The first track from the new LP by The Rrreverberationsss, who have been getting some attention lately from the likes of Julian Cope and WFMU. There’s some excellent clangin’ around here, as numerous guitars fill out a nice little psych ditty that gives me a New Zealand vibe.

A new track from Grass Widow that starts off pretty proggy and electro and turns into a nice rocker — new LP out soon. It’s tagged with the name Phil Manley, that could be a Trans Am production influence I assume?
Plums are at it again – here’s a new video promoting their residency at Dynasty in DC, and some additional dates:

Check out several cool noise/experimental LPs that my bro @Marcissist put out over the years on his Crank Automotive label, freshly uploaded.
