Fuzz Ghost – Fuzz Ghost EP

Fuzz Ghost manages to find that magical combination of lo-fi recording style, languid vocals, a melodic chorus and a driving energy throughout. It’s also, smartly, just five songs – so there’s not much room for error or boredom. 

Volume 69 Admittedly, it’s been a few months since the last edition of the podcast. However, it hasn’t been that long since I actually compiled one, it’s just been a regrettably long time since I released it. You should have been enjoying these fine songs all summer long! The upside is that truly good new music […]

Heavy Hitter – End of the Road EP

Hopefully they take no offense to this but I think it’s safe to say this collection of four songs fits squarely into the Screamo genre. I hesitate to lump it in with the rest of the 90′s throwbacks that have been sprouting up all over the place but it’s definitely a nice reminder of a […]

Volume 69

Download M4A Download MP3Stream Podcast It has been, admittedly, a few months since the last edition of the podcast. However, that does not mean it’s been a few months since I’ve actually compiled one, it’s just been awhile since I released one. The delay is unfortunate but it works out favorably because these songs are […]

Kyle Andrews – Live from Tootsie’s at the Airport?

I can’t decide which is more surprising, that Kyle Andrews released a country inspired record or that it’s entitled “Live from Tootsie’s at the Airport?” Yes, with the question mark. It’s probably the title that wins out for the oddest part of this release because the music isn’t that baffling – it’s a more straightforward batch […]

Porcelain Teeth – Hurry Up and Wait teaser

From the ashes of Umbrella Tree rises Porcelain Teeth – a new band that seems to be promising quite the audio-visual affair at their album release show on October 13th. Watch that teaser – it’s amazing! If the show can sustain 25% of the goodness seen and heard in that video, it will be an […]

PUJOL “Sleepy Doni”

The combination here of PUJOL music paired with Everything Is Terrible directorial puppets, show clips and “subliminal” messaging is perfect. Both tend to skew towards appearing upbeat and fun but always with a dark underpinning if you’re paying the slightest bit of attention. The tale of Sleepy Doni certainly fits into that space quite well […]

Scale Model “Live It Up (Burgers Remix)”

Scale Model’s drummer, Steve Cross, is a man of many hats. When not behind the kit he’s usually found behind a camera and occasionally behind 1′s and 2′s as the DJ moniker, BURGERS. Okay, he’s probably not behind the “1′s and 2′s” because that’s an embarrassing phrase, not to mention a dated one. He is, in all […]

Sol Cat – Dos

Heads up, the previously mentioned second EP from Sol Cat is now available. I completely misjudged these guys from their prior releases (pre-Uno) but now fully embrace their indie-rock-with-dark-undertones vibe. I hope there’s a Tres release up their sleeve, as I’m onboard for more.

All Them Witches “Open Passageways”

Listen to the new track from All Them Witches forthcoming Dying Surfer Meets His Maker. Surprisingly, the track seems to veer a bit from their prior works containing a distinct Evil Psychedelic Desert Vibe. It’s more mature, incorporating strings and more lush arrangements.  There’s still a foreboding vibe but it seems more forlorn. Now I’m […]

Parcel and Sky – Self-Titled

The instrumental works of Parcel and Sky are a pleasant way to spend your morning gearing up for work. While there are no direct lyrics to sing along with they’ve definitely managed to work in quite a bit of gang vocal ooh’s and aah’s so you won’t be left out when it comes to singing […]
