Had to hurry up and post this before Jim did, cause I know he’s way into this album, too. You can definitely hear a DC lineage in the music, and the vocals remind me of Nick Cave at his Birthday Party-est/most unhinged. If you like this song, you’ll definitely dig the rest of their new EP, out now on Don Giovanni records.

Here’s one I can’t play on the radio show. This is off the free album Death Grips dropped out of nowhere about a month ago, which is apparently part of an even bigger project. If those female vocals sound familiar, it’s probably because they chopped up a ton of Bjork samples and put them in every single track on the LP.

Heady psych jam from these krauty Pittsburghers. Ex-Modey Lemon. Hang around until about halfway through, when the groove really kicks in.
Heady, slow-burning psych from The Cult of Dom Keller. I know next to nothing about the band, except I’ve been constantly returning to their bandcamp page all week. The title track to their newest LP grows and morphs over the course of its length, before finally erupting into an absolute monster.
Some Evan Dando via Courtney Barnett, whose Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas release has been one of my favorites of the year so far.

Jangly Montreal garage rock that brings to mind Let it Bloom-era Black Lips, which is never a bad thing. The band’s S/T LP is out now on Burger/P. Trash and you can grab the entire thing over at their bandcamp page.
