Jonathan Bree

Here's a new throwback, psych-tinged pop song from New Zealand artist Jonathan Bree.  "Kiss My Lips" features a lead vocal assist from fellow Kiwi Princess Chelsea and feels like the best groove from the '60s you've never heard before.  Listen below and get the song here from Lil' Chief Records.


Desire - Bizarre Love Triangle

Last May i got to see Chromatics when their tour swung through Austin, and opening act and fellow Italians Do It Better member Desire performed a wonderful cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle."  It's one of my all time favorite songs, so i was pretty stoked yesterday to see that the cover was released for download.  Listen below and get it here.


Daily Jam - Cancer

Britpop band Mansun never really crossed over in the US, and that's too bad because they were great.  On their sophomore album "Six," they brought in some proggy sounds to create something that didn't really sound like anyone else out there.  Dig on the US version of the album cover above and listen to the weird and sprawling "Cancer" above, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Past the Mission

Whenever i hear the name Tori, two things come to mind. The first is the character that was brought in on "Saved by the Bell" to replace a suddenly nonexistent Kelly and Jessie.  The second, and notably better, is Tori Amos.  Here's Tori's "Past the Mission," featuring a backing vocal assist from Trent Reznor, our Daily Jam.

Bill Baird

Here's some quirky, psych pop-tinged alt-rock from San Antonio's Bill Baird.  New album "Flower Children's Children's Children" is out in April.  Listen to album opener "Eat the Lawn for Free" below and pre-order the record here from the artist.


Daily Jam - Kites Are Slow Downers

Austin band Halley released their sole album, "Forget the Leaves, Autumn Will Change Us," way back in 2002.  I always hoped it would be the beginning of some big shoegaze-inspired scene for the city, but it was not to be.  The album's still fantastic though.  Here's album closer "Kites Are Slow Downers," our Daily Jam.

The Kundalini Genie

Glasgow band The Kundalini Genie are back this April with a new album of Eastern psychedelic tinged rock.  There's a real Britpop/shogaze vibe going on with first single "You Had It All."  Listen to the track below and preorder the the upcoming "11:11" LP here.


Daily Jam - Mungo City

In the late '90s we were so, so close to a '70s glam rock revival that never really took off.  And that's too bad.  It would have been interesting to see where things progressed.  Spacehog was one of those bands that dabbled in the sound, so here's "Mungo City," our Daily Jam.

Fera

Equal parts mesmerizing and discomforting, the electronic tones of Italian experimental artist Fera sound like they're being beamed in from some other plain of existence, haunting yet captivating like losing yourself in the deadlights.  Listen to "Stupida" below and pre-order the upcoming "Stupidamutaforma" cassette here from the always dependable Maple Death Records.
