I am on tour, dodging and weaving covid, so here's some quick recs
Ki Oni - Indoor Plant Life II
Great collection of blissful domestic new age from LA artist Ki Oni. These songs are so easy to get taken in by. Colorful synths immerse you in a feeling of gazing out into a world that you wish you could participate in.

Khan Jamal Creative Arts Ensemble - Drum Dance To The Motherland
Incredible faaaaaaaar out jazz lead by vibraphone master Khan Jamal. I cannot believe this was recorded in 1972, it's production is so experimental and mind expanding. It's like the most psychedelic jazz I've ever heard, with just dubbbbbbed out sounds, pounding drums and cosmic feeling....damn, thanks to who ever recommended this to me

Print Head - Change
Print Head is easily one of my favorite punk (post) bands right now. The recordings are raw and blown out. Songs are fast, noisy, spastic and in yr face punchy vocals. The guitar work is killer and fun to listen too.. If you love The Coneheads... you'll love this.

Broadcast - Mother Is The Milky Way
Without a doubt the loss of Trish Keenan is one of the biggest blows to music in the last decade. Broadcast was/is one of the best bands of the last 25 years, and one of my favorites. This is as far as I know the last thing they ever released, a tour only CD in Australia. It's similar to the Focus Group collaboration but more homespun, lofi. The two gems are tracks 2 and 3 (Elegent Elephant being very influential on Dummys "Folk Song"). "In Here The World Begins" is a perfect melding of Tender Buttons era but taking it even further into the....Milky Way. It's a beautiful and far to brief EP, hope one day James releases more stuff. Also, this is dope cuz I've been listening to a shit download of this for years!

Joys Union Group - Boredom Euphoria
Being apart of Trouble In Mind in this era of the labels existence is such a gift. So many like minded music needs making cool music, that is part approachable and part avant garde. This new release by Joy's Union Group takes elements of new age, spiritual jazz, soft focus psychedelia and hints of Chicago post rock into a meditative journey that is reminiscent of The Alps (Jefre Cantu Ledsema/Arp), Ashra and Rameses III. Slow churning bliss.
