We're featuring this week's freshest tracks, including a world premiere from Vancouver sonic heroes Palm Haze (pictured above, photo courtesy Marie Catafesta). "Walk Away" features all the sonic signatures that make Palm Haze a creative force to be reckoned with: languid vocals, atmospheric distorted guitar churn, and a carefully-charted sonic journey. "Walk Away" releases to all your favorite platforms next week, so keep ears peeled for this one! Among our […]
We are fully loaded with fresh sounds for the hot summer weekend! First among headliners: Palm Haze, Calmly, Lightning Bug (the ONE single you MUST hear if you're a DKFM listener), and NEWMOON returns with a softer (but perhaps even more compelling) sound. Topping all else, the new release from St. Petersburg's SPRING WINDS, who'd teased us with credible single last year. Now they've brought proof of mastery, in the […]
Another amazing week for new music, with two long-awaited albums released just this morning. WESTKUST released their second LP today, and Living Hour (pictured above) unleashed Softer Faces, their second full album of original material. And the two LPs couldn't be more different, but neither is less charming for the difference. Westkust remains focused on hummable tunes wrapped in distortion, while Living Hour appears to dismantle and reassemble the form, […]
When you are so deluged with quality new music, you can spend literally all day, and still not feel you've done it justice. At some point, you've got to pull the pin and call it stellar. Of course it's release day for The Daysleepers and Creation, their first new album in a decade. Was it worth the extended wait? We're not the only ones raving, but we'll let you be […]
Thinking it might be a slow weekend for new music, we sort of went into cruise control. Wrong. Always wrong. We have the honor of previewing next week's release of When The Sun Hits (the band, not the blog, or the classic Slowdive song) on Saint Marie Records. Immersed Within Your Eyes drops next week, and you can hear why SMR was rightly buzzed about these Nottingham lads. But, more. Former […]
Amidst a wash of new releases, we're also beset with difficulties with our carrier network, which is collapsing and restarting servers along the chain. We soldier on. The new LP from Elsa (pictured above), plus the long-awaited return of PARLOUR (if it seems like it's been years, you're not far wrong). New music from Palm Haze, The Smilies, The Stargazer Lilies, WIDOWSPEAK, Intenna, Justine Never Knew the Rules, Black Sea, […]
Everything arrives at the same time. We're doing our part in keeping it all together, and giving it all due respect and love. We start with the ridiculously long-awaited full-length from Bellavista. Rex & Co. broke away from Tamaryn to try to polish and perfect this presentation, and the hard work has paid off. But that competes with another LP we've been waiting on, Panda Riot's Infinity Maps. Finally. See […]
