New Year, new music for yr ears.... for the return of bandcamp day. Was originally gonna just post this, but then they announced new BCF and I held off till now!
Bookhouse - Eferwad y Tonnau Gwyn
Yes, Yes, YES, Bookhouse returns with their new EP? This UK experimental krauty psychedelic band that remind me of why music is exciting. These songs are free of giving a fuck about about being accessible to anyone. Traces of Amon Dual II, Neu, Ash Ra Temple but with a blender turning off and on, going in different direction. Feel it.

Fib - Fib
Nervy, tightly coiled post PUNK from Portland, that Dummy was luckily enough to play with. Cleaners from Venus on speed, while living in a dirty punk house. I fully mean that as a compliment! Can't wait to hear what they do next, esp since they played an amazing song when we played with em. Just good guitar work and youthful energy.

Humanherb - Areopagus
So, this came my way by Humanherb giving it to a bandmate on tour to give to me. The next morning we tried to figire out who it was! This cassette is DOPE, new agey ambient goodness, thats thick with great sound design. I've listened to this a ton in the mornings, making coffee and working on PR emails. It also was released by Constellation Tatsu who has release cool stuff by Sofie Birch, XYR and Kara Lis Coverdale. Get into it.

Winged Wheel - No Island
A band that could have maybe only happened due to the hell we are living, recording and sharing over the net with members of Tyvek, and Powers/Rolin. Only one song so far has been released but it rules. Pulsating noisy drone rock, with anti solos, motorik drums and haunting vocals to tie it all together....can't wait to hear more. If you dig Kranky, Too Pure or Wurlitzer Jukebox releases, youll dig this.

You'll Never Get To Heaven - Wave Your Moonlight Hat For The Snowfall Train
Minimalist dream pop duo that sounds like if Cocteau Twins were produced by Lee Strach Perry. The production is airy and lofi with hints of Japanese pop and new agey textures. I only recently got into this record, so I don't have a ton of insightful things to say yet other than, this rules. If yr a fan of early 4AD, or Kranky Records.....this is for you.

Parker Sprout - Milk In The Sun
What the actual fuck is happening in Minneapolis right now? They got IE, American Cream Band and another Moon Glypher Parker Sprout. This short burst of blistering sunshine pop feels like a Slumberland release but warped by a good LSD trip. Jangle pop hooks without the twee, indie pop but weird/lofi with small glimpses of something more avant. It actually really reminds me of Mark Renner, who also rules. Moon Glyph don't miss!
