ÖLÜM taps directly into the rhythmic intensity of Turkish prog at its peak. “Yılan Kadın (Snake Woman)” is a fevered vision of psychedelic reverie. Driven by bass, lacquered with farfisa, and flayed with riffs that would make Koray proud, the new single is the band’s best yet. bit.ly/4wWZcyY

The Grebes' downer psych nuggets are dubbed and re-dubbed until they land in the hands of warehouse-worn Northwest ‘90s Flexi freaks and Midwest Hüsker-hounded demo merchants. It’s the kind of perfect storm of a record that’s bound to haunt crate-dusted diggers some years from now. bit.ly/3T3zV7v

A double dose of Hidden Gems today. Both Trevor and Joe from RSTB faves Styrofoam Winos offer up picks. From private press treasures to Buddah curiosities, there’s something for everyone to love. bit.ly/3T3zV7v

Laid to loom on the live stage, but this isn’t just a mere taper’s dream. The band has augmented the memories, slipped the seance back into the studio and layered and re-layered new realities on top of the tapes. A woven tapestry that nudges the listener deeper into the froth. bit.ly/4wFM68T

New single from RSTB faves Real Numbers. The band lets loose a second cut from their upcoming new album, Was It Always This Way. Jangling like a lost Sarah classic, the song lands on the softer side of indie pop, nipping at Field Mice and St Christopher, eyeing Brighter in the corner bit.ly/4aWIZRM

The International Association formed to tour the album bearing their name. Their first tryst to tape is a great reminder of the excellent ensemble Dooley brought together. The band releases an exploratory track, a seance at the seams of prog, jazz, & psych; awash in the cosmic crush. bit.ly/44Zwz88

Over the 80-grit riffs Ultra Lights wind up nostalgia’s easy pull, spar with gut feelings & bad omens. The band’s got a penchant for twisting choruses into barbed wire, turning knife-sharp nihilism into a coping mechanism that cuts first before the world can draw its bounty of blood. bit.ly/4voDl1S

Sick Gazelle finds its footing between post-rock, jazz, & a smeared glaze of shoegaze. “Hippies” is an outlier though. The cut’s got a rush of post-punk in its veins, letting Shelley’s propulsive beat underpin squalls of sax & obscured vocals, coming on like Mi Ami doing Can covers. bit.ly/3QPBfdv

Edena Gardens unveil the first track from a massive, 79+ minute new album that finds them exploring the boundaries of their sound. “Earth Blemish,” unfolds slowly, a meditative missive that leans into the band’s sinewy guitar play and their cosmic acumen. bit.ly/4gwqlnq

The Hanging Stars back down a bit of the blur, stripping away some of the psychedelic cocoon that’s ensconced their county and folk over the last few albums. The record is a curio cabinet of wonders, a collection of gems that shine and shimmer under their keen instincts. bit.ly/4paj1jk

The Hanging Stars back down a bit of the blur, stripping away some of the psychedelic cocoon that’s ensconced their county and folk over the last few albums. The record is a curio cabinet of wonders, a collection of gems that shine and shimmer under their keen instincts. bit.ly/4paj1jk

RSTB favorites Prison pull back the curtain on the other half of their upcoming album, Big Rigs on the BQE. “Sunset Park” gets a bite-sized video treatment, a quick whiff of the side-long stunner that adorns the second half of the band’s new album. bit.ly/3SNNckA

The TSG lobs a pop grenade into the ball pit, scattering chords & colors across the horizon. Barely tied down with the bounds of indie pop, the 3 songs that make up “Skydiver” are singed by punk’s heat, bolstered by power pop, & irradiated by the legacies of indie rock’s best years. bit.ly/44dDXwr

“Oh Boy!” is a jangled jolt of joy. Josie anchors the cut to a cradle of bass, tangled guitars and volleyed vocals over the top. Saturated in sun, sweetly stung by summer breezes, the cut sits top the A-side of a new 7” that’s begging for repeat listens. bit.ly/4vhD0OD

Allah-las latest feels like a kindred spirit to their work on the surf comp Self Discovery for Social Survival. “Pt. Conception” choogles with a little JJ in its jowls but swaps country air for surf n’ salt at every turn. Just the right kind of song to beat the heat this week. bit.ly/4wdq4dm

Ethan Miller expands the scoop of his project The Odyssey Cult, started with fellow-Comets alum Ben Flashman. The first single is a lightning strike of psych singed in the fire of Miller’s guitars, set soaring on Taibi’s keys, and cooled in the humid hum of Showalter’s gauzy vocals. bit.ly/4v4AzPh

