NEW MUSIC: Deep Sea Peach Tree – Zanzibar
Woozy, aqueous, dreamy, tripped-out vibes are dripping out of the speakers with this great track from NYC’s Deep Sea Peach Tree. It looks like they’ve been around for a few years with some EP and single releases and an album, Vaguely Navy (2017), already under their belt. Some of their stuff reminds of the much-missed Girls.

NEW MUSIC: Superego – Loose
The tumbling drums were the first thing that caught my ear on this track. A rhythmic collapse into the song as it takes flight on guitars that chime and cascade in shoegaze waves. The vocals are detached, afterthoughts almost. Certainly not central but casually integral to the song as the bassline sways with a dead-eyed swagger and another crashing chorus careens around the corner. Great … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Superego – Loose
NEW MUSIC: Walking Bicycles – ESP
Here’s some psychedelic rock courtesy of Walking Bicycles out of Chicago IL. ‘ESP’ comes from their forthcoming LP Chooch (April 26th), their fifth album from a 15 year career. There’s a cool production approach to the track with an echo chamber kind of vibe giving it a noisey, hard-surfaced clatter that adds a post-punk tension which complements Jocelyn Summer’s anguished recitation. Great rhythm section too! Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Walking Bicycles – ESP
NEWS: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announce new LP ‘Fishing For Fishies’
After their massive five album onslaught of 2017, the band played some massive shows and tours through last year before consolidating and recording their new LP Fishing For Fishies which is set for release on April 26th via their label Flightless Records. They’re calling this 14th album a blues-infused blast of sonic boogie. “We tried to make a blues record,” says frontman Stu Mackenzie. “A … Continue reading NEWS: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard announce new LP ‘Fishing For Fishies’
NEW MUSIC: Lucille Furs – All Flowers Before Her
Lucille Furs are set to release their new LP Another Land, this Friday, March 15th. Here’s the song from it that caught our ears, the 60s psych pop rave up that is ‘All Flowers Before Her’. Sure it’s a retro sound but these guys do it authentically and without a sniff of dress-up pastiche. Listen to the way the track puts a softer psychedelic sheen … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Lucille Furs – All Flowers Before Her
NEW MUSIC: Raave Tapes – Stabs
The Newcastle group Raave Tapes are back with a new track that hits a bristling post-punk streak of frenetic drums and some fine yelping from bassist Lindsay O’Connell. The guitar sweeps over the songs in washes of hazy distortion, punctuated by interjecting dotted notes. Great energy and a dynamic arrangement on this song that deals with the often crippling onset of anxiety. “We’re aiming to … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Raave Tapes – Stabs
NEW MUSIC: Brother Sports – Put Out The Fires
Brother Sports (Austin, TX) have digitally released their new single ‘Put Out The Fires’ and it’s a delight of sparkling guitars and nonchalant vocals that recall both The Strokes and and lower-fi version of Real Estate. There’s the requisite jangle and wobble in the guitar sound but they also cast a gauzy layer over the song that gives the music a gritty shimmer. Good stuff. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Brother Sports – Put Out The Fires
NEW MUSIC: OVER – Mostly Plants
OVER are two guys (Brett Paulin, Dan Workman) from Toronto, Canada who peg their sound as psychedelic digital shoegaze and it’s a pretty spot on description when you listen to this track ‘Mostly Plants’. It swirls, billows and decays across the sonic spectrum. There are vocals but they’re nestled just below the surface, partially submerged and it’s often hard to make out the lyrics. It matters … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: OVER – Mostly Plants
NEW MUSIC: Earth – Cats On The Briar

The great news this morning is that a brand new album, Full Upon Her Burning Lips is set for release on May 24th. Earth are Dylan Carlson on guitar and bass and Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion, Here’s the first taste of the album with the track … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Earth – Cats On The Briar
NEW MUSIC: Wild Wild Wets – Now Wow
We’ve been coming across a few new psych acts of late and this track by San Diego group Wild Wild Wets is one that caught our ears. ‘Now Wow’ rides a laidback rhythm with rolling bass and some widescreen guitar that bends and distorts through melodic squalls. Singer Mike Turi has one of those dark voices that recalls Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Verve with his … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Wild Wild Wets – Now Wow
NEW MUSIC: Black Camaro – Out In The Rain
This track from Las Vegas quintet Black Camaro kicks off with a mean streak of post-punk, tumbling and angular rhythms courtesy of a great bass-line. Things straighten up after that – more melodies, ringing guitars and atmosphere enters the fray. It’s knotty, dynamic and burns a hole in your synapses with its blend of dark vibes and the lighter elements courtesy of the guitar and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Black Camaro – Out In The Rain
