Psychic Graveyard | Your Smile is a Hoax | Wilting | Artoffact Records | 2024 | Released June 7, 2024. Released on Toronto's Artoffact Records. Psychic Graveyard was formed by members from bands such as Arab On Radar, Chinese Stars, Doomsday Student, Some Girls, and All Leather.“‘This Butthole Surfers bass guitar sounds awesome! Let’s put some synth and bass guitar together.’ That was the main impetus for creating this song—the craving for a fuzzed-out bass guitar. Over the years, we’ve realized that our songs are birthed in pairs. ‘Your Smile is a Hoax’ is the sister to another Psychic Graveyard track off this album called ‘Haunted By Your Bloodline’. Both feature the use of two low-register instruments playing off of each other, with a higher synth note popping obnoxiously out of the mix. We feel as though it helps keep the chaos grounded. Those higher swirl elements come from a forgotten field recording of an ambulance passing by Nate’s house in San Diego. Lyrically, it fills in the listener with some of our experiences as an afflicted band in today’s world, traveling all over the place while we’re wounded, but somehow having a blast while we’re out there—bleeding everywhere. Showcasing an intense surge of creativity through four complete albums—’Loud As Laughter,’ ‘A Bluebird Vacation,’ ‘Veins Feel Strange,’ and their latest standout release ‘Wilting’—Psychic Graveyard reliably produces captivating and disquieting musical compositions.” Psychic Graveyard: Your Smile is a Hoax | OFFICIAL VIDEO | 0:08:44 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Gold Watch | Make The Grave | Gold Watch | Desired Parts | 2024 | Released August 2025. Toronto duo Gold Watch is comprised of two Matts...

Essential Logic | Alkaline Loaf In The Area (BBC John Peel session) | Essential Logic – John Peel session 21.02.79 | Precious Recordings | 1979 / 2024 | The 1979 Essential Logic Peel session was released at last on March 15, 2024 on Precious Recordings. "Shortly after parting company with X-Ray Spex, post-punk icon Lora Logic went into the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios with the first incarnation of her own band, Essential Logic. Now officially released for the first time by Precious Recordings of London to coincide with its 45th anniversary, this is that legendary four-song session for John Peel – pre-dating the group’s debut LP, ‘Beat Rhythm News’, for which these tracks would be re-recorded, and a famous 30-date Rough Trade UK tour with Stiff Little Fingers and The Normal." https://preciousrecordingsoflondon.bandcamp.com/album/pre-040-essential-logic-john-peel-session-210279-2 | 0:13:44 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
HOUSE Of ALL | The Good Englishman | HOUSE Of ALL SOULS | Tiny Global Recordings | 2024 / 2025 | Album forthcoming Feb 14 2025, this is the second advance track of the two previewed in 2024... Co-founder of The Fall & Blue Orchids leader Martin Bramah recruits former members of The Fall (& one Blue Orchids fill-in who stuck) for HOUSE Of ALL, currently housing 7 rotating members in all... Writes the label: "The return of HOUSE Of ALL! This album is probably notable for the surprise return (unless you listen to rumour-mongers) of Karl Burns, who played on the very first records by The Fall, left and returned a few times. //// We think it's their best yet . . . darker, more of a band feel, with an unusual array of styles, possibly due to three separate two-man drum line-ups and as many as three guitarists on some tracks" https://houseofall.bandcamp.com/ | * | 0:18:41 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Cool Flowers | The Message | Cool Flowers | Cool Flowers | 2019 | Cool Flowers: Dub post punk from US. Cool Flowers was a band. Now they are not not a band...but no longer a band. Their music is free to DL on Bandcamp. | 0:34:07 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
The Unfit | Bad Guys | Disconnected | Share It Music. | 2024 | Released in late November...The Unfit are a group of nobodies from Seattle. Probably some of the least interesting people you've never met. They don't really like to do much, but sometimes they get together and pretend they're a band. They hail from Seattle. On their very angry release they say "That so many people are spending their lives in servitude to bullshit and soulless institutions instead of doing what they want or what they know they should be doing. That so many people feel stuck in painful or meaningless lives and are suffering and struggling every day. Feeling like they don’t have a place. Wanting to give up...." | * | 0:36:02 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
