Yesness: See You at the Solipsist Convention
Kristian Dunn one half of the post-rock duo El Ten Eleven has started a new post-rock duo that sounds a bit like... El Ten Eleven, if you can believe it! It's a darn good thing as he and drummer Damon Che make triumphant, mathy instrumental music with some serious bounce that'll have you saying yes. Enjoy!

Clem Snide, Oh Smokey
Eef Barzelay (aka Clem Snide) has been writing ridiculously good songs for a couple decades, but this may very well be his best. Poignant, lovely songwriting and a sound that's dead center between lush and sparse. Folky production courtesy of Josh Kaufman, it sounds good, it feels good, it is good. Enjoy!

Salvator Dragatto: Thoughts of You
Released late last year, this alter ego of producer Joseph Reina is inspired by black and white photography. Sounds strange, but you can actually hear it. This one plays like the high-contrast shadows in a film noir, short and engaging tracks like scenes from a single story. Shades of gray, some mystery, and plenty of cinematic groove. Enjoy!

Early James: Medium Raw
Two weeks in & we're ready to dip into some '25 releases, like the newest from EJ. The Alabaman sits comfortably in the spot where country, blues, folk became rock & roll. Latest is more acoustic, but no less primitive & gritty with a voice & songwriting style to match. Medium raw indeed. One of those guys that feels like should be bigger, maybe one day. Until then... Enjoy!

Jakob Bro: Taking Turns
Bro is like the Danish Bill Frisell, so having Bill sharing guitar duties on his album is like a fresh coat of snow on an already frosty landscape. This is indeed wintertime jazz: cool, sparse, quiet, beautiful. An impressive band (Konitz! Moran! Morgan! Cyrille!) follows Jakob through unfolding sonic meditations, thoughtful music for the mindful listener. Enjoy!

Ben Chapman: Downbeat
Released mid-December, this one might've gotten missed in the year-end hubbub, which would be a darn shame. Chapman's latest is, in my opinion, cosmic country perfection, threading the needle between Isbell and Sturgill with killer songs and a killer sound. Ending with a chef's-kiss Dylan cover, every track is a keeper. Enjoy!

Sam Cohen: Continuum
So far, my favorite music released in 2025 is this one, the 2nd release in his Slow Fawn series. Working with Stuart Bogie + Photay, tracks blend one to the next, lines between instruments, sounds, genres blurred, a true continuum. Barely 15 minutes long, a singular vision with a triumphant coda, but you can listen on repeat and continually discover new goodies within. Enjoy!

Will Stewart: 90 Acre Farm
I'm a sucker for a covers album & I'm a sucker for anything Morphine related, so stands to reckon I'd be way into this EP of Morphine covers. Stewart imagines these as alt-country songs, giving a stripped-down feel even while fleshing out the dark songwriting. If you don't know Morphine well, go immerse yourself in "Cure for Pain" posthaste. If you do... Enjoy!

Chris Joss: Classic Lineup
Pick any 30 sec stretch from this & you're almost guaranteed to be moving some part of your body before the final tick. Joss finds an addictive groove, works it for all it's worth & then on to the next, the listener moving from one warming tray to another in a delicious funk buffet. Released last Dec, this is why you should never make a year-end list before Xmas. Enjoy!

Himalion: WYSIATI
Explicitly inspired and encouraged by Robin Pecknold and featuring drummer JT Bates throughout, Portuguese songwriter Diogo Sarabando creates an art folk dense with lush orchestration, all his own while still, at times, strongly reminiscent of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, and the like. The title stands for "what you see is all there is" and there's plenty here to chew on. Enjoy!

Twoosty Mayonez: Niezłe Bagno
Polish synth/drums duo with a new psychedelic jazz weird-out that's possibly part of a grander sci-fi story? Who's not into that? Sure, it's a story so epic it has both a prologue *and* an introduction, but once it gets rolling, it's a darkly ominous, occasionally epic electric thing. Plenty of guest musicians and vocalists fill out the sound. Check it and... Enjoy!

Brown Spirits: Cosmic Seeds
More heavy stuff from Down Under. Like Eurojam, spiritual jazz, and funk got mixed together in some hellacious music laboratory. Seamlessly shifts between psychedelic and groove, you barely even notice except to snap out of the zone every once in a while to say "good shit!" and then right back into it. Enjoy!

Benjamin Booker: Lower
Booker is a classic "what happened to that guy?" guy and, I looked it up, it's been quite a few years since his last release. The latest builds on his rootsy bluesy indie rock with scribbles of Radioheadesqueness and the snarls of political bent. As it was then, it's the songs and the voice that make it. And hopefully here to stay. Enjoy!

Songhoy Blues: Héritage
On one hand, there's a glut of Malian desert blues out there. On the other hand, it's all pretty amazing with each artist & album creating something wonderfully unique. On Héritage, these stalwarts go acoustic and without the heaviness of electric fuzz, the music is light and pastel vibrant with a crisp separation between all the contributing sounds. What a delight! Enjoy!

