Jordan Tice, Andrew Marlin, Christian Sedelmyer: Wild Rose of Morning

Some refreshingly old school bluegrass and folk for your weekend listening. Three guys who get it down on their own and in other groups finding serious magic together. This sounds exactly as good as you want it to, instant Americana classic. Enjoy!

The Soundcarriers: Through Other Reflections

Brit quartet makes retro rock music. Little too on the nose? Sure, I guess, but what's good is good & these guys have always been pretty damn good. And their sound is much more expansive than just a retread of the familiar. Easy Tropicalia,dreamy grooves. Never understood why they aren't bigger. Enjoy!

Walter Smith III: three of us are from Houston and Reuben is not

Some straight jazz for once. Or what passes for it these days. The title is self-explanatory, but also a wonderful ode to the underrated Houston jazz scene. A killer band - Moran! Harland! Rogers! - and saxophonist Smith is a fantastic composer and bandleader. Plenty of meat on that bone. Enjoy!

Minivan: Default Characters

Killer 5-track EP from a rock band out of Berlin. This is at the intersection of garage, prog, and indie rock and so it's got this Osees-meets-White-Denim sound that I'm seriously digging. Couple tracks in here are legit play-it-again bangers. Enjoy!

Ellen Reid: Big Majestic

Modern composition never sounded so good. Skirting classical, ambient, electronic, jazz she employs exemplar guests like Shabaka, Kronos Quartet and Lisel to create a lush, cinematic stream of loveliness. Enjoy!

Arun Ramamurthy Trio: New Moon

Arun is a carnatic violinist and his trio ably mixes Indian classical with jazz in inventive ways. The album is inspired by his grandmother. His trio is occasionally psychedelic in the truest sense, occasionally groovy and is very inspired indeed. Enjoy!

The Waeve: City Lights

British indie duo formed by meeting-of-the-minds of Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. This one is sprawling in its sound, almost every track sounds like it could be a different band. Somehow they almost all work, with a warm, loose energy. Enjoy!

Gong Gong Gong & Mong Tong: Mongkok Duel

It seems inevitable that two Asian duos called Gong Gong Gong and Mong Tong would find each other and the resulting pair-of-pairs collaboration is a freeform delight of whacked-out, weird-out, and zone-out. Enjoy!

JR Bohannon & Dave Shuford: Reclined in the Haze

Two-guitar mindwander. Light lilting musical vignettes don't quite ever become fully formed ideas, often trailing into nothing unbothered... and are better for it. Find your zones. Enjoy!

Patricia Brennan Septet: Breaking Stretch

Not all vibraphone is light and dreamt and, backed by a killer band, Brennan takes her instrument deep, often buried deep under horns and explosive rhythms. Occasionally chaotic, occasionally straight Latinjazzgroove. Enjoy!

John Craigie: Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live

Craigie is the rare singer-songwriter who kind of must be seen live to fully appreciate his genius. A live album is the next best thing and his latest perfectly captures how his banter and songwriting are two sides of the same expert storytelling coin. He's hilarious and touching and thoughtful. Enjoy!

Buzz' Ayaz: Buzz' Ayaz

Debut album from psych-rockers from the island nation of Cyprus. Wonderfully dark blend of regional influences with instrumentation and riffs from Greece, Turkey and more. Heavy grooves with that recorded-live energy. Looking forward to seeing where these guys go next. Enjoy!

Dave Harrington, Max Jaffe, Patrick Shiroshi: Zebulon!

Harrington is one of my personal faves: he prays at the altar of Jerry, is a legit electronica somebody, & can exploratory jazz with the best of em. He's always finding unique ways to balance those urges & in this trio, live recorded in his adoptive LA, he is out there in all the ways. Enjoy!

Ill Considered: Infrared

British trio that jams, but not necessarily a jamband. Everything they put out has been stellar, but their latest is full of sax-heavy long explorations that build from atmospheric to haunting intensity and back again. Morphine meets MMW. Enjoy!

Andrew Wasylyk & Tommy Perman: Ash Grey and the Gull Rides On

More excellent vibes out of the UK. This time from Scotland. Wasylyk is always a mood. This one is typical inspiration, every track like the soundtrack to a scene in a film, the one that makes you cry even though you're not sure why. Look inward, friends. Enjoy!

Myles Cochrane: You Are Here

Light, quiet, inspired. Like a long drive on a crisp autumn day, the British guitarist and songwriter delivers a floating set of instrumental loveliness. Weightless guitar is matched by cello and bass to straddle folk, classical, jazz. Roll down the windows and take a deep, refreshing breath. Enjoy!

LA LOM: The Los Angeles League of Musicians

On one hand, there are like a dozen bands in NYC making similarly cool takes on cumbia & related. On the other, I can't get enough of it. These guys have found an easygoing instrumental sweet spot & are making a name for themselves. Steady grooves in barely-song-sized packages. 13 tracks, not even 40 minutes, a mood all the way. Enjoy!
