Centripetal Force with another album that features pedal steel? I’m shocked.

👀 👀 👀

Simmering psychedelic steel. Heck yeah

‘To Heart, To Earth’ is the new album from The Far Sound, a project founded by Rick Pedrosa (Abronia, Federale etc) The first reveal from the new album is “Let Warmth Turn Inward” - a track perfectly suited for this season of shifting colors and extended golden hours. thefarsound.bandcamp.com

Happy Release Day to Wonderful Aspiration of the Source! It’s an honor to present this album to the world. I was lucky enough to witness this project as it was getting off the ground before I moved from Nashville. And here we are. The full vision. wonderfulaspirationofthesource.bandcamp.com

Partisan’s Folly is the second reveal from the forthcoming album from Jon Camp, titled Proceed. The album is up for pre-order right now over on the Bandcamp. And Jon will be hitting the road out in the Midwest very soon. If he’s in your town, check him out! Joncamp.bandcamp.com

the original 3-hour long version of Compleat Trancing Master by the Dire Wolves Just Exactly Perfect Sisters Band is now available as a subscriber-exclusive download. First released five years ago this week (!) and later re-issued on @centripetalforce.bsky.social as a shortened version on two tapes

Thanks to everyone who checked out the Bandcamp listening party last night. What’s this album all about? Check out the link below!

Bandcamp Friday is upon us, and the sounds of autumn are approaching. To join in on both happenings, Centripetal Force is offering a vinyl bundle of this fall's first two releases, Jon Camp's 'Proceed' and the debut from Wonderful Aspiration of the Source. centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com

The second reveal from Wonderful Aspiration of the Source is a track titled “Deer Park.” It’s a song in which space speaks as powerfully as the notes themselves. Michael’s playing is delicate - but somehow also powerfully intense. “Deer Park” is currently streaming wherever you get your music. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Congrats to @thewiremagazine.bsky.social on their 500th issue. We look forward to 500 more. And thank you for your coverage of independent music and kind words for the forthcoming Wonderful Aspiration of the Source album. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 @michaelhix.bsky.social

This Friday evening! August 29th. At the First Presbyterian Church in Oakland. It’s Nate Mercereau (Andre 3000, Carlos Niño and Friends) and Luke Schneider AND Heavy Arts Ensemble. Come on out! 7pm doors. 7:30 show. www.eventbrite.com/e/nate-merce...

Another one for Andy’s greatest lines: “yearning steel sighs”

I’m delighted to announce my new album, Proceed, out Oct 17 through @centripetalforce.bsky.social. It’s an electric, full-band affair, available now available for pre-order via vinyl, CD, and digital. joncamp.bandcamp.com/album/proceed

“Kerosene Goodbye” is the 1st track to be revealed from Jon Camp’s forthcoming album, Proceed. The song title is a nod to Jon’s father and his move into the age of electricity in Iowa in the early 1940s. Proceed comes out Oct 17. Available now for preorder on vinyl / CD. joncamp.bandcamp.com

Test Press Tuesday! Any guesses? It’s this artist’s second release w/ the label. A fellow vegan and animal welfare activist. Album out in October. #disparatesoundsfordisparatepeople

Heading east to join Prairiewolf in Brooklyn and Kingston!

Oh my word! This album is phenomenal: sophomorelounge.bandcamp.com/album/ryan-d...

Disparate sounds for desperate times. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Heck yeah!!! Super psyched to be announcing …. Centripetal Force and Optical Sound Experience are excited to present an evening of deep music at the First Presbyterian Church of Oakland. August 29th! www.eventbrite.com/e/nate-merce...

You have a variety of choices when it comes to guitar music. I recommend this one. Michael’s deft handling of the B-bender is impressive. And unique. Rooted in Nashville’s past and taking it into the future. ✌🏼 weownthistown.net/reviews/wond...

