“Hi, I’m Wildhoney. You might remember me from past IRS blog posts such as ‘Seventeen‘ and ‘Matt’s Favorite Music of 2014‘”. — I’m assuming you knew to read that in Troy McClure’s voice. After a pair of promising EPs, Wildhoney will be releasing Sleep Through It at the end of the month.

This new Twerps record is pretty damned good. And you know what, I really love the band name. Nice job band. Merge Records has it up for pre-order here.
Holy shit, this is exciting. Erase Errata is back! Unfortunately, I can’t embed the stream from their new album. But you can check it out at this link. And also, if you step out over there you will find an interview with singer Jenny Hoyston. Aren’t you excited? I am. I love Erase Errata.
Oh, wait, the History of Handclaps is on youtube and totally embeddable. From their new album then…
Miles away from “Destroy the Law Machine”, but worth your time nonetheless, I think.
Inventions features members of Explosions in the Sky and Eluvium, and sounds pretty much just like you’d expect it to, considering the contributors. As “Springworlds” demonstrates, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It’s pretty absurd that a song this ear-shatteringly loud can settle into such an effortless groove.
Thurston Moore has a new album coming out with John Moloney. I like the percussion emphasis and the slow heavy thing here. It’s a bit of a shift from a lot of what Thurston has done of late. I really, really like it.
I wish I could tell you more about Kaitlyn, but the fact that this song exists is about all I know at this point. I’d say we’re off to a good start, at least.
On a completely unrelated note, the video below really made me nostalgic for the awesome High Atlas scenery of Morocco, and is well worth the five minutes it’ll take you to watch it. Maybe go crazy and listen to “Careen” at the same time? If you’re lucky, they’ll sync up. I’ll be on Kayak trying to find cheap airfare to Casablanca.
I really enjoy this new song from Waxahatchee. Reminds me a bit of Mary Timony solo stuff in the verse.
