It's a full sonic haul this weekend, and we're here for it. Headliners for this edition include the return of Guest Directors (long-awaited new single teases great things to come), DEAFCULT, Glixen (pictured above), Linebeck, Seablite, La Casa Al Mare (talk about an overdue return), Catatonic Suns, Spunsugar, bed bug guru, chokecherry, and Self Love Club. But there's so much more to celebrate: we're bumping the newest sounds from Blonde […]
Bandcamp Friday means there's much compiling to do, as multiple releases converge in a multi-car pileup of new music (or some twisted metaphor to that effect). And we're here for it. Headliners? New Releases from DEAFCULT, Soft Science, Film School, Drop Nineteens, Bleach Lab, Candy Claws, Glazyhaze, Dead Leaf Echo, Teenage Wrist, Citrus, Gaadge (pictured above), I Was Afraid, LOSTSLEEP, The Real Sea, Voidsoul, and Lital Hagayan (interviewed here) make […]
Weekend is won! We're spinning up San Francisco-based Bad Visuals (pictured above), with their fresh take on a classic sound. But we're also thrilled to get hands 'round new tunes from Misty Coast, Blankenberge, Swallow the Rat, Shady Bug, Holy Drone, Llollyanna, Tired, Star Horse, Deafcult, Barrie, Jupiter Sprites, Cathedral Bells, and classic gems we've unearthed from Au Revoir Borealis. Plus we're deep into the new release from TBTCI Records, […]
Early 2015. DEAFCULT release their self-titled first EP. Opens up with the obvious single "BEEMOMUG". Perhaps the best opening statement of a band this decade. The sound, the structure, the propulsion... it's like being sweetly slapped upside the head. At our studios, we got the early release, and DEAFCULT won a permanent place in rotation, and in our hearts. Anyone and everyone we shared with had the same immediate reaction: […]
When you have at least three legitimate headliners to play out your weekend, which do you choose for a graphic? Well, there's the huge compilation dedicated to the memory and musical love of scene stalwart Chris Tressler, bringing together bands from around the globe to celebrate the spirit of a genuine fan and supporter of the scene. For The Love of Chris Tressler brings together 51 unique artists, organized and […]
If you've spent the last six months sleeping under a rock, there's a new album from Ride out today. In fact, their first new LP in 21 years. If you don't think that's a thing, you may be tuned into the wrong radio station, my friends. Much like when Slowdive released a new album this year, a number of other new releases got overlooked (well, everywhere but here). But, you […]
New music in abundance, this weekend is well overbooked! The crowning achievement is the release of the new Tears Run Rings LP, In Surges, which has got us in studio all twitterpated. Their deft touch, their consistent tunefulness remind us why theirs is one of the preeminent voices in the genre, and their occasional absences are really a loss for all of us. We're also deep the new album from […]
We didn't update your Gaze Guide last weekend, and for that we're sorry. Plugged much new material in, but the only way you'd know is to listen. Rest assured, fellow travelers, we'll post for this weekend and last, so you'll know what your ears are hearing. We spun a world premiere from the new album by Aire Espacial, plus assaulted your senses with DEAFCULT. Add in Dissolve (not that one, […]