Michael Hix and the Nashville Ambient Ensemble helped shape the direction of the label, and I am thrilled to announce this new project, Wonderful Aspiration of the Source. Preorders are up today. “Cadence” is streaming. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 wonderfulaspirationofthesource.bandcamp.com

👀 👀 👀

@eiderdownrecords.bsky.social ... Get yourself out to Brooklyn, Kingston, and Philly next month! I'll be at the first two.

Heck yeah! 😜

Got some here! Are you in the UK, @folkpolice.com ?

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

John Whitson of Holy Mountain records has passed. It’s a void in a world increasingly hostile towards independent arts. May his legacy not only be what he accomplished while on this mortal coil - may it also manifest in the way we all move forward in life. Rest easy, John. Thanks for the tunes. ✌🏼✌🏼

SLOW DAWN - SONIC DEATH FLOW There’s not a single feel good hit of the summer on this album. And that’s by design. It’s fuzz fueled angst for this angst fueled summer. Brought to you by Centripetal Force, Cardinal Fuzz, and Psychic Handshake. centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com

Lots of wonderful humans playing the early sounds of summer. This Sunday at @mamatriedbk.bsky.social @dasroyalarctic.bsky.social

And EVERYWHERE else!

Get 'em while they're hot!

Dark. Dystopian. Raw. And blistering. An outlet for all of your 2025 angst. Sonic Death Flow. The new album from Slow Dawn is here. It’s up for preorder (spoiler alert… they’re shipping now), and there’s a track and video you can check out! thirdeyepsychrock.blog/2025/06/06/v...

A great collection of music to consider on this NOT Bandcamp Friday. 😉

This event next week is going to be absolutely sublime. And it’s one of those rare and wonderful occasions where my world of music (@somakirtan.bsky.social) intersects with my wife’s world of spiritual interests and divine femininity (as she is a long time admirer of Kim Krans). 1/2 ➡️

“This self-titled album provides a superb soundtrack for getting lost in one’s own thoughts.” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 @dusted.bsky.social www.tumblr.com/dustedmagazi...

The new album from @golddust.bandcamp.com is out now and available from CentripetalForce on CD. It comes with a 28 page booklet/zine that outlines the lyrical themes, some New England folklore, and the inspiration that went behind these recording sessions. Slow drive summer jamz. Heck yeah. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Been out of commission for the last few days due to some surgery, but it has allowed me to catch up with the unplayed acquisitions in the “now playing” pile: 1/5 ➡️

I enjoy microgenre music. I have my entire life. In fact, there are microgenres, that I am still waiting for, meditative cajun drone, for example.

The label has taken on many directions over the years. Feels good to get back to some bare bones fuzzed out mayhem. Stay tuned. Causing good trouble on this one with Cardinal Fuzz and Psychic Handshake Records. #disparatesoundsfordisparatepeople

Prairiewolf migrates east this summer, from the prairie to the valley. See you there?

Argh.

My bowels wobble at the mere mention of this show))) Also, eleven dollars. The good ol’ daze.

Mid to late June means warm days and a long sun. It also means Luke Schneider and Pure Waves are hitting the road next month, spreading their good vibes up the east coast, into New England (go to the Easthampton show for me), and beyond. More info about venues and times forthcoming. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

Prairiewolf and Trummors this weekend! Swoooooon. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

TRUTH

Heck yeah! "Read a short story, listen to an album undistracted by the technology that always seems to have us multi-tasking, enjoy this wonderful constructed, self-titled offering. You won’t regret it." prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/07/t...

“Germs Burn” is the latest reveal from the forthcoming @golddust.bandcamp.com album, releasing next week. The first two Gold Dust albums were predominantly Stephen Pierce solo efforts. This new material is a collaborative band effort, and the move is proving to be quite rewarding.

Grip the new Royal Arctic Institute record … the east coast cosmic country OGs!

Thank you @thebradcohan.bsky.social and @treblezine.bsky.social for spreading the good word of @dasroyalarctic.bsky.social! www.treblezine.com/best-new-rel...
