Music
Gazillion (ft. J Dilla)
MF DOOM passed away (RIP) and we’re not ever going to be done remembering him through his music.
Taken Back
Rich Ruth’s I Survived, It’s Over is too zonked to parse genre distinctions finely. Call it ‘psychedelic.’
Yusawa Experience
The true thrust of Precipitation’s Glass Horizon is chill, New Age ambient, but have a listen to house banger “Yuzawa Experience.”
Family Name
Beat Radio returns to the airwaves with Real Love, the first release from the Brian Sendrowitz-led band since 2016.
Thin Thing
For diehard fans of Radiohead, The Smile’s debut album A Light for Attracting Attention is obligatory.
Altar of Tammy
Not so infrequently artists describe their music best. Mary Lattimore and Paul Sukeena keep it simple.
Mt. Surreal
Disco Doom is nothing if not patient on the superlative title track of its forthcoming LP Mt. Surreal, working through the musical motifs like a chimp on Thorazine solving a Rubik’s Cube.
Synthetic Fire
Garcia Peoples continues to defy the odds for indie bands (really, any band) by releasing a high quantity of high quality material that actually sells.
The Sun XiX
The Copenhagen-based ambient artist Sofie Birch cultivates a rainforest of cool electronica exotica on Holotropica.
Waited All Day
You know you’re hearing a good vocalist when they can hang on one phrase verse after verse and you don’t feel the time passing. Rosali is it.
a kind of promise
Experimental sound artist Claire Rousay leans into the contemporary classical minimalist vibe on our highlighted track “a kind of promise.”
Please Don’t Think It’s Funny
Daniel Knox covered the classic Mister Rogers tunes and it’s no joke.
Tota Perta
Sourdure: jazz, gypsy, French, pagan, psychedelic, profound, spiritual, mystic, modern, and more.
Empty Bottles
Rose City Band has moments that sound like they’re straight off your favorite Dead bootleg. “Empty Bottle” hits different.
