Catchy psychedelic garage tunes out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The scene continues to grow in that city, and if I didnt know better, Id think Grand Rapids moved to the California coast. Surf solos and hip-shaking rhythms. Hurry up, grab your girl, and get to the dance floor for this one. The cassette drops in a week on King Pizza Records, but you can stream it below in the meantime.
Heres some fresh garage/punk/surf/psych from a trio out of Jerusalem. Danceable riffs and catchy vocals make for a solid 10 track debut from front to back. ATTN LABELS: help these dudes get this on tape/wax. For now, its only available digitally through their bandcamp.
Next up on Ongakubaka Records is the debut release from The Tailbreakers! Still riding the sonic wave of the electric 60s, the 4-piece band formed in 2014 in Toronto, Canada, delivers its audience the pioneering sounds of underground dance-to rock and roll, garage-beat and psychedelia. The Tailbreakers self-titled album recalls the vintage days of analog, live-off-the-floor recording techniques and reintroduces the listener to familiar tape hiss, slap-back echoes and reel to reels warm, all-natural compression. Stream two of the tracks below and head over to bandcamp to pre-order a copy of the limited edition red tinted cassettes. Tapes will be shipping out 9/26!
The lead single, "Electric Monkey", is available as a free download via bandcamp. Hope you enjoy, and be sure to check out the hip to trip video below!
Super digging these drugged-out beats from Tuscons The Lasso. A mix of glitch/trip hop/new weird America? Yeah, I know, it doesnt make any damn sense but it works so damn good. Imagine a mash-up of Tobacco/old Animal Collective/Flying Lotus. All over the map in the good way. Stream below and name your price via bandcamp.
