The label also includes Forest of Lost Children, by awesome face-melters, Kikagaku Moyo. I first came across her on one of the above mentioned “Imaginational Anthems.” “Intuition” came out in September of 2019 and one of my favorite songs on it is the driving piece, “Boat Ride II.” I can’t wait to hear more from her. I’ve been digging Kendra Amalie who is a singer and an experimental finger picking shredder, who plays both acoustic and electric guitar. I might suggest starting with one of the Imaginational Anthems (there are 10!). Finger picking guitar, freaky and not so freaky folk, complex acoustic and electric experimental instrumentation, archival works, and exactly what you want to hear as the cold weather sets in and you cozy up around the fireplace. They had a big sale this summer and so I ordered a bunch of their “Imaginational Anthem” recordings and now I have a wealth of artists to explore. Time and time again I’ve followed the lead of a song and found myself at Tompkins Square (Ryley Walker, Harmony Rockets, Kinloch Nelson, Robbie Basho, Gwenifer Raymond, Sam Burton, Daniel Bachman, Brigid Mae Power, etc, etc). Lovely electronic track that could easily be placed in Sofia Coppola’s next flick. The Battlebeats by The Battlebeats Her Presence by Pillars Indonesian rock and roll and the perfect song length, 1:47. (Hey Hey Hey) Pretty Girl by The Battlebeats Getting With You by Christian Bland & The Revelators Psych garage is my jam! Understated vocals with just enough guitar twang to make a girl happy. Getting With You by Christian Bland and the Revelators Just groovin’ enough to make your head bob and your eyes flutter in a daze of a haze.

This track makes me think of a time and place and what did happen and what could have happened and what will happen all at once. I don’t always Bandcamp but am intrigued by it all… “Black and Blue” and “A Prayer for the Sane” are recent songs worth checking out and paying for! Or maybe I just made that up, regardless, I like it and enjoy belting out, “take a pill…no…why?”īlack Rabbit by Prince Fatty ft. I imagine that it was easy to go over the top, or down the hole with abandon, with this song but they honed it down (like an over detailed email that you write and then delete most of before sending) to perfection. I can’t stop playing “Black Rabbit.” Their reggae version of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” is as fantastic as the original, which is fantastic squared. Just put out a gentle little song called “Changing.” Break out album My Beautiful Black Dog is wonderfully off the wall and crazy and about being wonderfully off the wall and crazy.Ĭhanging by Brigitte Aphrodite and Quiet Boy Ace of Cups is the name of their first album and they have just released Sing Your Dreams. Putting out lots of great music and joined by many of the musicians they opened for. Her album Medicine for the Birds is also great.Ĭha Cha Palace by Angelica Garcia Ace of CupsĪll-women band who opened for many big acts in the 1960s but never had a recording contract or career…until now. Such a unique voice with something to say. Uncle Dave Lewis & Troy Gallagher, Ark Darge Mormeal DyaĪrk Darge Mormeal Dya by Uncle Dave Lewis & Troy GallagherĪnnie De Blanco Merging with the Night, Wednesdays 11pm-1am Uncle Dave Lewis The Early Music Show, Mondays 7-9pm

Manic panic dream pop with collaborations from the one and only Ms. Russian post-punk that lightens up any dark room. Probably the only black metal record in this list. Gooey garage that’ll really stick with ya. Swingin’ Man Refrigerate After Opening, Saturdays 11pm-1amįrom the band: “A strange cocktail made of disc grooves, powerful “Thai beat” tunes, and experimental tropi-synths.” Also Bongo Joe is a damn good record label, so check that out.
