Emery Reel – …For and Acted Upon Through Diversions

Many years ago (2004), there was a strong contingent of instrumental post-rock all around Nashville. Emery Reel was always first class in their delivery of quiet tension exploding into a proper onslaught of sound. If you’ve not heard it before, now is your chance to make up for a hole in your musical repertoire. If […]

Self – “Runaway” The first official Self release from the forthcoming Super Fake Nice EP comes in the form of a cat video. A glorious cat video featuring synthesizers, drumming cats and a lot of well executed wind machines. I’d venture to say it’s the finest Self video in the history of Self videos.

Spanish Candles – Playing Favorites

Who doesn’t love a cover song? No one, that’s who. Spanish Candles put together this compilation of seven of their favorites spanning from Basement Jaxx to Creedence to Pavement. Familiar yet unique.

KLYNT – Carver

Is it dance? Is it hip-hop? Is it dark wave exploration? It’s a little bit of everything. I even get a little dash of Prefuse 73 influence peeking its way through and that’s a helluva compliment.

PUJOL – Youniverse

One of my favorite tracks from the new PUJOL record gets a solid VHS shot video. Dig those on screen text graphics! (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Evan P Donohue – “She’s Mine I’m Yours”

Not gonna lie, I was starting to worry that we’d heard the last from Evan P Donohue. It’s been quite awhile since his last release but he’s back! The first single, “She’s Mine I’m Yours” is just a taste of what to expect from his forthcoming full-length, Stairway to Evan. Yes, that’s the actual awesome […]

Girls of the SEC – Lost Summer

Ryan Burleson has re-released his Girls of the SEC EP, Lost Summer, with some bonus tracks. If you missed it the first time, don’t be a dummy this time around – get it. It’s a helluva soundtrack for the warmer days.

EL EL – “40 Watt" 

There’s something about this video that freaks me out. Is it possible that we’re seeing the beginning of a cult form? Regardless, it’s a solid video and a great summer tune. Well done EL EL. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Meadownoise – Dark Digest (Updates)

If you haven’t been paying attention you may have missed the fact that Meadownoise has continuously been adding to his slow-release album, Dark Digest. “Casi Mato”, “Red Again” and “The Thrush” are now available for your ears to enjoy. Dive in.

All Them Witches – “Effervescent”

A new track from faves All Them Witches just popped on Bandcamp and it’s listed as an EP. My initial thought was more must be on the way but that one track is 25 minutes long! You can’t call yourself Stoner Jam unless you actually jam every once and awhile.Â
