Dispatches from the Underground // February 2025 Pt. 2

New Music

Cymande – Renascence (h/t phillibe) / A true return to form and jewel in the crown of their iconic discography, Renascence picks up where their 1974 album Promised Heights left off – a spiritual and sonic follow-up, bringing a fresh modern edge to their iconic sound, which remains foundational to early hip-hop and funk scenes in the United States and UK. Renascence tells the story of a band that never fully got its due back in the day; but are back to take the crown by remaining true to themselves – politically aware, and spiritually positive with infectious grooves.

Sacco & Vanzetti – Sorry For Your Loss / Avant-garde hip-hop with rather eclectic instrumentation/sampling. Each song feels like the artists want to wake up the listener and make them understand the reality and cost of human behavior – florgoth

Hodera – Old Wounds (Lonely Ghost Records) / We’re excited to announce Hodera’s 4th LP “Old Wounds” will release on June 27 and features Nels Cline (Wilco), Ashton Prescott, Adam Duritz (Counting Crows) and Nathan Hardy (Microwave). Check out the singles now!

L.A. Witch – Doggod (Suicide Squeeze) (h/t Ezra Brooks)

John Lithium / {AN} EeL – The Dip & The Drift / I can’t even right now, just sitting here staring dumbfounded at the computer listening to this – nd dentico
