New and upcoming…Albums, Singles, EPs
Gabriella Isaac – Automatic Thoughts (Unsilent Desert Press) / tape+zine+digital // so much fun, exploratory sound & computer destruction (h/t Ryan Wade Ruehlen)
CREDENTIALS – Why is my arm not a lilac tree? (Orb Tapes) (h/t FTAM)
Kung Pao – #SLUDGE (Hollow Point One) (h/t T2,000,000)
Regas-McDonald – Hall of Fame Cities (Voltage Control Records) / At only six songs, Hall of Fame Cities isn’t what I’d call an easy listen. Then again, neither was their debut, 2020’s Toward Void & Vistas, which I actually enjoyed more than the new one (reminds me of Royal Trux, which is indeed a compliment) – Colin’s Review
The Home Current – A Tribute to Hip Hop / I’ve just completed a tribute to old school hip hop, which has been part of my musical fabric, since I was a teenager. It consists of 7 tracks featuring the acappellas of a few of the legendary rappers from back then – and it’s absolutely free
Amanda Chaudhary – Meow Meow Band / aka Catsynth / New musical directions from composer and keyboardist Amanda Chaudhary. Known for her many collaborations over the years, including Nubdug Ensemble, Vacuum Tree Head, Surplus 1980, Pitta of the Mind, and Reconnaissance Fly, this album showcases the electro-jazz-funk sound of Amanda’s personality (h/t Dan Kletter)
L’Eclair – Confusions (Disques Bongo Joe) / an irresistible mix of library funk, Krautrock, house rhythms, psychedelia, & more; best album yet from this Swiss septet – Bill Barnett
Spacelab – Dead Dimension (Hream Recordings) / For all of the post-humans and other animals, we bring you Dead Dimension
The Grease Traps – Solid Ground (Record Kicks) / psychedelic soul & deep funk from Oakland
Binaural Space – Velvet Freedom
