neddyoAfter a too long hiatus, I'm bringing back some new music recs, trying focus on things off radar, but will mix in some low hanging fruit. I'll bounce around genre, etc as much as possible. See how it goes. Gonna shoot for one album each weekday, but may forget every once in a while.
2024.1
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!

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!

Vague Plot: Crying in 9
Missed yesterday, but hopefully make up for it with this excellent debut I'm pretty sure isn't on your radar. Instrumental tape-is-rolling studio jams from this new Brooklyn quintet. Focused + exploratory both, I def think you'll dig. I have plans the night of their next gig, thinking hard about changing them! Enjoy!

Lau Noah: A Dos
Guitarist/vocalist with an album full of duet pieces with a slew of A-list duo partners. From Chris Thile to Cecile McLorin Salvant and beyond. Lots of different nuances, all tied together with a glowing, warm energy from Lau. You know she's special if she got all those guests for her debut full-Length. Good vibes for the whole fam. Enjoy!

The Sorcerers: I Too Am a Stranger
Not just afrobeat, but the dankesy, darkest afrobeat you'll find. Not happy, let's-dance funky, but more like evil-lurks-within funk. Lots of baritone sax and irresistible groove. This outfit from Leeds always crushes, but this one feels a little extra. Enjoy!

Ella Ronen: The Girl With No Skin
I discovered this one because Sam Cohen plays on one of the tracks & I kind of love everything he does. Well, he produced the whole album and brings his good stuff to the whole record. But this Swiss songwriter also brings lots of it on her own. Lovely pieces with a nice dose of lush oomph. Fun & wonder. Enjoy!

Randal Fisher + Dexter Story: Wenge
This one is tough to categorize. I hesitate to say "jazz" - preconceived notions and whatnot, but this starts from a jazzlike place and branches out to all sorts of interesting places. Easily digestible ideas and grooves. If it catches you right, it'll definitely catch you.... Enjoy!

John Craigie with TK & the Holy Know-Nothings: Pagan Church
Craigie is an excellent folk songwriter with a deep love for Beatles and a witty storyteller's worldview. TK et al are a raw country rock band. Together is about what you'd expect, with excellent + raw results. And if you ever have a chance to see JC live, his banter is A++. Enjoy!

Simon Hanes: Tsons of Tsunami
Thank goodness Tzadik releases are available to stream so now everyone has access to wildly creative music like this. Hanes is a sonic polymath, at times making the heaviest shit imaginable, others thoughtfully melodic. This is a little bit of both, but with lots of great vibraphone. Something different for ya, but trust me, quite good. 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!

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.

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 Amsterdam band used to be pure afrobeat but have slowly morphed into an electrogroove band with some smarts and depth.

Sometimes feels like there's no one doing just straight kick-ass rock and roll no more. Well, this Atlanta trio kicks ass, rocks, straight fire. Dense with the riffs, intelligent, but straight-up.

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.

As far as I can tell this is the project of drummer Lucien Chatin, who backs Brit folkies like This is the Kit & Rozi Plain. Both of those show up to sing (and their sonic presence is felt throughout), but each track is like a different scene from a singular dream. Always interesting when you get the drummer's creative vision and this doesn't disappoint. Enjoy!

from the album Hex
Jfrites@Neddyo trying it out.
Eli@Neddyo definitely one of the best live releases this year
@Neddyo Just used one of the tracks in my music league this week.
Good grooves.
Chris@Neddyo fun album, thanks
Boney Diego@Neddyo those are good friends of mine. They are currently on what they are calling a hiatus, but I'm hoping they come back! Glad you dig 'em