”High Tide” brings The Bures Band’s woven harmonies and breeze-bolstered guitars to the speakers, digging deep into the ‘70s strains of Taos, Help Yourself, Sand, and the more malleable end of the Byrds. bit.ly/4eOKlz2

There’s something worn & wonderful about the band’s sound. You can find the unraveled threads of Young Marble Giants, TVP, Marine Girls, and Lou with & without VU. The Hobknobs prove that a brilliant hook, a steadfast resolve, & undeniable chemistry outstrip pop varnish anytime. bit.ly/4wAvVtN

Cracking one more into the cosmic ether today, the debut from new outfit Giraffe comes with some deep psych-jazz cred attached, including Dave Harrington & Spencer Zahn. There’s something neon, oil-slick & sweat stained about “Catastrophe Music,” a perfect introduction to the new band bit.ly/4oNiljH

Following Britpop turns from GUV this year, the latest dip into the Brit-boiled edges of the ‘90s comes from Brooklyn band Diary. Pairing baggy rhythm with smeared grooves, the band stretches from The Roses & Mondays through shades of The Charlatans. bit.ly/4oWSvtN

“Three Pines” wanders further into the woods than Woodwose’s first, lacing the intro with flutes, fuzz guitars and the pair’s haunting vocals. Scarred by smoke and singed with a seance air that clears slightly as the song slips into its second half, the song builds to a rhythmic pound bit.ly/4f044No

Built around Jeffrey’s penchant for deep-seated groove and his gravel-deep gravitas; the new song lays hammock deep in the daze of summer’s heat. Patience meets perspiration on “Out of Tune” rolling down the back with a sweat-deep swagger that dips country’s kick in stickiness bit.ly/4xOV8Sk

The synth strains that saturated the last Maya Ongaku LP have floated away. A soft shuffle of percussion undercuts the band’s rainy day soul glow. Keys ring around the listener, vying for space in the meditative jazz chamber with flutes, sax, bells, bass, & the band’s humid vocals. bit.ly/4g334cy

The Tubs slipped the news that they’d signed to Merge with an unlikely cover of Metallica earlier in the Spring and they seal the announcement with word of a new album today for the label and a new single that’s dipped in their trademark jangle n’ jostle. bit.ly/4oHmJkh

The album holds onto the kind of ‘70s eclecticism that made Bo Hansson a Hobbit’s dream, Keith Emerson a household name, and Rick Wakeman the reason that bedroom walls were dressed deep in Roger Dean dreams. It’s a pop-up book fantasy that hooks the listener in immediately. bit.ly/4b2GFZe

Drain doesn’t entirely pack away the punishment that came with Heavenly, picking apart the listener in layers rather than obliterating them from the outset. An intricate journey of tension & torsion, constantly working to wrestle with its love for beauty & its need for destruction. bit.ly/4oFUhPZ

Nick Mitchel Maiato (One Eleven Heavy) is back this week with a new solo album on the way at the end of the summer. The record kicks into view with new single “Critical Mass,” a Cosmic American shakedown that’s bolstered by an opening organ salvo by Grateful Dead midi-tech Bob Bralove bit.ly/4uRIob7

Ned Collette’s latest brushes faintly through the furrowed territory of Cohen & Oldham. The single is a slowly building bloom that’s bolstered with guest vocals from Leah Senior. Atop atmospheric piano & a whisper of keys, the new song sidles through the speakers with a weighty grace bit.ly/4vnhJEf

Ensconced in Ramos’ pillow-soft cloud of hiss, the quiet amble of title track “Faithless” wraps around the listener, a loving lament that’s full of the kind of restrained pining and patient dynamics that drove Les Rallizes Dénudés and Shizuka, both of which serve as inspirations here. bit.ly/4ePgSpI

Threaded with the band’s post-punk pounce, “Have A Heart” pairs a rubberized bass line with strums that gain increasing tendencies towards noise. The song bursts through in the second half, scratching at the speakers with din & damage before buttoning it back up to bounce out of sight bit.ly/4uHYFPA

The Mellons create a pop-up book of an album that unfolds into bright swirls, dazzling details, & clockwork touches that deepen with each new listen. It's a kaleidoscopic undertaking rendered in soaring arrangements & layered harmonies. Don’t sleep on the sunshine sons of SLC. bit.ly/4uNKqJk

