On this installment, I dig into the work of the Austin, Texas-based label, Astral Spirits.

This latest episode comes to you with a little chill in the air outside and the change of season now more of a reality here in southern Minnesota. Of course, what this means for me is an increase in layers, coffee consumption, and time spent in the FFF bunker listening to music. Fortunately, in regards…
I’ve got another installment brimming with new sounds for you this time around. I often seem to start the show with a few catchy songs, but I thought we would just melt into the earth right away on this episode and work our way back out into more song-oriented material. There’s a bunch of great…

Back at it with another jam-packed installment of the podcast show filled with a bunch of great new albums and heavy archival & reissued releases. Incredible sounds to be heard by the likes of Helm, Decimus, Blaine Todd, Sparkling Wide Press, and Matthew Revert. I’ve been especially enjoying a trio of older recordings from Amnon…
