Steve Gunn Announces New Album 'Music for Writers'

Steve Gunn Announces New Album 'Music for Writers' arriving 8/15 on @threelobed // Shares New Song “Slow Singers on the Hill” // Listen over at @pitchfork!

"With all the monsters, metal, and muscular groove

"With all the monsters, metal, and muscular grooves floating around the Budos universe, it’s a bit of a shock to uncover an abiding passion for the wispy, unplugged sounds of modern-day psych-folk within the band. But when Greene begins running down some of his most immediate ear magnets, that’s exactly what dominates his list." Check out @budosband's Bandcamp Favorites! Their latest album VII is out now ⚡️ @bandcamp

Peter Gill (@2ndgradephilly) released his debut solo album Redness and Swelling at the Injection Site this past Friday!

"The debut record he’s issuing as WPTR contains 18 short musical vignettes documenting Gill’s observations of nature, animals and human behavior. The bedroom recordings are so fragile and quiet that they make Daniel Johnston’s material sound hi-fi in comparison. It’s a thing of beauty, how Gill conveys his musings so delicately that, by the end of the 27-minute record, the listener inevitably views their surroundings with sensitivity as well. Three cheers for osmosis—oh, and Gill’s tender touch too." @treblezine @kurtorzeck

"Though the indie side shines at the get-go, it only serves as this kindling, kind of lighting the fire that burns through the various sounds on the tune" @austintownhall

Hear Dom Salvador, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad - "Não Podermos O Amar Para" @remezcla
"On “Não Podermos O Amar Para,” the beats sound crispy yet fit within bossa nova tradition, while its jazzy bassline keeps things moving, and lively, slightly psychedelic arrangements give the track a different dimension. Meanwhile, vocal harmonies lift the track up into the stratosphere, pushed further into heavenly realms by flute and wah-wah guitars."

"Eli Winter might not be pulling back the curtain

"Eli Winter might not be pulling back the curtain on everything with his new LP, but he presents a more complete picture of his art’s diversity." @popmatters reviews the new album from @thebookofeliw 'A Trick of the Light' out now on @3lobed ✨ 8/10 https://www.popmatters.com/eli-winter-trick-of-light

@passionweiss Adrian Spinelli features Hyldon and his favorite records! @jazzisdead

"Originally from Salvador, Bahia, Hyldon became a fixture in the late ’60s and ’70s rise of Black music in Rio de Janeiro, where he wrote and recorded alongside Tim Maia (widely considered as the most influential figure in Brazilian soul). As a producer for PolyGram in the early 1970s, he made Azymuth his go-to session band, effectively lighting the torch for the pivotal jazz-funk trio’s prolific career. Hyldon’s hands are all over the building blocks of the careers of these artists, who are revered as true prestige Brazilian acts by record collectors and tastemakers far and wide."

@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

Head over to @variety and read about Adriane Young's album 'Something About April III' via @jazzisdead

"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 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

Out today!! 🔮 @lelandandthesilverwells

“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!

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."