FEMME FUGAZI | Hide Your Secrets Pt. 1 | Look At You | FEMME FUGAZI | 2024 | Another release from just before the holidays...FEMME FUGAZI A frontwoman driven garage/post-punk band from Nijmegen. The band combines spoken word, punk ethos and distorted guitars into an unpredictable whole. FEMME FUGAZI is inextricably linked to bands from the emerging post-punk wave of recent years. Think of a mix between Dry Cleaning and IDLES. They are pissed. We are all pissed. They have been playing together since 2022 | * | 0:38:30 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
Geo | So Many Ways | Out of Body | GEO | 2024 | Post-punk/no wave oddity Geo are like a sentient slot machine: whatever seems happenstance is actually by design, and the more mismatched the moving parts appear, the more their music starts to make sense. Since the Groningen quartet’s inception in 2019, they have built a framework of skeletal agit-funk, cartoonish chromatics and neoteric art punk vignettes – sketching negative spaces where chaos and cacophony can sound perplexingly catchy. Out of Body is an oblong snow globe utopia where dancing with two left feet is an actual custom. Out on Erste Theke Tontraeger on April 26, 2024 – this collection of songs constitutes material Geo have been writing and performing when they first entered the circuit. These jitterbug, birdbrained post-punk spiels are in the spirit of gung-ho deconstructionists like The Contortions, The Fall and Gang of Four. On Out of Body the band play emotions out against each other like some kind of absurdist Punch and Judy show. I am also sold on anything using wood block. | 0:42:59 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Tigers and Flies | Adaptive Release | Nervous Entertainment EP | Gathering Speed | 2024 | Tigers & Flies are the new noise in Manchester. The four piece who move up north to the windy indie city are flying the flag for post-punk – the future/modern scene that has been with us for four decades. Having immersed themselves in their parent’s record collections, they reimagined the classic era on their own terms with a Smiths meets XTC very British quirk on dripping glorious melody. This attitude of fun first even appears in the way they write songs. Their process is geared around creating songs that they all enjoy, and then developing them further. “You know something’s good when everyone’s enjoying it” Arthur states, with the rest of the band echoing his sentiment. | 0:45:58 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
PyPy | Lonely Striped Sock | Sacred Times | Goner Records | 2024 | It’s been exactly a decade since PYPY’s debut album, Pagan Day, a healthy dose of insane psych rock brought to you by the demented punk and post-punk rockers of Duchess Says, CPC Gangbangs, Red Mass, etc. As a band that achieved cult status with one release and crazy live shows, PyPy has carved out a delicious niche. Sacred Times cranks up the madness to an unadulterated 11. Annie-Claude Deschênes’s vicious banshee vocal screams are still strong and true, and she slays on the toy-like synthesizers, as Roy Vucino’s shifting monster guitar riffs put you in a state of wild delirium. Philippe Clement’s bass riffs are as thick as golden molasses and Simon Besré’s drums, while steady, have many freakout flourishes as well. It may have taken a decade, but PYPY has done it again. This track also has all the Ze Records aesthetic and that makes it even more perfect. | 0:48:36 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
G2g | Up | The Gherkin | Lulu's Sonic Disc Club | 2024 | Formed by the dirty old Harbour somewhere around 2018, G2G are a group with true gang mentality. A real brat pack. They’re a tight-knit unit with a starry-eyed lens on the relationship between life and rock and a language of their own. The laws of attraction feel central to G2G’s core philosophy. Every action generates a reaction. Every call has its response. If there’s a high, there’s a low. There are moments of beauty. Moments of lament. In-jokes. Universal truths. This is the day to day. A celebratory ode to getting through it. Repetition, repetition, repetition - it’s tradition. Looking through starry eyes to the other side. Hanging out. | 0:53:02 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |

Though new wave fans might just remember them for "I Know What Boys Like," New York's Waitresses served many other appetizing dishes than that. Starting out from the ashes of under-rated odd-ball art-pop/rockers Tin Huey, proud Ohio native Chris Butler turned a small project with singer Patty Donahue in the late 70's into a full-time concern as they transplanted themselves into Gotham, rounding up a full band that included Television's drummer and former members of no-wave legends the Contortions. |

