rec of the day RED STUFF s/t (skell LP) latest album by tom & kelly wanderer's trio mixes their folky origins w/ raw-ass garage pumice, employing a sweet cover of "candy says" for leavening. wanderer remains an obscure figure. but it's really time to change that redstuff.bandcamp.com/album/red-st...

rec of the day: KOMOS COWBOYS s/t (Daksina LP) like most daksina titles, this is a sprawler & a good 'un. pat murano & nicholas merz (new orthodox) use diff sorts of electric guitars to set up shivering, pulsing statues of sweet smoke, as abstract as a sand dune decimus.bandcamp.com/album/komos-...

rec of the day II RUTH PARKER "otherwise occupied" (flippin' yeah LP) bewitchingly straight forward solo folk album from melbourne. the music is unadorned (apart from the dylanoid harp bits) w/ an easy, intimate vibe that is quiet & surprisingly original ruthparker.bandcamp.com/album/otherw...

Otherwise Occupied, by Ruth Parker11 track albumruthparker.bandcamp.com

rec of the day DIETRICHS "live bahdu" (relative pitch CD) ace set by don & camille dietrich's post-borbetomagus duo. the sax is a screaming wall of sound, which the cello attempts to swallow. wild & brilliant mix w/ a few quiet passages stirred in. relativepitchrecords.bandcamp.com/album/live-b...

WATER DAMAGE "live at le guess who?" (12XU LP) another superb alb, recorded live with guests, by this loudly blissed-out texas-based eterno-dream-rock ensemble. in the words of thomas pynchon, "a screaming comes across the sky." cardinal fuzz in the uk. waterdamage12xu.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

rec of the day II CIA DEBUTANTE "trespass" (siltbreeze LP) best yet by this french duo whose sound is a lot like something creepily stentorian from the early '80s, but has nothing to really timedate it. a gorgeous post-industrial mix of gtr/voice/electronics. siltbreeze.bandcamp.com/album/cia-de...

rec of the day FULL SIZE "plays the song" (open mouth/3 lobed LP) worth trying to track down document of a great live set in NC. philly all-stars playing a VU-meets-Rhys Chatham one chord throwdown for the ages. somebody should press more of this. fast. openmouthrecords.bandcamp.com/album/full-s...

rec of the day III STEPHEN COGLE/PETER STAPLETON "an afternoon with victor dimisich" (siltbreeze LP) achingly beautiful, stripped down versions of VDB's tunes, captured live as the pin group was revving up. vibes like reed's recordings at the robinsons's apt siltbreeze.bandcamp.com/album/stephe...

rec of the day HEAVY MOTHER II s/t (total punk LP) thud-psych aside to eddie flowers' last band. more avant-garagoid due to the presence of joe chamandy & craig bell, they pound out beautiful blurt-raunch. not one for the dainty but a slow burn winner. totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/s-t-lp-4

rec of the day LIMBO DISTRICT "carnivalive" (chunklet LP) henry owings' project to revive the legend of this no-wave-adjacent post-punk combo from athens finishes up w/a lovely, skunkily percussive set that shoulda blown minds back in '82, but didn't get heard. chunklet.bandcamp.com/album/carniv...

rec of the day II: SCISSOR FITS "it wasn't nothing" (minimum table stacks LP) superb comp of the 2 '79 7"s + live tracks by this uk combo. strong whiffs of treacy/ball construction w/ bonzo-like touches. i had always filed them in my head as mopers. wrong! scissorfits.bandcamp.com/album/it-was...

rec of the day VIA s/t (Dromedary LP) 6 songs by a short-lived band led thalia zedek after the end of uzi, just as she was starting work w/ live skull. blazing gtr by her & pre-cell jerry direnzo, gives this a raw, crazed early television feel. insanely good. dromedaryrecords.bandcamp.com/album/via

rec of the day GIRL TROUBLE "as is" (k LP) been 33 years since their last LP & this pre-grunge Tacoma quartet returns w/ its original line-up & the same charmed/whacked take on garage rock in its most basic & teenaged form. what a goddamn pleasure to behear. girltrouble.bandcamp.com/album/as-is-...

rec of the day II RUMP STATE "psychic sidekick" (12XU LP) just played this 3 times straight & it's not enough. wildly whacked 2nd LP by guitarist Mark Morgan (Sightings) & euro voice nut Gaute Granli. total insanity, in the most pleasant way possible. rumpstate12xu.bandcamp.com/album/psychi...

rec of the day HONEY RADAR "reclining psych-out" (honey radar MLP) yet another brilliant slab of avant-pop/psych invention from the great jason henn. this one's almost like a weird rumination-cycle about the existential implications of sunshine pop. honeyradar.bandcamp.com/album/reclin...
