Next Year's Ghost finds Zachary Cale at the keys, a meditative respite that ponders loneliness, isolation, time and its tenure. It’s a new skin for Cale, but inside beats the same resilient heart that hums through his past works. tinyurl.com/38vh8c95
Easing off of the Alt-axis, the new Laughing single is far more steeped in the jangle-pop pedigree, feeling like it’s filled with fallout from the post-Byrds bunch, leaning heavy on Lemonheads, Fanclub, and the Memphis power pop well. Meritorio Records tinyurl.com/5n8t2ny8
Freeman Dejongh lets out the twang and wanderlust of “Iowa” this week. His steel seeping a bit of late afternoon sun into the mix, just dipping out of view as the streetlight leer of the track rises out of the dust. Out now from Curation Records tinyurl.com/jdbhzdfu
Motorists weave power pop, post-punk, '90s scrape and fuzz into an album wrought with displacement and hung on a gnawing hunger. Scraping by, sticking out, and skirting stagnation on one of '24's best! bobo integral records tinyurl.com/4y8xpd8z
West of Roan dig into a folk tradition that brings to mind the Appalachian lean of The Black Twig Pickers, Joseph Allred, or House & Land. “The Bell,” contemplates ancient gods & ancestral wounds, creaking into view on harmonium & fiddle. S P I N S T E R tinyurl.com/mr2x73ra
A new collaborative release brings together Agnes Martin, Laraaji, free-improv collective Music For Connection, and multimedia duo Hair and Space Museum for an exploratory session. Centripetal Force Records tinyurl.com/2sap3rv3
Caravanserai-esque guitar pairs with heavier wanders through African psych, growling bass grooves, and organ, a deep dip into the psychedelic whirlpool culminating in a tidal wave of sound that shakes the shingles. El Paraiso Records tinyurl.com/mtfjke57
Exploding into the room with a cacophonous blast, the new single from Asher White’s is a rapturous blend of noise, psych-pop, and indie. “Downstate Prairie” won’t sit still and that’s much to its credit constantly tossed by the pop tempest. FEEDING TUBE RECORDS tinyurl.com/yknx3zkz
The new single finds Color Green deep in crystal caves of psych pop, knotted guitars giving way to melancholy harmonies, letting some of the Cosmic Americana bake off with the early morning mists. New West Records tinyurl.com/yxet695f
Sad Eyed Beatniks' You Belong With Us,” is draped in a muted ennui, a feeling of life’s expectations dragging you down. The single hangs heavy, but lofts the listener towards the sun. New LP out soon on Meritorio Records tinyurl.com/298bvwed
