Anamai is the nom de plume of Anna Mayberry, and while I don’t know much about the project yet, this smokey, mysterious bit of music from her self-titled EP that she put out last year is enough to convince me to start digging around.

Ovlov have done us the favor of making it simple to find their most epic tracks by naming them all “The Great” something or other. This one settles into a nice groove, and then things start to get crazy around three minutes. It’s off a split the band did with Ex-Breathers, Woozy, and Gnarwhal, out November 18th on Community Records.
This entire EP is an extended take on the closing track of Woodsman’s self-titled LP that was released earlier this year, and the whole thing shimmers and slowly morphs over it’s half hour run time. I suspect this is good driving music, a theory I’m sure I’ll test quite soon.
Hey, well this is a fun song, innit?
I’ve been listening to Kelley Stoltz’s lovely Double Exposure the past few days, clinging desperately to the last few vestiges of summer. Here’s his ode to his favorite food truck.
An extremely relevant SOTD today, as our band will be playing this upcoming Saturday, 9PM at Hambones in Lawrenceville. First show in a few months, so come help us shake off the dust and have a good time (read: buy us beer, or buy yourself enough beer that you’ll enjoy whatever show we wind up putting on). Hiss Golden Messenger’s Lateness of Dancers is out today on Merge Records.
Peals make some laid back, sometimes warm/sometimes electronic music that falls closer to The Books than The Clientele on the easy-listening psych spectrum. Here they are playing “Floating Leaf”, from last year’s Walking Field, a song so relaxing you’d never guess that this project is how they fill time between their day jobs playing in Future Islands and Double Dagger.
Yes, you read that band name correctly. Mr. Gizzard and his collective Wizards will be releasing an LP on John Dwyer’s Castleface Records in November.
My second cover song post in a row. This one is Mac Demarco lending his particular brand of whimsy to Angel Olsen’s “Lights Out”, from this year’s stellar Burn Your Fire for No Witness. Of particular note is Mac’s hairband and sharpie combo in lieu of an actual capo.
It’s getting to the point where anytime Courtney Barnett releases anything new, I immediately repost it up here. No point in changing now, though, so here she is covering The Breeders for the AV Club.
