Featured

HARRY SINGS! | "Christie's Toy Box"

Blushing Grinning
Bandcamp

Christie's Toy Box, the latest album from Harry Sings! (the solo project of Uranium Club's Harry Wohl), is nothing if not eclectic. Following a pair of lo-fi records at the turn of the decade, there's a real glow to these recordings, a warmth captured in Wohl's well worn indie leaning folk tunes and gentle acoustic explorations. Highlights like the pairing of "Sister Won't You Tell Me" and "Colly Made of Stone" capture the introspection and the joyous freedom of the project, everything punctuated with Wohl's gift for songcraft.

NO JOY | "Bugland"

Hand Drawn Dracula
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Bugland, the fifth album from Montreal’s No Joy, is appropriately, well... bugged out. While Jasamine White-Gluz is no stranger to sonic experimentation, on Bugland she's further contorted her vision of shoegaze and art pop with the help of master manipulator Fire-Toolz handling the album's production. The songs breathe with a vibrant electronic haze, opting for unpredictable shapes and kinetic shifts.

OSEES | "Abomination Revealed At Last"

Deathgod Corp
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

One year after OSEES released the rhythmic odyssey of SORCS 80 comes new album ABOMINATION REVEALED AT LAST, a freaky album that stemmed from the atrocities of our current times (genocide, fascist governments, deplorable technology, environmental crisis, etc). While modern dread might be the influence, the band sound fired up and propulsive, darting between motorik punk tunes with warbling synths and expansive head rattling psych. It's a throbbing, pounding, and chaotically mesmerizing record - a welcome addition to the band's vast catalog.

PRIMITIVE IMPULSE | "Piss It Away"

Feel It Records
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Cincinnati's Primitive Impulse make hardcore with a serrated metallic edge that sounds as though it's dripping with tetanus. Piss It Away is the band's third album (and first for Feel It Records), a warped and furious record that peels all the paint from the walls, whipping from one skull-cracking riff to the next, a blistering punk record built with ugly corrosion in mind.

PUSTULANT FLESH | "Gurgling Pustulence"

Extremely Rotten Productions
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Gurgling Pustulence, the debut from Copenhagen's Pustulant Flesh is one hell of an introduction, a death metal album as devastating and creative as it is disgusting. The quartet take a unique approach to their decapitating riffs, there's a true sense of dynamics and a vile patience that brings a multi-layered assault to their festering aggression. The proof is in the intricate details, as Pustulant Flesh occasionally avoid a never-ending dose of spidering riffs in favor of their own evil nuances -grinding, grooving, distorted, and psychedelic at times, but always brutally heavy. It's sensory overload in the best of ways.

ROC MARCIANO & DJ PREMIER | "The Coldest Profession"

TTT
Spotify | Apple

The Coldest Profession is the first collaborative record between Roc Marciano and the legendary DJ Premier, two of hip-hop's greatest forces. The EP is brief but triumphant, a celebration of two hip-hop heavyweights that feels relatively carefree. This is an off-kilter rap record from a producer and MC that (respectively) reshaped the game and never looked back. Clocking in under 20 minutes, The Coldest Profession is loose and highly repeatable, and dare we say it but it sounds like Marci and Preemo are having a damn good time.

WOMBO | "Danger In Fives"

Fire Talk
Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple

Louisville's Wombo have been a great band since their start, but the trio just keep getting better. Danger in Fives, their third full length, is their best record yet, a post-punk album that seeks to redefine the genre. With taut structures, dreamy melodies, and tangled progressions, they blur lines between art punk, math rock, and experimental pop in a way that feels fluid and daring, hypnotic and engaging.
