Had to sweat it out a bit in the sauna-like studio to bring you this episode of the podcast. It felt sort of cleansing though to work through these conditions in order to share a large batch of amazing music that has been occupying every spare minute and every playback device I’ve had access to over the past three weeks. Of the new music in the bunch, I can’t say enough good things about the jangly guitar pop of Human Music, the micro-textural sound environments of crys cole, the zoned-out loner moves of Syko Friend, the otherworldly instrumentals of The Garment District, and the multi-genre behemoth of a compilation from Metaphysical Circuits. There are also a few reissue/archival releases scattered throughout that I’d encourage you to set aside your coffee/beer/drug money for a change and purchase these right away. I’m talking about the bizarro antics of the It’s War Boys-affiliated Amos & Crew, the all-over-the-map DIY brilliance of Pig Rider, and the not-so-loner folk sounds of Joshua Burkett. Trust me, you’ll be much better off having these albums in your life. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Hope you enjoy this episode.
