Daily Jam - Drug

Here's a somber little piano ballad from early '00s alt-rock band The Czars.  From the excellently titled 2001 album "The Ugly People Vs The Beautiful People," check out "Drug," our Daily Jam.

ProtoU

The rain and cold weather are gradually moving into the area today.  So, here's some cold and dark ambient music from ProtoU to play it in.  Listen to the kind of ominous "The Escape" below and get the upcoming "Anomalies" album here from Cryo Chamber.

Daily Jam - If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)

This might be my favorite Ween song, and for some reason it just fills me with a surge of emotional energy.  Good stuff.  Check out "If You Could Save Yourself (You'd Save Us All)" below, our Daily Jam.

Wives

Here's some post punk from New York band Wives that feels like it's culling from the best of '90s alt-rock and then just stirring it all in a pot.  Listen to "Waving Past Nirvana" below and get the "So Removed" LP here from City Slang.

Bestial Mouths

Here's some goth heavy, darkwave synth pop from Berlin duo Bestial Mouths.  This music demands to be listened to in cold weather, so maybe we'll get some soon.  Check out "INSHROUDSS" below and get the EP of same name here from the artist.

The Rentals

It looks like we're getting new music from The Rentals next year.  Cool.  It seems like it's been a spell since we last heard from Matt Sharp.  Check out the appropriate space rock vibes of "Spaceships" below and go ahead and pre-order next June's "Q36" double LP here from the artist.

Ben Woods

Here's a little mutant alt-rock from New Zealand's Ben Woods.  "Indulge" kind of sounds like some warbled piece of lo-fi pop that might have oozed out of a late '90s artist at the end of long tour, recorded on a bus or a van, tired, weary, and waiting for the sun to rise.  Check it out below and get the "PUT" LP here from Melted Ice Cream.

SUSS

Falling somewhere between the interstellar expanse of some new age planetarium soundtrack and the lonesome, wandering tunes of old west, the music on "High Line," the latest from New York band SUSS sounds like some lost Americana dream.  Songs that float in the air like dust, sun reflecting and refracting off of each particle, an open and immense world before us all.  Listen to "Wetlands" below and order the record here from Northern Spy.

Ashtray Navigations

Here's some new sonic explorations from UK experimental artist Ashtray Navigations.  "A Carbine Is a Beautiful White Bird" is equal parts nature documentary soundtrack and noise collage.  Listen below and get the new "The Fabulist" album here from the artist.

Daily Jam - Peek-a-Boo

Everyday is a good day for Siouxsie and The Banshees.  Here's "Peek-a-Boo," our Daily Jam.
