of tour dates to boot, so maybe we have something to look forward to besides nuclear winter.  Watch the video below.
