@tidal includes the latest from @florrymusicband in their Playlisters' A-Listers Vol. 1 roundup!
Irresistible slacker anthem from Philly’s Florry. “First it was a movie, then it was a book” explores a landscape similar to Kurt Vile and MJ Lenderman, with a hint of free-spirited Southern groove and endless late-night, country-rock jam spirit. Full album drops in May. - Bjørn Hammershaug // @dearliferecs

"The album’s musical influences draw upon the many Brazilian legends (including Marcos Valle, Azymuth and João Donato) and other international artists (including Ghanian guitarist Ebo Taylor and late Nigerian drummer Tony Allen) he’s recorded and performed live with via Jazz Is Dead."

On "The Gate" ..."Lindsey Verrill gets vulnerable and powerful from the first moment — “I built a a gate for my grief to go freely/ I’m not meant to contain wild horses” — and the song continues to softly pummel you from there." @stereogum on the new single from Austin's @littlemazarn!

Fingerstyle guitar maestro @thebookofeliw Eli Wint

Fingerstyle guitar maestro @thebookofeliw Eli Winter first promoted his new album A Trick Of The Light with the surprisingly rocking single “Cracking The Jaw.” Now he’s getting you to pay attention to “For A Fallen Rocket” by letting it soundtrack a pretty fun low-budget music video. - @stereogum // @3lobed

New video out today from @florrymusicband!
Who’s ready for a seven-minute indie roots-rock ramble? “First It Was A Movie, Then It Was A Book” is the opening track from Florry’s recently announced Sounds Like…, and what an introduction it makes. The song surges along through waves of pedal-steel-fried Southern guitar rock, breaking away from the jam session occasionally for some revved-up Francie Medosch vocals. - @stereogum // @dearliferecs

“Hey Baby” chews on regrets, dragging its frayed hooks over the coals while Medosch laments the inability to turn back time, looking to reset moments when words have failed and opportunities were lost. @ravensingstheblues shares the new single from @florrymusicband! 'Sounds like...' arrives 5/23 via @dearliferecs

We Are Time prove fertile ground for post-punk once again. Following favorite releases by Motorists, Body Breaks, and label head Chandra, the band hooks into the debut from NYC’s Consumables. Infinite Games nabs some of the acerbic grit of the ‘70s set while keeping things malleable, shaking off some of the decade’s more brittle aesthetics. @ravensingstheblues on the debut from NYC's @consumables.bk

@sarahbellereid & Vinny Golia 's Accidental Ornithology receives Bandcamp's Best Experimental accolades🔥🪩

"Tweeting at each other with pointed sounds and rattling improvisations, the pair pull out all the stops (they’re credited together with 11 instruments) to create joyful explorations of flapping wings and fluttering voices. It all courses with serious ideas, and the playing is patient and thoughtful."
