From Muriel Grossman’s Bandcamp site: “On the surface, Tyner and the Dead appear to come from different galaxies. But listen deeply, and it becomes clear: they were orbiting the same planet. Tyner’s playing was all about shape. He built modal infrastructure—riffs and voicings sturdy enough to ground the music, malleable Continue Reading

SUNN O))) – sunn O))) (SP1685)
SUNN O))) will have a new album available on April 3, 2026. There is only one track available to sample, but if this is an indication of what the whole album will be like, it will make for brutal listening. I’m looking forward to it, though I have a feeling Continue Reading
Love Sea Sick – Sciócaz
As far as I can tell, Love Sea Sick is a Belgian band that offers noise rock in the vein of bands I love, such as Fushitsusha and Keiji Haino’s mid-period work. The guitar roars are loud yet controlled. There is a tension throughout the album that keeps you from losing interest. Well done, though not Continue Reading
SONS OF ZÖKU – Ëndlëss
For those of you who are fans of bands like Khruangbin, you will certainly enjoy Sons of Zöku, a band that hails from Australia. There are far more vocals here, but that funky, nearly Afrobeat-ish pulse underneath and the psychedelic vibe make this fine listening.

Common Dream – Bats / Dags

The Cult Of Dom Keller – The Cult Of Dom Keller
If you pine for the days of the legendary Spacemen 3, perhaps The Cult Of Dom Keller might be your fix.
Billy Tsounis – Pregnant Man Blues
My old friend, the near-legendary freak-psych guitarist Billy Tsounis, has a new album. From his Bandcamp site: “Pregnant Man Blues is the latest transmission from Billy Tsounis and The Amazing Androids, a band that lives where psychedelic rock, cosmic blues, and surreal sci-fi textures intersect. Entirely instrumental, the record plays Continue Reading
