what a beautiful monday morning gift!
*the smile*consists of radiohead’s thom yorke and sons of kemet.
sometimes the newness you crave comes from those practicing artists that embody everything you want to be…
A little new old disco romance for robots.
One advises the other “I’m old school. I just want to dance.”
A happy night, though.
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様 - Kumoyo Island
Kikagaku Moyo/幾何学模様 – Kumoyo Island
Some very happy news today, as Japanese acid-folk-psych band Kikagaku Moyo have given us a fresh album.
From their Bandcamp website:
“In many ways ‘Kumoyo Island’ represents the culmination of a journey for Kikagaku Moyo. While their decade-long career can be summarized as a series of kaleidoscopic explorations through lands and dimensions far and near, there’s a strong intention in each of their…
A Shelter In The Desert - Pequeñas Hiroshimas
A Shelter In The Desert – Pequeñas Hiroshimas
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we present you a new post-rock band out of Mexico City called A Shelter In The Desert. The band’s sound incorporates a lot of shoegaze sounds and has a cinematic vibe to it. Impressive, and worth exploring.
Various Artists - Record Kicks 15th
Various Artists – Record Kicks 15th
Italy’s Record Kicks has been releasing crime-funk, hip garage rock, deep soul, afro and boogaloo hits for 15 years so the label will be offering, as of May 15th, a compilation of some of their finest moments. Bands on this killer comp include The Tibbs, Calibro 35 and our favorite neo-soul diva, Martha Ren.
The Mossad - The Sleeping Dragon/'Stunt Queen’
The Mossad – The Sleeping Dragon/’Stunt Queen’
The Mossad are a project out of Lansing, Michigan, which reminds me of a slower, dubbier, late-period Tackhead or even Gang of Four with less funk, but far rawer. I haven’t heard a sound this crunch since the late 1980s, so for music ability and nostalgia, I give this single high marks.
Valgeir Sigurðsson - Kvika
Valgeir Sigurðsson – Kvika
Icelandic composer Valgeir Sigurðsson is a classical composer who has developed into the country’s leading light in terms of modern classical music.
From his Bandcamp site:
“Valgeir has become a master of sound to get lost in. Through his layering of his collaborators’ instrumental and vocal parts and a nuanced balance of electronic and organic sound, KVIKA is a perfect collection of moments that…
Various Artists - Shirley Inspired…
Various Artists – Shirley Inspired…
There is, apparently, a documentary film coming out on the life of Shirley Collins, the grand dame of British folk music who worked with such artists as disparate as Davey Graham and Current 93. This compilation is tied to the film, and features artists like Lee Ranaldo, Alasdair Roberts and Angel Olsen, but the standout track is The Murder Of Maria Marten, eerily performed by Ela Stiles. 45…
Vtoroy Etazh Porazhayet - Kraynosty
Vtoroy Etazh Porazhayet – Kraynosty
Vtoroy Etazh Porazhayet (2nd Floor is Striking) are a Moscow post-punk outfit, and it seems both Russia and Belarus are producing a lot of these days. They are released by the French record label Belka Records. Their sound will appeal strongly to those who are into the post-punk renaissance of the past five years or so.
TEKE::TEKE - Shirushi
TEKE::TEKE – Shirushi
TEKE::TEKE are a band out of Canada who combine a punk aesthetic with psychedelic music and Japanese soundtrack music from the 1960s. It’s about as unique a release as I’ve heard in some time.
Mankunku Quartet - Yakhal’ Inkomo (Special Edition)
Mankunku Quartet – Yakhal’ Inkomo (Special Edition)
This is one of South Africa’s best jazz outings. It features tenor saxophonist Winston “Mankunku” Ngozi and the album blends not only South African jazz but also the works of John Coltrane and Horace Silver. A swinging release.
Manja Ristić - The Black Isle
Manja Ristić – The Black Isle
In honor of returning to lovely Belgrade, I salute the occasion with Serbian electrostatic composer Manja Ristić, now based in Croatia.
I’m ascending
if you don’t use bandcamp, i’d really encourage you to spend some time there. there’s millions of artists on there putting out great material, a lot of which never even makes 1 sale, or breaks 10 plays
if you’re new to the site, the front page is a good place to start. you can pick a genre and scroll thru it. by default it puts popular stuff up front, but i’d suggest looking at new releases
most albums have a “music you’ll also love” section at the bottom of the page, so you can start from one thing and go down a rabbit hole. you can find whole scenes this way
or look at the genre tags that don’t show up on the front page! find a sub-subgenre and explore something you’ve definitely never heard before. what’s furrycore? dreamcore? post-hyperpop? progressive extreme metal? melodic juke?
bandcamp also tags music by location. what are ppl in your city making?
going out of your way to find new music can make an artist’s day, or turn you on to something you wouldn’t normally go for. think about it
