October Roundup – Son of Buzzi, The Happy Hour Band, Forgotten Bottom & More.
There is no silence this October. Only new music. So let’s dive straight into this month’s Roundup! Son of Buzzi – The Ghost Son of Buzzi is more of a multimedia art installation than a band. The Swiss duo composes 12-string guitar fantasias to be the backdrop (or rather, a collaboration with) a variety ofContinue reading “October Roundup – Son of Buzzi, The Happy Hour Band, Forgotten Bottom & More.”
Nick Vander ft. Felipe Bazan – Flow Corridor
If the world of Eraserhead had bands playing on street corners for pocket change, I imagine they might sound like Nick Vander and Felipe Bazan’s murky avant-garde jazz nugget: Flow Corridor. Drenched with a haunting home-recorded closeness and lo-fi hum, this release possesses an immense presence. Vander and Bazan, both of The Equinox Collective, tether together hereContinue reading “Nick Vander ft. Felipe Bazan – Flow Corridor”
Osmium House – Entrance Level
While many bands today might play psychedelic music, others, such as Denver’s Osmium House, understand that it is not merely a genre.

No matter what exact style of music Aesop Adams’ projectContinue reading “Osmium House – Entrance Level”

All these many years later, THDC is still showing that some of the most exciting sounds in contemporary acid rock are coming from the South American continent. Hyper Super MegaContinue reading “The Holydrug Couple – Hyper Super Mega”
The Frecks, Old Smile & The Return of The Duke of Surl: August Round Up
If you follow the RCU Instagram account, you would’ve seen me gush about these three releases/artists, but they all definitely deserve some mentions here. First up, we have The Frecks, a raw, no-fucks given punk group out of Tucson. This is one of the rare times where IG recommended a video for me that was actuallyContinue reading “The Frecks, Old Smile & The Return of The Duke of Surl: August Round Up”
Alien Lizard – Pure Kafka [Experimental Rock/Psychedelic Rock]
Alien Lizard, an experimental rock group out of Gdańsk, Poland, recently unleashed their surreal and otherworldly debut album upon the world. Pure Kafka is a murky dreamscape rich with swaths of shoegaze-like guitar, ghostly vocals and cold synthesized atmospherics. In some ways, the sound here is reminiscent of the dark ambience of The Future SoundContinue reading “Alien Lizard – Pure Kafka [Experimental Rock/Psychedelic Rock]”
