The New York based multi instrumentalist presents a record of delicate and crystal clear psychedelic folk with a classic British sound. His beautiful and simply recorded voice is front and center. The arrangements are mostly harp and acoustic guitar but there are other interesting things present, […]
I’ve been a fan of this UK producer since immensely enjoying 2019s “Primed For Primal,” and was eagerly awaiting a full length such as this. It’s beautiful and distinctly Murlo. Their work is very melodic and rhythmically diverse. Free flowing passages are given as much (if […]
Two enigmatic musicians from two sides of the Pacific come together for an amazing tape on Perpetual Doom. The songs are (mostly) courtesy Portland outsider/insider musician Lee Bagget, also known as that mean guitar that’s the secret to folk project Little Wings. There’s a few by/featuring […]
A poetic post-rock record in Arabic with great improvisations and atmosphere. The typical spacious and moody post-rock sound is absolutely there, especially on the second half. Still the Beirut based sextets debut work is loaded with engaging rhythms and interesting jams ala krautrock. The end result […]
This relaxed, woozy synth pop album remains modest and song focused but certainly hints at Lealanis virtuosity. The Californian producer, singer, and multi instrumentalist brings a unique voice and vibe to whatever they work on. I saw them in 2023 with Kid Koala in support of […]

A bootleg in spirit, this live improvisation between Japanese jam legends Kikagaku Moyo and the USAs Ryley Walker (& band) will take you on a trip. Drag City’s own Cooper Craine (Bitching Baja’s, Cave) leveraged his extensive experience in the field to cut and polish a […]
The Afghan-American artist (now based in Eindhoven NE) known for the band The Myrrors returned with a singular and amazing third solo record. This record was planned to be the studio debut of the project, but returned to a classic psychedelic home-and-elsewhere recorded collage. I think […]
It’s another in a long line of excellent and inimitable albums from this Taiwanese duo, and their second for Guruguru Brain. Their signature sample based experimental psychedelic pop has always been evocative of their south Asian surroundings, albeit through a fantastical and heady lens. This one’s […]
Holy Scum is a devastating collision of captivating mixing and production with high caliber, high volume improvisation. Their debut 2022 LP is headphone candy for folks who love the intricate and the distorted. It’s an album that hasn’t left my rotation since release. The group is […]
