Barry Walkers most recent solo work and his most energetic and busy as well. You might know him for his ambient records or as a player in Rose City Band. He plays several string instruments but is most known for his pedal steel and on Shoulda […]
Great electric, psychedelic jazz funk. Voodoo Sound Club hones their broad afro jazz influences into an even tighter sound than before and subjects their deep grooves to long improvisations that become new grooves in turn. The record is just four massive tracks, with each side dominated […]
Great cosmic country that’s warm and folksy in the PNW tradition. Lots of instrumental space but nice vocal cuts too and always very melodic. His voice and delivery reminds me of Gun Outfit, or maybe a subdued David Berman. It’s a little too jammy to call […]
The full length debut by the Hong Kong based duo packs a huge punch that has kept me returning to this record (and their others) for several years now. It’s electric blues with thick drones, thicker riffs and yes the occasional frantic and fuzzy solo. They […]
Athens, Georgia based psych pop artist Christina Schneider released the first single off their upcoming album “Wicked Jaw,” out at the end of July via Captured Tracks. “You Were Right About One Thing” is the first of the 10 tracks on the record, which promises to […]

Top tier synth explorations from Athens, Georgias JoJo Gladwill. Beautiful stuff with an overall haunting and introspective vibe. You may know him as the keyboard wizard and secret weapon to Athens psych bands Night Palace and of Montreal. He has a rather big impact on the […]
A late great thesis on the one of a kind experiment that is Climax Golden Twins. The influential Seattle experimental duo returns after a decade plus break with a double LP that’s simply perfection. It is an instant classic. Jeffery Taylor and Robert Millis have a […]
The solo debut by Ghost (Japan) bandleader Masaki Batoh is a great record and I was very happy to find one in the used bins. It opens with excellent covers of Can and Cream before moving through the sparse folk and droning ambient that would become […]
Batida is a kind of old school sample heavy edm from west Africa thats been popularized by some recent interpretations and reinventions from Portuguese record label Principe. The first studio LP from the label this 2023 is by DJ Danifox, and I find their almost half-time […]
