Quick and dirty BCF recs for yr cute ears

Twin Coasts - Single & Self Titled EP

Young Chicago band that makes great noisy pop tunes with some ambient/ drone mixed in. Fuck these phreaks for being so good at such a young age. I'm blown away by the songwriting on "Scratch On You". If you dig the gazey side of Dummy or Astrobrite you will love this.

Forever ☆ - 3 Series

Another young/new shoegaze band that is doing very interesting stuff with blown out guitars, frantic electronic beats and haunting melodies. This 3 song tape is a must buy esp if you dig Curve, Guitar and Garbage at their more noisy

Greg Foat &  Gigi Mason - Dolphin

Stunningly gorgeous album, the opening track "Lee" is worth the price alone. Gigi Mason of Gaussian Curve fame join Greg Foat for a collection of kosmiche, jazz, new age and ambient fusion. It's achely beautiful smooth music that is perfect for laying down, stoned in bed shutting out the horrible ass world

Fantastic Palace - Ringlets and Gaskets

Homespun psychedelic patch work collection that has an extremely weird sense of production (meaning following zero rules). Loving how odd this massive releases it, it's like 60s pysch guitar work stripped down to its barest bones. It's reminiscent of R Stevie Moore, Woo, the most far out parts of elepahnt 6and idk 2000s outsider tape artists. It's really cool.

Sprain - The Lamb As Effigy

Sprain is one of the best live bands in the world right now, I'm not being hyperbolic cuz I hate everything. One they do here is far more ambitious than most bands ever do across a whole career. This isn't "easy" music, but it is beautiful, has integrity and pure catharsis. It'd heavy, it's dramatic, has subtle hooks and blasts yr ears and soul. This has so much care, spirrit and effort......Anyone who digs Swans, Black Midi, This Heat or Faust.
