girlfriend.

I'm digging on a lot of old school sounds this afternoon, hitting various subgenres of alt-rock, indie, and college rock.  Here's some very cool grunge pop vibes from girlfriend.  The band's "Carousel" LP is out in September.  Pre-order it here and listen to "Trees" below.

Drug Bug

With a little bit of jangle, a little bit of psych, a little bit of lo-fi bedroom pop, and some quirky indie rock, Edmonton band Drug Bug have the weird and wonderful goods to get stuck in your ears for an afternoon.  Get stuck with me and "Grapefruit Technique" below, and download the EP here.

The Tubs

Let's get jangly with some new music from UK band The Tubs.  Dig on the old school indie rock sounds of "Who's Gonna Love You Now?" below and pre-order the band's upcoming "Hard Life" LP here from Merge.

Daily Jam - 星のふる郷

Here's a little baroque pop folk from Japanese artist Morio Agata that i picked up at the Austin Record Convention back in May.  Listen to "星のふる郷," which translates to "Hometown of the Stars," below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Hidden Valley

Here are some Sunday new age vibes from UK artist Paul Nagle.  Relax and listen to "Hidden Valley" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun

It's very hard for me to comprehend that M83's third album "Before the Dawn Heals Us" can legally drink now.  My god.  Anyway, enjoy the epic and sprawling album closer "Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Sleep the Clock Around

Scottish indie pop group Belle & Sebastian are very decidedly not drug music.  However, i have a distinct, yet chemically hazy, memory in college of listening to the band's "Sleep the Clock Around" from their 1998 album "The Boy with the Arab Strap," and finding it utterly transcendent for the state that i was in.  (That last part was a pun for all you B&S Heads out there.)  Listen to it below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Mussolini's Exit

I'm lounging at a hill country resort with my family for the next couple of days before my work schedule gets crazy.  Sip a cocktail with me and toast to the death of a fascist with Alvarius B's cover of Ennio Morricone's "Mussolini's Exit."  Check it out below, our Daily Jam.

Spacemoth

Let's get weird with some new music from Cali-based artist Spacemoth and new album "Inward Eye."  Swirling synths, funky bass, and quirky melodies abound.  Listen to "Do We Exist?" below and grab the LP here from Greenway Records.
