Playlists // Sounds Like…Skyjelly! Vol. 1

Anyone remember last.fm? The site may not be a super-popular destination was, but its still up and running after all these years. More importantly, it offers playlist options that yours truly couldn’t help tampering with.

The results are in this 15-track playlist below – we’re celebrating all things Skyjelly! Deluxe Edition of Spirit Guide is out now via IHN, Mahorka (Bulgaria) and Worrmhole World (UK). Here’s what Merry-Go-Round Mag and Jay Bracho had to say about it

There’s something to be said for a sense of mystery, or at least an unwillingness to reveal everything on the internet. Skyjelly does have some online presence—a website, a Facebook page, even a Twitter account. But details—names, biographical information, mission statements, manifestos, merch—are scarce. A profile on Rate Your Music lists four people in the group, but videos elsewhere show a duo: the same bespectacled man on guitar and vox (presumably “Skyjelly Jones”), and a drummer—a different drummer in each video, one behind a small kit, the other playing bongos with sticks. Skyjelly’s music is just as cryptic—the band’s Bandcamp profile says it’s from Boston, but it could just as well hail from Philadelphia, Turkmenistan or the moon.

We got about 4 physical copies of Spirit Guide left in our vaults, so act fast before its all gone! Now, without further ado…
