How are we already in August? AUGUST. Anyway, while I figure out why time has become so distorted, here’s some great new music: Surf Muscle – “Theme From Surf Muscle”/”In The Hall of The Mountain King” Lathe-cut onto transparent vinyl in extremely limited quantities, Surf Muscle’s latest single is a red hot cruise of summerContinue reading “August 2020 Roundup”

Francie Moon – All The Same
Francie Moon completely obliterates all expectations with the expanded cassette release of All The Same. The New Jersey band kicks the tape off with a sludgy acid rocker that Bardo Pond would be proud of (“First Wave”), and then spirals off into a variety of contrasting directions, like laid-back dub grooves (“Dear Love”), or etherealContinue reading “Francie Moon – All The Same”
