Despite their six-year hiatus, The Decemberists seemingly never left. Frontman Colin Meloy has been toiling on countless literary projects, including his Wildwood series, which is being made into a feature film. Meloy’s work in the storytelling space may lend to the cinematic odyssey that is The Decemberists’ first album since 2018. As It Ever Was, […]

Continuing our special Juxtaposed June edition for Weirdo Wednesdays this month, today we bring you another particularly odd pairing that clearly does not go together in the form of this Suicidal Tendencies performance on Miami Vice from 1986. Where to begin here? First of all, when most people think of Suicidal Tendencies’ fanbase, it’s probably […]

Hermanos Gutiérrez’s previous release, the excellent El Bueno Y El Malo, was steeped in the ‘Spaghetti Western’ allure of Sergio Leone’s expansive films. For their follow-up, Sonido C​ó​smico, they relax, looking into the cosmos for some outer space waves of inspiration as their guitars continue to weave instrumental magic.  The duo (Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez) […]

Human Decency is the third collaboration between blues and soul powerhouse vocalist Sugaray Rayford and producer/label owner Eric Corne on Corne’s Forty Below Records. At this point, the two have landed on a formula of sorts as Corne writes most of the lyrics, and Rayford delivers them with, as Rayford puts it, “… some ‘sugar’ […]

The Heavy Heavy has announced their debut album, One of a Kind, due out September 6th via ATO Records. The tracklistings’ high points include the majestic title track, the feel-good and carefree love song “Because You’re Mine,” the bass-driven and gorgeously hazy “Miracle Sun,” “Wild Emotion,” a country-infused serenade laced with galloping rhythms and twangy […]

On September 6, Jeffrey Foucault will release The Universal Fire via Fluff and Gravy Records, his first album of entirely new material since 2018. A series of high-voltage performances captured live in one room, the album is a kind of working wake – Foucault lost his best friend and drummer, Billy Conway, to cancer in […]

Described most often as “dreamy,” this dream-pop project is produced by Annemarie Duff out of Ōtautahi, in the South Island of New Zealand. Beats-driven and shimmery, the tracks come with a classic twist from the 90s shoegaze scene. A modern, nostalgic vibe for lovers of “lush, twangy guitar-pop.” These tunes have been regulars on the […]

On September 13, 2024, Yep Roc Records will release Indoor Safari, Nick Lowe’s first full-length album in eleven years.

Like any band, Blvck Hippie had to go through a few phases before landing on the borderless experimental rock band we hear today. What started as a solo vehicle for head singer/songwriter Josh Shaw has morphed into a quintet hellbent on blurring the lines between styles and eras. On their new album, Basketball Camp, Shaw […]

Their song “Baroque Thoughts” won The International Music Award […]

With the exception of Coachella or maybe Lollapalooza, has there been a more iconic and celebrated festival in the 21st century than Tennessee’s very own Bonnaroo? It’s certainly in the conversation, but whatever the case, given it’s slated to kick off this week, we dug up this classic performance by The Growlers from not too […]
