A grand new composition from the dark musicians down in Houston. //TENSE// Continue to mostly give their glorious music away for free via their stocked Soundcloud. “After Dark” helps to a...
This video is so BASED. As in, someone free-BASED peyote and then wrote a treatment for a video. On a side one, Bear In Heaven easily put out one of the top records of the year thus far.
Creeping chamber pop from the Alpines. Could be a strong future in store for these Swiss janglers if they can continue to put out songs like “Away We Go” (reference to ‘quirky’...
DIIV goes all mad scientist.
Fitting in a new track from Summer Camp before this glorious three-day weekend of BBQ, sunshine, beer, grass, friends, sunglasses, shorts, tank tops, making out in the bushes all for Memorial Day. Ou...
Sitting in a laundromat blogging this song, listening to it on headphones as the top 40 music over the background noise of children screaming and breaking things and I’m wondering, “How d...
Dent May and pals show you Mississipi in their own way.
Yes, yes, yes. This is exactly what I’ve needed. Appropriately named band and song title. Check. South-American steel drum synth. Check. Mysterious and beautiful vocals. Double Check. Sunless &...
Pleasantly surprised and impressed with this kid known as Ghibli from Edmonton. I am not a fan of most sample-heavy music but the grainy beat, effortlessly-catchy r&b-eats caught me immediately a...
Wizard Oz let us know their tape is now available for download over at their bandcamp and for purchase from Peking Tapes. In commemoration they wanted us to post another track. I chose the airy appar...
Spooky video from Last Days of 1984. Reminds me of the creepy demon boar from Princess Mononoke. Out on Osaka.
Cloudy Busey has been headed in this direction lately and I feel he finally turned a corner with this song, like he found a nice soft patch of grass to rest on and write synth jams. The Osaka, Japan...
Sammy Yager aka Birthdays sent over a video for “Howolding Girls,” he so nicely pointed out we were actually the first to post this way back in 2010 when it was a demo known as “Pro...
Always impressed at the //TENSE// mixes. This one tops out at 89 minutes and brews together the sounds of kraut with pop, obscure dance mixes to dreamy synth and early cold-wave. They often post demo...
Purity Ring dropped a new track on us this late Monday night and it is single-handedly nursing my Coachella hang-over like a swaddled baby with a mother’s breast. This is the first track off th...
Portland’s Mean Jeans are back with a cleaner recording but there is nothing glossy about their approach– snotty vocals and brash guitar licks. Dirtnap Records seems a perfect fit for the...
One of my personal, absolute favorite musical bros in the known and physical universe, Ted AKA Monster Rally, has announced another full length and just released a fantastic new single. “Jaguar...
After a long weekend partying in the desert, I came back to Los Angeles to find my home with all its windows open and some serenely surfy tunes breezing in the crosswind of my living room. It was Bla...
It’s not very often anymore I really love something, something that I can listen to over and over again, the whole album through. Bands seem to have one really great song I can’t get enou...
Bringin’ the solo back. Hair is out on Drag City on 4/24 Ty Segall & White Fence – I Am Not A Game
‘ A brand new ass kickin’ from Mi$$i$$ippi boys Bass Drum of Death. Expect much of the same harsh, snotty, head-jerking guitar band–clearly graduates of Rock n Roll High School. It&...
Seems like it’s been ages since we posted about Aussie bros Wizard Oz though they’ve continued to put out quality releases in my ear’s absence. Next up is their Flashing Lights tape...
Honeydrum created a video for the b-side on their upcoming Stranger Calls 7″. This band is known for constantly putting out tapes and songs but I’m always befuddled at how they are never ...
Video for Colours offering to the upcoming final Beko-DSL compilation.
Drowsy new offerings from Oakland purveyors of layered psychedelia, Clipd Beaks. Proving to be a nice accompaniment to this gloomy LA afternoon. Evil jazz tangents and erratic drum machine paint a be...
I met a few of these guys at SXSW, had heard of them but never listened to them though I planned on it once returning home, but forgot of course. Thankfully today IGIF made a post about their song &#...
previously: Splash Wave – Theme From ‘Two Cool Guys At The Beach’
Masculin (clever name points) is Tokyo-based project that own CUZMEPAIN along with the members Jesse Ruins. “Ecstasy” is fun, utilitarian synth sounds–a fulfilling 2-minute synth d...
Yesterday the homie Beachtapes tweeted a link to a band called The Breezes. I was immediately like, “Okay, this will either be very enjoyable or this will be some more crap I just got duped int...
Keep Shelly In Athens is going to Coachella and in celebration of this we at Forest Family Records, in conjunction with KSIA, are giving away a pair of tickets to Coachella in beautiful Indio Valley....