AK/DK, Thick Richard | Nobody Shouts [feat Thick Richard] | Strange Loops | Little Miss Echo Recordings | 2024 | Released Oct 25, 2024. A Brighton, UK duo, who are on this track accompanied by Thick Richard. //// "The duo create improvised layers of fuzzed-up synths, delays and thunderous double drums. Known for their high-energy and structural abandon as a live act, their stream of largely improvised layers of fizzing arpeggios and crushing motorik drums has earned them places on stages and at festivals all around the UK, Europe and South America." //// "Thick Richard is a critically acclaimed spoken word artist from Manchester, UK. His work, characterised by sharp wit and incisive social commentary, has earned him a dedicated following and widespread recognition in the UK’s spoken word and poetry scenes. A must-see. // At first listen, the track might evoke comparisons to groups like The Fall and Sleaford Mods. However, Thick Richard playfully dismisses these parallels, stating, “I’m sure he (Mark E Smith) would have absolutely hated the track. In fact, I’d be very disappointed if he didn’t.”" https://akdk.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:04:24 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
Architorti | TV eye | PlayPunk | Felmay | 2009 | The Architorti are an Italian classical music group based in Pinerolo. Translated from the Italian Wiki page: "performing concerts since 2000. In the context of this activity, the peculiar feature is the performance of transcriptions and reworkings of songs taken from every musical genre, from punk to techno to early music, from films and tradition. //// Leader and composer of the Architorti quintet is Marco Robino. Over forty musicians collaborate on the project and take turns in the formation of the quintet. Recently, wind instruments have been added to the strings. Among the musicians who collaborate most frequently:" | 1:07:48 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp | Les Bœufs | Ventre Unique | Les Disques Bongo Joe | 2024 | Amongst our fav. things from last year, this was released Nov 8, 2024... "Ventre Unique – their sixth, and the successor to 2021’s acclaimed We’re Ok But We’re Lost Anyway – is as exuberant as it is emotionally fraught with a dream amalgam of folk, krautrock, post-punk and African rhythms that feels both uncluttered and beautifully organic." --- "Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp is a perpetually evolving ‘orchestra’, loosely modelled on the great 20th-century African groups like Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou and tipping its hat to revolutionary French artist Marcel Duchamp." Bœuf = Ox, btw. "An ox is a castrated bull, more precisely a male domestic bovine (Bos taurus) that has undergone castration as part of its breeding. As they have become calmer, these animals are mainly intended for the production of robust animals for cattle traction or beef production. This practice is becoming less common in the West, but it was once the main meat, hence the generic name "beef", or more simply "beef", still commonly used to refer to all kinds of beef in everyday language." https://otpmd.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:08:45 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
De Kift | Dageraad | Niemandsland | Self-Released | 2024 | Released Nov 14, 2024. "De Kift is a Dutch musical ensemble that was formed in 1988. Their music might be best classified as fanfare with influences of rock and punk. The band is closely connected to and befriended with The Ex with whom they did several projects together." ////"De Kift is a poetic nine-piece fanfare-punk band from the Netherlands. Boundless energy, theatrics, intimacy, melancholy and euphoria intertwine and alternate effortlessly during the controlled on-stage chaos created by the band. Bizarre rhythms, guitars, horns and unusual instruments, plus Dutch song lyrics that consist of playful fragments of world literature. Next to the Dutch, Russian and French ones, there are also English, Irish and American authors such as William Shakespeare, Jack Kerouac, Samuel Beckett, and Flannery O' Connor making their regular appearance in the lyrics. De Kift brings a melancholy mood, to laugh and to cry, stomp and dance. For almost thirty years De Kift’s performances transcend language, style and time." //// Dageraad = "Dawn" in Dutch. //// This release does not appear to yet be on Bandcamp, but most of their catalogue is: https://dekift.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:11:21 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
