Joshua Morse – VLAD

In celebration of Halloween week I’m going to try to post some stuff this week that, thematically, makes sense. Joshua Morse does a great bit of chiptune and videogame music but this particular EP is themed around Castlevania – the Nintendo classic aimed at hunting down the king of vampires. It’s a fitting mix and […]

Count Drizzle – Chickn Wang

I tweeted about it late last week but if you missed the 2013 installment of absurd rap goodness from Count Drizzle, waste no more time – watch it now. There are prior installments as well. You should just go ahead and watch them all. (Source: https://twitter.com/)

Andrew Combs / Steelism split 7"

I’ll be honest, I’m a bit partial to the Steelism side of this 7" but I’m happy to see that it exists no matter what. You can pre-order the digital or physical version over on the Electric Western Bandcamp. Highly recommended weekend listening.

Meadownoise – “Hair Just So”

What’s this? A new Meadownoise track? And a promise of new music being released more regularly over the coming months? Yes, Please! The song is a slow build with that melancholy introspection tinged with  humor and a bit of tension that Mr. Glassmeyer does so well. 

Sexx – Surf City

I’m kind of a sucker for loose, raucous rock songs that still manage to give a hat tip towards some anthemic chorus. This has a nice sloppy swagger to it and a helluva good band name.

Eagle Meth – Next Level Shit

I dunno what the previous level is but this Next Level is certainly interesting. What’s that on the cover? A slug priest holding a three eyed cat while journeying through a field of psychedelic mushrooms? Yes, definitely. To be completely honest, I’ve no idea what I’m listening to but I do know if you played […]

Kink Ador – Road to Hell

If this wasn’t partially inspired by The Fifth Element, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle. That’s a compliment btw. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Black Cat Sylvester – Elated Bacon

The video is a weird house party of novelty characters but the song is a pleasant bit of relaxing downtempo. Free download of the track over at Soundcloud. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Zach Vinson – Time for Tea

Zach Vinson is going on tour. To kick off the occasion he’ll be playing The Basement on Oct. 30th. Worth swinging by to see them, they put on a quite a show – as you can see above. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Honey Locust – Honey Pot

First proper preview track from the full-length  Official release date is still undeclared but this gives you something to look forward to. (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)

Makeup and Vanity Set – Manifold

Available for pre-order now and full release on Oct 25th is the latest from Makeup and Vanity Set, Manifold. The EP serves as a soundtrack to the short film of the same name by Anthony Scott Burns. Most importantly, it continues the ongoing progression of MAVS ability to craft some seriously foreboding and incredibly eerie […]
