Mexico City’s Lorelle Meets the Obsolete chill out a bit in comparison to their last full length, meaning “Vocablo No. 1” falls more into the blissed out side of the psych spectrum. “Vocablo” is the band’s contribution to a split 7″ with Cloudland Canyon, who are equally worth your time.

Well, it took a decade, but Charlotte Marionneau is finally releasing a follow up to her debut as Le Volume Courbe. “Rusty” (no relation to the Rodan album, I can only assume) features production from My Bloody Valentine’s own Kevin Shields, who also contributes vocals and instrumentation to the record.
Mr. Gizzard and his merry band of Lizards and/or Wizards keep on churning out the hits. Don’t look now, but the band has another full length due out, 11/13 on ATO Records.
Operator is here to remind us all of the value of the locked-in rhythm section.
I wanted to share this one last week, but YACHT premiered it on a website that would only stream the song when Uber surge pricing was in effect in Los Angeles. Oh, these kooky kids and their gimmicks… Luckily, the band has now provided a lyric video that you can watch whenever you feel like it, rush hour or not.

DIIV appears to be cleaning up the production a bit for their next album, but the songwriting stays twinkly.
How do you know you’re on a artistic hot streak? When you can release an entire album of cat samples and still be considered a critical darling. Run the Jewels took their victory lap to Colbert’s Late Show last week, with a little help from their friends in TV on the Radio.
It’s Sunday, so you know the drill by now: the radio show is on tonight, 9PM til midnight. Stream it live over at www.wrct.org.
I’m having a lazy Friday off of work, so it seems like a perfect time to catch up on what everybody in Real Estate has been up to. Right? Right. Up above is “Northern Highway”, the first single off of Estater Martin Courtney’s solo debut Many Moons. It’s not far off from the music he’s making in his day job, maybe even more laid back, though. If that’s even possible.
Not to be outdone, resident Real Estate low-ender and professed Dead Head Alex Bleeker has a band of his own, the Freaks, and they’re preparing to release an LP of their own. Country Agenda will be out 10/16 on Sinderlyn Records, and “Sealong Hair” is a preview of what you can expect from it. Again, nothing too shocking from the perpetually chilled bassist. “Hair” carries a bit of a pastoral 70’s folk vibe, like something that was written around a campfire.
Still haven’t had enough Real Estate? Then I’d remind you that Courtney’s and Bleeker’s bandmate Matt Mondanile’s Ducktails put out another full length recently, which I wrote about right over here.
I’m putting this up a bit late today, but I’m making up for my lack of punctuality with an excess of noise. If you’ve ever heard Coliseum and thought “Gee, this is great, but I wish it was even more loud and nihilistic”, I’ve got great news for you. Yautja counts Coliseum members among its numbers, but this beast reminds me more of Trap Them or the dirgier sounding bands on Deathwish than the typical Louisville hardcore scrape one might expect.