Church Chords | Recent Mineral | elvis, he was Schlager | Otherly Love Records | 2024 | Released Feb 2024. "...full-length album from Stephen Buono’s Church Chords on Otherly Love Records. To say the project is built upon collaboration is to understate things, with the wide ensemble of musicians which constitutes Church Chords fundamental to its very existence. Devin Hoff (Julia Holter, Sharon Van Etten), John Herndon (Tortoise, A Grape Dope) and Ben Boye (Ty Segall, Bonnie “Prince” Billy) helped craft the core of the record before Buono enlisted a seemingly endless list of guests including the likes of Sam Barsh (Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar), Nels Cline (Wilco), Jeff Parker (Tortoise), Mark Shippy (US Maple), Josh Johnson (Leon Bridges’ musical director), Kenny Wollesen (Bill Frisell, Tom Waits) and Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoebe Bridgers). //// In the end, Buono stepped back to allow the accumulated talent to do the talking. Becoming less of a creative leader of the project as the conductor shaping its potential into its best form. A communal form of songwriting which throws ego out at the door and instead pushes every available element towards its highest potential... ....Take the comparatively up-tempo ‘Recent Mineral’. With Portuguese lyrics written by Ricardo Dias Gomes and sung by Genevieve Artadi, the song feels very different from the others. A shifting electro pop made dark and surreal with the drawl of distorted guitar." https://churchchords.bandcamp.com/album/elvis-he-was-schlager | 1:14:45 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Coffin Prick | Loose Enchantment | Loose Enchantment | Temporal Drift | 2024 / 2025 | Released December 13, 2024 - "Loose Enchantment—the forthcoming Coffin Prick record—is music conceived of in a different frame of mind for humans living in a world nearly-disenchanted with itself. The title track is representative of the album’s DNA, unmistakably anchored by layers of sideways guitars, basses, synthesizers, insistent drum machines, and abstract lyrical ruminations. The full album is coming in 2025. //// All words and music written, recorded, and performed by Coffin Prick at Pancho’s Dome, Los Angeles, CA, 2023. //// Additional vocals by Kathy Lea. //// Mixed by Mike Kriebel at Abbey Road West, Los Angeles, CA, October 2024. //// Mastered by Dave Cooley at Elysian Masters. //// https://coffinprick.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:18:51 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
Edvard Graham Lewis | Last Scene | Alreet? | Upp | 2024 / 2025 | Wire bassist Edvard Graham Lewis has announced that he will release a new solo album, Alreet?, through Upp Records on January 24. //// At the same time Lewis has shared the first new music from the album, whose title refers to the time-honoured cheery North Eastern greeting. Last Scene Of All typifies the new album's art rock stance, experimental, with echoes of Scott Walker and Bowie, and the odd reminder that Lewis is part of the Godfathers of post-rock. //// Alreet? has been co-produced with Swedish songwriter, producer and musician Max Lorentz, who has previously worked with ABBA’s Agnetha Faltskog. It also features contributions from Wire bandmates Matthew Simms and Robert Grey, cello by Kevin Kirs Vestege, hurdy-gurdy by Harald Pettersson and guitars sampled from ex-Wire member Bruce Gilbert." https://edvardgrahamlewis.bandcamp.com/ | * | 1:23:16 (MP3 | Pop-up) |

Fleur | L'Amour! | Fille Sauvage | Soundflat Records | 2024 | One of my favourite releases of 2024, as evidenced by how many tracks we've played. Fleur: For me, personally, this album was exactly what I needed. People who’ve seen me play live will acknowledge that I’m high energy on stage. Kind of like the Tasmanian Devil from Looney Tunes, if you know what I mean. And the upcoming album has that energy. It’s less girly, less sweet, and more power and punk. It’s like growing up. The third album sheds our sweet candy wrapping but keeps the sound. We move outside that ‘60s box—less France Gall, more Debbie Harry. I’m not a little girl anymore; I’m a woman now. So yes, it will indeed be different from the previous albums, but it’s still “Fleur.” | 1:37:27 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Fulo Miziki | Bopeto | Mokano EP | Moshi Moshi Records | 2024 | Fulu Miziki is a collective of artists who comes straight from a future where humans have reconciled with mother earth and with themselves. This multidisciplinary collective of artists is based in the heart of the Congolese capital city Kinshasa. For several years now, our members have spent an amount of time conceptualising an orchestra made from objects found in the trash, constantly changing instruments, always in search of new sounds. Making our own performance costumes, masks and instruments is essential to their approach of Fulu Miziki’s musical ideology. Our unique sound supports a pan-African message of artistic liberation, peace and a severe look at the ecological situation of the Democratic Republic of Congo... | 1:39:32 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Dragged Up | Missing Person | High on Ripple | DU Recs | 2024 | I think my new 2025 thing might be surf post punk. ‘High on Ripple connects the lofi garage sound that can also be heard on previous releases, which is reminiscent of the flair of sleazy low budget films of the early 60s, with rich, against-the-grain punk, classic doom metal influences and recited poetry to a dense brew’...Sort of Dead Moon meets The Slits. Distinctive elements of originality, bags of attitude here, loose & slovenly one moment, tight & geometric the next’...they are from Glasgow which is looking to be my 2025 Australia.... | 1:42:50 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
