On the Horrors third LP, the primary colors that combined to created the band’s eccentric brand of post-punk start to fade a little bit; however, I think the move is sort of intentional. Rather than sticking to their guns, the band is moving in a decidedly psychedelic and atmospheric
Didn’t think I’d be typing the words “Adult Swim” into two posts today, but here we are. Not only does Adult Swim currently have their summer singles deelie going on right now, but they’ve also got tracks from the forthcoming Cerebral Ballzy album on lock, too. I
As you know, I dug the hell out of that new Shabazz Palaces album, Black Up. So, I’m happy to present two pieces of live magic from the project: A Daytrotter session and a video shot by the good people at KEXP. Bon Appétit! Stream: Shabazz Palaces @ Daytrotter
As a part of its new series of free summer singles, Adult Swim has released not only a new track from Mastodon, but an unbelievably hilarious music video, too. It is Adult Swim we’re talking about here, so it shouldn’t be a surprise. Produced by Authority Films, this

Georgia’s I Come To Shanghi has followed its self-titled, 2009 debut with a mini-LP that I hope sees a sequel soon: Eternal Life Vol. 1. It’s a jittery synth rock release, built of several tracks that feature seamless and psychedelic transitions. Seeing where the duo takes things next
A music video from Connecticut’s own the Guru. This track is a great show of the kinda sunny and eccentric indie rock you’ll be in or with a visit of the band’s latest LP, Native Sun. Stream the whole thing via Bandcamp. Buy it for three bones
