Pieces Vol.1

So last year we were treated by the great Burning Witches Records with the excellent Halloween compilation Witches’ Halloween Brew. You could be thinking to yourself that Witches’ Halloween Brew was some kind of overhopped IPA made with spiced gourd, roasted pumpkin seeds, and the souls of the innocent. I wouldn’t doubt that that beer […]

Track Premiere : Hear Future Museum’s Exquisite New Single “Presidio”

photos by Shane Renfro Neil Lord has had a busy year so far. He released the Holodeck Records debut of his long running project Future Museums titled Rosewater Ceremony back in February(his first with Holodeck, but just one in a long line of FM releases.) At the end of June Lord and Thousand Foot Whale Claw […]

High on Fire : Electric Messiah

Matt Pike has had a pretty busy year. In April he and Sleep dropped the surprise 4/20 record The Sciences. It was the first new Sleep material since their Adult Swim Singles Series track “The Clarity” from 2014. Then a couple months later Sleep drops yet another Adult Swim single called “Leagues Beneath”, possibly recorded […]

This Will Destroy You : New Others Part One

This Will Destroy You are unique among their contemporaries. Much like fellow Texans Explosions in The Sky, This Will Destroy You make big sky compositions out of guitars, drums, subtle electronics and synths that allow you to fall into the tracks and get lost for a bit. Expansive, vast, and exploratory musical journeys that feel […]

Jeff Tweedy and “Some Birds”

As of late, I’ve been more excited about the music Jeff Tweedy has been creating outside of Wilco. In all honesty, I think Tweedy’s first solo album Sukierae from 2013 is the best collection of music he’s penned since Wilco’s A Ghost Is Born. There’s things to love about post AGIB Wilco, but I’m just […]

Omni Gardens : West Coast Escapism

Steve Rosborough works out the psychic kinks through music. Whether he’s running his label Moon Glyph Records and releasing albums of forward-thinking psych by other like-minded artists, or laying down the cosmic Tangerine Dream vibes himself under the name Soothsayer, Rosborough is very much interested in healing thru the power of music. Though his label […]

Mythic Sunship : Another Shape of Psychedelic Music

I’ve had those nights. Those nights where you head down into that darkened basement studio with a pal, and a few too many beers, and decide to hit record and see what happens. Amps buzzing, basses bruising, and drums beaten to within an inch of their lives. Everything in that recording space is electric, man. […]

“The Shape Returns”

John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies have unleashed the first piece from their soundtrack to David Gordon Green’s Halloween and it’s an eerie reminder of what made Carpenter’s original so chilling, seductive, and the iconic piece it has become. The track, aptly titled “The Shape Returns”, sounds like a microcosm of all the various […]

Wild Nothing : Indigo

Jack Tatum has a way with songwriting. He’s proven that since the beginning. Since way back in 2010 when Tatum was recording these dreamy, hazy pop songs in his bedroom that ended up being Wild Nothing’s debut Gemini. On that album the lo-fi aspect of the recordings added a touch of mystery to the proceedings, […]

White Denim : Performance

White Denim seem like a band that’s been trying to find themselves since the very beginning. The Austin four-piece have traversed in several musical styles, including psych rock, fusion, jazz, blues, soul, and even a bit of country pickin’, too(they are southern boys, after all.) Some of their earlier albums felt as if they were […]
