Can’t say I ever had “tangental reformation of The Ooga Boogas” on my list of probabilities for 2021, but here we are staring at the debut from Power Supply, an album that’s…
Seems almost backwards that the real introduction to Jeffrey Alexander’s Heavy Lidders this year has been the eponymous LP. While it’s an amazing album that bends the band in eclectic directions, devouring…
I honestly can’t get enough of this debut from Chime School, the solo outfit from Francisco musician Andy Pastalaniec (Seablite, Pink Films, Cruel Summer). A bit softer than the past offerings, “Wait…
Gothenburg’s Hollow Ship expand their debut album from last year, a release that was a bit overshadowed by its April release during peak pandemic last year. The album was a psych-rock ripper,…
This year’s been crammed full of essentials and surprise faves, so its getting hard to rise above the fray but the upcoming LP from Tonstartssbandht comes in as their strongest album yet,…
Following up their debut Modern Convenience with a quick shuffle in the abbreviation department to Modern Condition, Aussie trio Mod Con continues to bite down on the bare wire of punk to…

I’m nowhere near the fist to tell you that this album from Myriam Gendron should be holding court on your speakers, but to be fair, it takes a bit of time to…
Well this is a nice one to find floating around the ether. Bitchin’ Bajas have been Spaceways cartographers for sometime, but it seems now they’re mapping an original system, creating a tape…
The vapors of private press one-offs and outsider psych-folk swirl strong on the debut LP from Easthampton’s Gold Dust. The band, a moniker for Stephen Pierce (Ampere, Kindling), is a departure from…
Psych-pop snagged by propulsion is at the core of the upcoming Dummy record, but the band is by no means a one-note network of influences. The rather resplendent, and surprising pre-album release…
