Eff reverb stompboxes — why not just dump the whole band into a reverb chamber and throw in a mic? That’s what Fungi Girls‘ new album Some Magic Days sounds like: a rollicking mix of laidback strummy psych. I didn’t know a Texas band could play it so cool,...

One of the more eery tracks from the latest release by Chicago native ambient artist SECRETWARS has been matched with a video. It’s "Layaway," off the massively ambitious double album Double Fantasy Vacation. We’ve embedded the video below along with another somewhat spooky track from the same LP, "Sleep...

Not too long ago TV Girl dropped a gorgeous self-titled EP only to have the Warner Music Group get antsy in their pantsy over an unlicensed sample in one of the songs. The San Diego duo behind TV Girl, Trung Ngo and Brad Petering, was offered the opportunity to...

FYI, the featured track here is really titled "Soul & <3" by Chrome Sparks (similarly for the other featured track) but this web platform doesn’t seem to be able to handle the immense technical complexities of putting a ‘<‘ sign in the title. Not sure how it’s gonna feed...

I’m not super clear on the details of this release, here’s what I think. It’s an EP called Cocaine Love by Jef Barbara. Either DannielRadall is collaborating with him on the entire EP, or he just remixed one of the songs ("Cocaine Love" — streaming below). UPDATE: Oh wait,...

Teen Suicide? With an album called Bad Vibes Forever? A Bandcamp banner that announces in scrawled No. 2 pencil: "I HATE MYSELF"? Song titles like "I feel like dying", "Taking pills", and "Suicide"? This is a joke, right? Well, sort of. I haven’t seen this much unbroken pathos since...

West Coast band LA Font gets shout-outs for Pavement overtones. I’m not hearing it. Maybe it’s just because I’ve only heard these two kick ass jamz off their 7", stream ’em below. Maybe there’s a treasure trove of Pavement-esque LA Font material out there — or maybe a lot...
