Zeal & Ardor

I somehow failed to post about Zeal & Ardor's new album "GREIF" when it dropped at the end of the summer.  I caught them on stage last week and everything, and still managed to drop the ball.  Well, i'm remedying that now.  "GREIF" is the first release as a full band and continues to push the sound into new and interesting directions.  It rules.  Check out "Are You the Only One Now?" below and get the LP here.

Daily Jam - Everyone's a V.I.P. to Someone

There are a couple of different versions of UK band The Go! Team's "Everyone's a V.I.P. to Someone."  I think it had to do with clearing samples for release in the US.  I'm partial to the original UK mix, probably because it's the one i heard first.  Dig on the wistful instrumental below, our Daily Jam.

Whirr

Hey, it looks like for Christmas we got some brand new music from Modesto, California shoegaze band Whirr.  It's been a while.  You can get the download of the new "Raw Blue" album here from the band or pre-order the LP here from Funeral Party.  In the meantime, listen to the title track below.

Daily Jam - Tomorrow Tomorrow

It's Thursday afternoon, the day after Christmas.  Thinking about what to do with the rest of the day and listening to Elliott Smith.  Here's "Tomorrow Tomorrow," our Daily Jam.

Sault

Just in time to spend that Christmas money on, wonderful UK act Sault just dropped new album "Acts of Faith."  Dig on the soulful "Pray for Me" below and order the LP here from Forever Living Originals.

Daily Jam - Little Drummer Boy

While Darlene Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is my favorite Christmas song, Low's take on "Little Drummer Boy" has got to be my second favorite.  Let's listen.  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.  Merry Christmas.

Death Parade

I feel like it's been a while since we last heard from gloomy Oregon band Death Parade, formerly known as Laura Palmer's Death Parade.  Well, they're back with a new song with an assist from Tasy Hudson and Mitch Wells.  Listen to "Coming to the City" below and download it here.

Daily Jam - Heavenly

Happy Christmas Eve everyone.  Here's a track from The Dandy Warhols that i'm having a hard time believing is 21 years old.  Listen to "Heavenly" below, our Daily Jam.

Bananagun

About to spend the next couple of hours wrapping Christmas presents.  Let's do it with a little psych pop from Australian outfit Bananagun.  The band's new album "Why Is the Colour of the Sky?" dropped last month.  Get it here from Full Time Hobby and listen to "Feeding the Moon" below.

Daily Jam - Cheree

I don't know why, but for some reason "Cheree" by Suicide has Christmastime vibes to me.  It's got to be those chimes or little bells in the background.  Whatever it is, we're jamming it today.  Give it a listen below, our Daily Jam.
