Friday Horror Trailer - Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday

 

Daily Jam - Drop

I don't remember why this song exploded back into my consciousness the other day, but i'm sure glad that it did.  I probably hadn't thought about The Pharcyde and "Drop" in 20 years, but i'm all about re-appreciation.  Anyway, check out the excellent Spike Jonze video for the excellent track below, our Daily Jam.

loscil

I don't know about the rest of you, but lately my anxiety, my stress, and my depression have been off the charts.  It's just everything.  And it comes out of nowhere, usually at night after my kids have gone to bed.  But right now, i'm trying to subdue it with some soothing and meditative ambient drone from Vancouver artist loscil.  New album "The Sails p.2" is out now.  Listen to "Century" below and get the whole thing here.

Here's a psych-tinged instrumental from Sweden's The Soundtrack of Our Lives.  Listen to "Regenesis" below, our Daily Jam.

The Sound of Science

UK outfit The Sound of Science make motorik synth pop and psych folk to move about your day to...working...learning...living.  It's kind of hypnotic.  Check out "Photosynthesis (Love the Green Machines)" below and get the self-titled album here from Castles in Space.

Daily Jam - Shinda Shima

Here's a little dreamy psych pop from French band Mellow.  Kosmische and airy synths and vocoders for all!  Listen to "Shinda Shima" below, our Daily Jam.

Black Midi

We're getting a new album from UK post-punks Black Midi over the summer with "Hellfire."  Our first taste is the nervy and punchy "Welcome to Hell," a frenetic jam that feels like a ball energy about to explode with some slam poetry laid atop.  Check it out below and pre-order the album here from Rough Trade.

Daily Jam - My Ship Is Coming In

Here's some classic '60s pop from The Walker Brothers.  Listen to "My Ship Is Coming In" below, our Daily Jam.

Ornament

Here's some wonderful '70s pop aping indie rock from Nashville duo Ornament.  "In Her Light" feels like the kind of thing we've been listening to for the last 50 years, and i'm probably gonna have it on repeat all day.  Check out the video below and download the single here.

Daily Jam - Magic Theatre

Remember Kula Shaker?  The band surfaced in the mid '90s during the Britpop boom, riding that genre's popularity wave very similarly to all the 2nd wave grunge acts that followed Nirvana, Pearl Jam, et al in the early '90s.  They weren't half bad though and they did manage to score a couple of moderate hits.  This isn't one of them.  Listen to the dreamy "Magic Theatre" below, our Daily Jam.
