Texas and its psychedelic rock—a long-standing tradition that has given rise to many great bands. With their second album, Enabilizer (P.U.G.), The Albinos are ready to write another chapter. The Houston-based band quickly loses itself in the hypnotic swirl we’ve come to love—bubbling, warping sounds from other dimensions, with just…

Video: Agriculture – Bodhidharma
A band that’s not afraid to let country morph into black metal—Agriculture are always good for a surprise. And that’s exactly what we’re expecting from their upcoming album. The Spiritual Sound (The Flenser) is set for release on October 3. The first single, “Bodhidharma,” already makes it clear that we’re…

New Single: Useless Eaters – EGO SHELL/RUB
In a way, Useless Eaters—led by Seth Sutton—were part of the garage rock explosion of the late 2000s and early 2010s. The band originally started out in Memphis, releasing records on Goner and Castle Face. Later came the move to San Francisco, and in 2017, the project came to a…

Video: Lorelle Meets The Obsolete – Regresar / Recordar
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete set rock aside some time ago. Now, the duo from Mexico is venturing into psych music that explores uncharted territory. On October 10, they’ll release a new album titled Corporal (Sonic Cathedral), continuing their sonic exploration. The first single, “Regresar / Recordar,” drifts into electronic realms—a…

New Song: OSEES – FIGHT SIMULATOR
Here they are again—what would a year be without a new OSEES record? This year’s release is titled ABOMINATION REVEALED AT LAST (Deathgod) and is set to drop on August 8. The first single, “FIGHT SIMULATOR,” hints at a departure from the synth-punk sound that dominated their recent work. The…

Review: SELF IMPROVEMENT – Syndrome
In times of crisis, solidarity reveals itself. A world on the brink demands that artists support one another—offering shelter, food, and spiritual guidance. Syndrome (Feel It), the new album by SELF IMPROVEMENT, is rooted in that spirit. The Los Angeles–based band embraces a collective approach throughout. The album was created…

Review: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Phantom Island
There’s little that King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard haven’t already done. A truly inexhaustible fountain of ideas seems to spring eternally from the ground in Australia. With Phantom Island (p(doom)), they’ve now released their first album featuring orchestral support. But don’t imagine it like Metallica’s experiment back in the…

Video: Los Palms – Sorrows
The Australian band that sounds like they crawled straight out of the California desert is back: Los Palms have completed a new album. The self-titled record is set for release on August 29 via Fuzz Club. Their second full-length promises to continue the tradition of Desert Jangle Rock, as hinted…

Review: Black Moth Super Rainbow – Soft New Magic Dream
We rarely find ourselves wandering through the strange sonic realms of Black Moth Super Rainbow. Their sound is warped pop, awash in distortion. The songs drift along, nudged in odd directions by bleeps, squeals, and glitchy detours. It’s been seven years since the last album. Since then, we’ve had TOBACCO…

Review: Paddang – Lost In Lizardland
It doesn’t get much more obvious: Paddang name one of their biggest influences right in the album title. Lost in Lizardland (Stolen Body / Le Cèpe / 98DB) is heavily shaped by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, as well as Thee Oh Sees in their early, rawer days. Somewhere…
