You don’t need to make it too far into “1992” to guess where Beliefs take their influences from, but that doesn’t mean they can’t write a pretty damned good song anyways.

The guest list on the upcoming Dressy Bessy LP reads like a festival bill: members of REM, Wild Flag, Minders, Pylon, and The Polyphonic Spree… and that’s just the first three songs! “Lady Liberty” starts the album off right, with a tight slab of power pop done right.
Murals seem to have found just the right amount of nostalgia in their psychedelia, the kind that made The Clientele so revered but often inimitable. Let this one massage your brain for a few minutes.
After hearing the unfortunate news about Steve Mackay, it only seems right to put up an obnoxiously loud song with prominent screeching saxophone today.
Here’s a way to get your week started off weird. Progress is out this week on Paper Bag Records.
Jim’s Downtown Boys post from last Sunday was a reminder that this Priests performance from the Chris Gethard show should be up on the blog somewhere.
Welcome to another edition of the Interstellar Radio Shower Week in Review. Herein we navel gaze.
Matt Picks a Jim Song
This week was a real battle of the caps lock bands, with PUNT‘s noisy lofi barely taking the title from BOYTOY. Honorable-honorable mentions go to Cina Polada and the aptly named Woozy.
Jim Picks a Matt Song
Lots of great choices from Matt this week. Destruction Unit is always great. The new Protomartyr is great. The Hinds and the Parrots covers are good fun. But i’m going to go ahead with a strong personal preference and choose some lovely Double Double Whammy lo fi from Florist.
Sunday, October 4th Radio Show Playlist
No show this week as we both decided seeing Built to Spill live took precedence. We’ll be back on tomorrow night at 9PM, streaming on www.wrct.org.
Now here’s some music that’s pretty much made for the fall weather. Florist have a sort of “timeless guitar strummer” vibe going on that reminds me of a lower-fi, more analog version of the wonderful kind of indie rock Mutual Benefit and Foxes in Fiction both put out last year.
No Joy’s More Faithful was a really enjoyable slab of dreamy/gazey indie pop that came out earlier this year. Here’s a video for “Judith”, one of the more sedated tracks from the release.
Oh dear, two late posts in one week. Apologies! Until I figure out how to make my millions posting other people’s songs on this page daily, I have to continue working at an (admittedly pretty sweet) job that can involve jet lag and strange hours. I’ll get my blog game on point, starting now.
I just heard “Son A Propulsion” over at the Aquarium Drunkard last week, but it’s been stuck in my head pretty much ever since then. Turns out Cuba could get pretty funky in the late 70’s.