Outer World | Outer World | Who Does the Music Love? | HHBTM Music | 2024 | Who wouldn’t want a break from Planet Earth after the past few years we’ve all had? Kenneth Close and Tracy Wilson have built themselves a new universe in the form of a home recording studio to transport themselves a galaxy away from the grief, fear, and worry the pandemic brought. The duo dubbed themselves Outer World and they blasted off into an entirely new to them corner of the musical universe to create their debut album Who Does the Music Love? Tucked into the layers of Who Does the Music Love? is a century of recorded music from all over the world. We find the dynamic swing of a Swedish soul jazz singer on top of Bond-worthy spy themes. We hear the sensuality of France in the 60s, when in swaggers a wink to 90s house music. There is a tug-of-war between 70s angular post-punk and experimental Brazilian psych. Cosmic Jazz, noisecore, freakbeat breaks, space-age bachelor pad Moog mayhem, and the treatment of the iconic retro-future group Broadcast as a genre and chosen family. This diverse blend represents just some of Outer World’s psychedelic garage-pop points of inspiration. It is music to make any crate digger’s heart skip a beat. | 1:46:40 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |
March - Al Baabi Dub Remix | Dub Remixes & Instrumentals | Juniore | Le Phonographe | 2024 | A wonderful companion to a 2024 release that again, tops my best of the year list....Jean’s 1990s childhood, during which she spent a lot of time in the United States, has always impacted her musical output. During our discussion, I noticed that the songwriter would often link whatever she was talking about back to the world of film and television, something that she said was an integral part of her upbringing. “Being a kid in the ’90s, I think we grew up watching a lot of TV,” she said. “I think our parents didn’t have babysitters; they just had a television, so we watched a lot of films.” This fact should come as no surprise to anybody who has listened to Juniore, as their work has always maintained a certain cinematic quality. Explaining this innate tenet to Juniore’s discography, Anna Jean theorised, “I think we grew up thinking that our lives were like films. So everything was very romanticised. We made a soundtrack to our own imaginary films where we were losers but with charm. You know, charming losers. I think that’s how we make music. It’s as if it were the soundtrack to our very obscure loser films.” | * | 1:49:34 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
Music behind DJ: Dick Hyman, Mary Mayo |
Moon Gas |
Moon Gas |
UMG |
1963 |
Moon Gas, a 1963 collaboration between pianist and organist Dick Hyman and singer Mary Mayo, hits the center of the space age genre directly, with its dreamy tunes; haunting, melancholic vocal melodies; and groovy, swinging compositions that invite the listener to an easy dance. Strange little sounds whistle and sparkle around the rather uncomplicated, easy-listening, jazz-pop compositions. The songs alone would certainly be on par with the best contemporary hit tunes of their age, but what really makes them outstanding is this combination with the sound-world of a space laboratory or starship. |

Boyhood | Magic | Shells EP | Boyhood | 2024 | Just released this past November... Boyhood crafts slow, moody, and haunting alt-pop with an unmistakable 80s synth edge. Belleville, Ontario’s born-and-raised Caylie Runciman has been putting out music under the moniker Boyhood since 2014. Coming of age in Ottawa, Ontario, her solo project’s defiant take on low-fi has defined Caylie as a force to be reckoned with. Bad Mantras reaffirms Caylie’s reputation as a total powerhouse holds true. " If you’re a woman and you feel not good, I’ve got your fucking back. Everything is going to be okay. Keep your head up high. I know that’s tiring because we always have to do that. But the sun always rises! *She pauses* I know there is way more darkness in that. I’m still trying to figure it out myself" | * | 1:57:56 (MP3 | Pop-up) |