Jeffrey Alexander digs into another Vortex Records treasure, exploring the '68 debut from Steve Marcus. The record takes an exploratory jazz look at '60s staples from The Byrds to The Beatles & Donnovan. Feat members of The Free Spirits including Larry Coryell, Chris Hills & Bob Moses bit.ly/4vhFnlp

Formed among the sunset hues of a seaside town, a community also beset by wealth disparity & gentrification, Pt Roadknight deals in duality. Strains of Drake/Perhacs stillness brush against Fairport embellishments, lofting Senior’s sterling songs like brightly colored kites on wind bit.ly/3SLwli0

A serrated salvo is let loose today from Raleigh’s RIBS. “Not A Boogie” launches itself onto the speakers without reservation, holding nothing in check and nothing hidden from view. Speak-sung vocals balance the band’s diesel-drunk engine of rhythm, a post-punk powerhouse for 2026. bit.ly/3Qkl4EJ

Fuses prove adept at building atmospheric marvels; doused in organ, wrapped tight in strums, & constantly cocooned in their vocal interplay. Eschewing one particular era gives the record it’s timeless sway, set drifting between influences that overlap one another in linen-light layers bit.ly/3S8Bgti

Styrofoam Winos find strength in malleability and sharpen their charms through a constant sense of adventurousness. The band balances tenderness and vulnerability, with a kind of crimped choogle. It’s another lovely album in their collection and one of 2026’s brilliantly buffed gems. bit.ly/4xq1ibH

Sluicing through the arms of ambient country, psych, & kosmiche, Prairiewolf trickles a little ice water into the veins of the American West. “Burning Edges” skips around the headphones with an early morning ambience, doused in dub’s humid edges & fit nicely with a sun flare of guitar bit.ly/4awo2wC

Just about mid-year and it’s time to take stock on the past few months. 2026 may be trying in every other sense, but the musical offerings have been plentiful and excellent. Here’s a look at the favorites that have spent the most time on my speakers. bit.ly/440stft

Just about mid-year and it’s time to take stock on the past few months. 2026 may be trying in every other sense, but the musical offerings have been plentiful and excellent. Here’s a look at the favorites that have spent the most time on my speakers. bit.ly/440stft

The band's latest churns funk, jazz, post-rock, & dub into a concoction that could only be called BASIC. Lock-step patter mixes with distorted loops of flute, guitars glide between Turareg stabs, heat-warp wobble, & strident funk, while a low-end thrum reverberates through the marrow bit.ly/4ghKyNk

Saapato turns the temperature down even as the sun starts to climb higher in the sky. There’s a dampness to Seasons turn Like Pages, a humidity. Keys float in the air, thick & sonorous, constantly churning the currents of calm, tracing the rain down the face & the sweat down the neck. bit.ly/3RZMS1A

Tune in tonight from 8-10 pm on WGXC for the latest edition of Crawl about From the Fallout with RSTB. A Guaranteed way to beat the heat with a block of new favorites from the site wavefarm.org/wf/archive/5...

Horse Lords hurtle the listener into geometric space, surrounding them in a sonic whirlpool that hits like a force of nature. Out of the minimalist maelstrom we’re washed clean; rock-tumbled & turned loose to try to walk again after adjusting to the sea legs of their rhythmic sway. bit.ly/3S1ivI4

Black Duck's on stage kinship with Setién led to a collaborative new album. “Land of Many Eyes” slips quietly onto the speakers, but doesn’t linger lightly. The band cradles Elena’s smoke & sequin vocals, creating a velveteen presence that pads through the air with a feline grace. bit.ly/4vBCxHF

A big and boisterous new single singes the speakers today from longtime favorite Ty Segall. “Black Paint” bounds into view on big pop choruses and dose of fuzz rumble. A perfect storm of froth, fury, and feedback, the new cut slides right into the Segall canon with the best of ‘em. bit.ly/4dZ7PT1

An LP rolled in tumult & tension, pairing Joyner's morning light laments with a more acerbic tack, listing into VU volatility & rhythmic grist. The record wrestles with unfinished business & unresolved worries, but ultimately it comes to a sort of peace, though by no means an easy one bit.ly/4ebyj2e

Fra Det Onde's latest lets shades of Miles, Cherry, Can, and Gong curdle in the sun and seep into the stylus. Even within the excerpt of the full freakout, the listener is torn and twisted, ready to gnaw at the roots of jazz, psych, and the outer layers of the kosmiche cavalcade. bit.ly/4aybeFW
