Single Premiere: “Lead Man,” by Ralph E. White
With the help of Jerry David DeCicca in the producer’s chair, Ralph E. White has returned with a new record of surreal folk-inspired music on Worried Songs called It’s More in My Body Than in My Mind. White is a wonderfully eccentric and sadly underestimated southwestern American artist that has been operating within the tangledContinue reading “Single Premiere: “Lead Man,” by Ralph E. White”

Damon and Naomi have once again teamed up with Michio Kurihara to put the dream in dream pop.

Old Million Eye – Set & Drift
Old Million Eye’s Set & Drift is a swirling, hazy sea of mystical and ethereal sounds. Being a project of Brian Lucas (of Dire Wolves), one would come to expect Old Million Eye’s music to be abstract and yet, the variety of unusual sounds and directions taken on this album still feel fresh and exciting.Continue reading “Old Million Eye – Set & Drift”
Drew Gardner – s/t
Drew Gardner is releasing his first solo album today on Eiderdown Records, and it is every bit as strong and essential as anything he had ever released in his duo, Elkhorn. Recorded at Black Dirt Studios by the enormously talented Jason Meagher, this album of tight improvisations features Gardner on electric guitar, Garcia Peoples’ AndyContinue reading “Drew Gardner – s/t”
Ghost Funk Orchestra – An Ode to Escapism
Following up Ghost Funk Orchestra’s excellent and moving debut LP, 2019’s A Song for Paul, wasn’t going to be an easy task. Yet, Seth Applebaum and his sonic family of bandmates and collaborators drastically upped the ante and really delivered on An Ode to Escapism. Perhaps the first major change between records that a keenContinue reading “Ghost Funk Orchestra – An Ode to Escapism”
Gunn-Truscinski Duo – Soundkeeper
With four LP sides of finely sculpted guitar and percussion soundscapes, Soundkeeper is the fourth and possibly best record in the already superb Gunn-Truscinski Duo discography. Guitarist Steve Gunn and drummer John Truscinski have been playing together for ten years now, so they would of course know each other’s playing styles and strengths as ifContinue reading “Gunn-Truscinski Duo – Soundkeeper”
L’Eclair- нощта

Kendra Amalie & Ryley Walker – Papaya In A Hound’s Tooth
While the rest of us are in 2020, Kendra Amalie and Ryley Walker are hangin’ in 3020, creating some of the most disorienting records of twisted guitar alchemy that you’ve ever heard. With the release of last year’s Intuition, Amalie proved herself to be not only one of the most fiercely original and versatile axe-wieldersContinue reading “Kendra Amalie & Ryley Walker – Papaya In A Hound’s Tooth”
Aaron Dooley – Dooley Noted
Aaron Dooley’s solo debut record, Dooley Noted, is further proof that some of the headiest, gnarliest psychedelic music being made today is coming out of Colorado. Dooley, who you may remember from his work with Osmium House, opens the door to his world, his inner psyche, with each and every track here. The recordings feel personallyContinue reading “Aaron Dooley – Dooley Noted”
