Kevin Coleman: Imaginary Conversations

Coleman takes 40+ minutes over just three tracks on this album of exploratory instrumental Americana. Cosmic country to the utmost, this is psychedelic and expansive, even as it stays within the confines of traditional folk guitar motifs. Pretty cool stuff! Enjoy!

Chris Morrissey: Grey Like the Color

Chris Morrissey is typically in the backing band, playing bass for Norah Jones, Mark Guiliana, and more. But out front, he's just as compelling, on his latest brining a jazz vibe to indie rock and evoking bands like Broken Social Scene, Sea and Cake, Radiohead and more. Killer band, too, naturally. Enjoy!

Beans: Boots N Cats

Australian rock band featuring the drummer from the Murlocs. Little dose of psych, little dose of prog, little dose of groove, some of the catchiest riffs imaginable. I have a hard time believing anyone would not love this record, one of my favorites of the year so far. Enjoy!

Eric Hilton: Sound Vagabond

More vibey-as-fuq electrojazz, and ain't it just the salve for what ails us these days? Hilton, originally from Thievery Corporation, is masterful here, ambientgroove dopamine hits for your worried mind all the way down. Enjoy!

Frontier Ruckus: On the Northline

Detroit folksters have been around for a while, but new music few/far between so I forget how great they are til bam! they drop one on ya. This is more of the same awesome, mix of bluegrassy sounds + modern day indie. The songwriting perspective is a unique one, each tune is an adventure of lyrical imagery. Enjoy!

Mohama Saz: Maquina de Guerra

Kaleidoscopic psychedelic rock from Madrid. A blend of around-the-world spices creates a rather deep, flavorful sonic palette that'll fill your earholes and take you there. Dig in! Enjoy

Dawn Landes: The Liberated Woman's Songbook

Landes has a soft-but-strong voice perfectly suited for this chronological album covering protest songs from the women's liberation movement, over about a century of music and fighting the good fight along the way. She makes it all feel modern and relevant, for better or worse. Enjoy!

levitation room: Strange Weather

Not sure if psychedelic rock's moment has come and gone, but with albums like this, I tend to think/hope not. This is quintessential psych from Los Angeles: killer riffs, get-out-there exploration, propulsive rhythms. Out on Greenway label and fitting right in with the rest of their roster. A+ stuff. Enjoy!

Cowboy Sadness: Selected Jambient Works, Vol 1

The album title may be self-explanatory. A collaborative instrumental "supergroup" of sorts, this is a collection of recordings made over several years (with perhaps more to come). Ambient music with teeth and an exploratory energy, this is the goods for zoning out or zoning in. Enjoy!

James Elkington + Nathan Salzburg: All Gist

Lots of magic guitar duos over the last decade, but I think the last one from this pair was a leading edge & still one of the best. So it's great to get new music all these years later and what a masterpiece. More than just 2 guitars, it's a vision of acoustic music: stunning, gorgeous, cerebral. Enjoy!

Marta Sanchez: Perpetual Void

I'm an unabashed fan of Sanchez, so I'm predisposed to love her records, but this is truly phenomenal. Cerebral complexity with warmth and softness. With bassist Chris Tordini and drummer Savannah Harris shining equally as bright, this is the best of the next generation of piano trios. Enjoy!

Greg Foat: Live at Villa Maximus

Foat actually has 2 new live releases, but the other is basically a DJ/solo electronic set. This is a full band zinger of bright-eyed jazzgroove. Lovely ambient textures & zig-zag playing from a
more-than-capable band of Greek jammers. Would love to catch something like this in the US someday. Until then... Enjoy!

Sarah Shook & the Disarmers: Revelations

Seems like a good day to rec Shook's latest. More of the same great songwriting from her, always feels very personal, half angry and gnarly, half inspired positivity. Always feels like she means it. Old school outlaw country meets an almost grunge rock and roll. Good shit. Enjoy!

Oren Ambarchi/Johan Berthling/Andreas Werliin: Ghosted II

When a jazz trio goes both extraterrestrial & introspective at the same time, it sounds like this. Brilliant single-minded playing that will take you to all the places. This transcends genre and also just transcends. Highly recommended for your weekend headspace'n. Enjoy!

Bryony Jarman-Pinto: Below Dawn

The intersection of soul, R&B, jazz, and pop never sounded so good. If I were to just read a description of this, I'm not sure I'd have thought it was for me, but I would've been wrong, goshdarnit. Every track puts a smile on my face, groovy and simple and lovely. One of the year's best. Give it a shot! Enjoy!

La Luz: News of the Universe

These gals have always been on my radar at the "yeah, they're pretty good" level, but this one pushes them firmly into the "pretty darn great" category. A perfect slice of 60's-era psychedelia, like a modern day Jefferson Airplane. Dreamy vocals, a fully-layered sound, and killer hooks. Enjoy!

Joel Ross: nublues

I am a sucker for the vibraphone and there are few better playing it than Ross. He just kind of *gets* it in a very fundamental way. That's very clearly the case here, a gorgeous, compelling jazz that's simultaneously traditional and progressive. One of the best jazz records released this winter (and there have been some doozies!). Enjoy!

Ultrasonic Grand Prix: Instafuzz

Kind of a supergroup of dudes you don't know, but probably should. Just straight up sweet fuzzed out garage rock shit. Every track pretty much scratches the itch. Start listening now and you'll have your windows-down rockers ready to go by the time the weather turns spring.

Enjoy!
