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 […]
wonderful and quirky record from Uruguay, the soundscapes are rather ecstatic with some moody moment, but overall an absolute gem perfect for soaking in the sun.
The full length debut from Bong Wish is a rootsy-yet-airy psych release I didn’t know I needed. 9 songs of psychedelic folk rock that’s fun, upbeat, simple and thoughtful. The production, lyrics and delivery are all classically psychedelic and overtly UK rock influenced. The project absolutely […]

They almost sufficiently describe themselves as “traditional Norwegian microtonal electronic dance music” or “proper acid folk.” You really just have to listen to it. Custom microtonal instruments, jaw harps, and […]