Carl Allen: Tippin'
Judge a man by the company he keeps goes especially true for jazz recordings. So if the band on your album is Chris Potter + Christian McBride, you must be doing something right. Drummer Allen definitely is, providing a set filled with lots of warmth, space for each guy to shine, & plenty of straight bop. The recording sounds real nice, fit for the old school vibe. Enjoy!

numün: Opening
Not sure how to categorize this one, somewhere near the intersection of classical, ambient, and post-rock maybe? It's moody, pensive, somber but triumphant. Lots of interesting sounds from guitars, strings, and who-knows-what. Gentle music with teeth, for those who need some of that. Enjoy!

John Zorn Bagatelles: Mary Halvorson Quartet
One facet of Zorn's genius is matching his music to the right musicians, a potion master combining ingredients. Always magic of some sort, but occasionally it transcends. This transcends. Halvorson going guitar-to-guitar w/ Okazaki, a monster rhythm section of Fujiwara + Gress. Together they lay waste to quaint notions like jazz & rock. Unreal. Enjoy!

Krokofant: 6
Fusion trio from Norway and... Are we sure this is a trio? The sound on here is *massive*, occasionally feeling like a brass band on LSD or a psychedelic prog-rock ensemble with a jazzed twist. They give the energy of a band that knocked the wind out of you on a sidestage at a mid-aughts jam festival. In the best way imaginable. Enjoy!

Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains: Âge Fleuve
Slight change of pace for your Friday pick. Here's some delightful sounds out of France. Elements of indie rock and synth pop with a tinge of jazz. There's a sweetness and romanticism to these songs, even though I have no idea what they're singing about. Each one has something to grab the ear. Enjoy!

Antti Lötjönen & Kalle Kalima: Stings, Bites and Scratches
Exercises in both form and formlessness found within. The Helsinki jazz guitarist and bassist explore, react and interact in pieces that find focus and playfully lose it again. Let your mind wander with the musicians. Enjoy!

Black Flower: Kinetic
More great music from Europe, this time progressive afrobeat from Belgium. Their sound is relatively light for the genre, giving it a lively feel that's more focused on melody than groove. Although it grooves pretty darn good too. It's smart and it's funky and it's pretty spectacular. Enjoy!

Blue Lake: Weft
More sick tunes from across the Atlantic. Blue Lake is Copenhagen's Jason Dungan who plays stringed instruments like homemade zithers and acoustic guitars of varying provenance. Layered on top of each other and sometimes mixing in guests, he creates gorgeous, uplifting, soulful instrumental music that massages just the part of your brain where you need it most. Enjoy!

Steven R Smith: Triecade
Smith leads a one-man guitar/bass/keys/drums quartet through some rather spectacular instrumental pieces. Each gives a different vibe, but there's a common sonic thread running through them all. Genres and styles come and go (occasionally feeling like the composed-on-the-fly middle of an inspired jamband excursion) but it's all a go go go. Enjoy!

Matt Berry: Heard Noises
Not many albums have guests as different as Fruit Bats and Natasha Lyonne (!?), but somehow it fits actor/musician Berry's vibe here quite well. The sound is a delightful Beatlespsych pop with about a zillion hooks, plenty of groove, and an adventurous spirit. It's all good, but a couple of these tracks are seriously on-repeat worthy. Enjoy!

Bugge Wesseltoft + Henrik Schwarz: Oh!
Two masters of improvised piano, live in concert on two grand pianos. It's a short EP, but it's twice as dense as a solo piano record, so it balances out. Delightful, deep-vision interplay with some on-the-fly digitalia. Enjoy!

The Natural Yogurt Band & The Oracle: Nebulous

Stein Urheim: Speilstillevariasjoner
Having never seen him, guitarist Urheim strikes me as a Norse Marc Ribot, comfortable in myriad settings, always leaving his mark. This runs the gamut from striking beauty to fully discordant and many points in between. He's recruited an interesting slate of guests including allstar weirdos like Sam Gendel & Ikue Mori. A fascinating set of guitar music. Enjoy!

Freckle: Freckle
Ty Segall is so prolific, he finds new side projects underneath his couch cushions. He hooks up with Corey Madden from Color Green for his latest. The sound gives off glam vibes, like if Mott the Hoople was formed in an LA garage. Of course, there's plenty of good old fashioned psych rock guitar mixed in. It's definitely a side project, but it's Segall, so it's damn good. Enjoy!

Mama Terra: Chameleons
The subtitle of this one is "Live Interpretations of Herbie Hancock" and that pretty much sums it up. A live recording of a bunch of Hancock's most recognizable grooves, and damn groovy it is. Female vocals add an extra layer of sexy and what's not to love? Always happy to pass on recs made to me, like this one. So send em or leave em in the comments if you got em... Enjoy!

Vera Sola: Ghostmaker
This EP is a companion to Sola's latest LP which came out last year, reworking a handful of those tracks with some new mixed in. It includes guest spots from Milk Carton Kids and Marissa Nadler, perfectly matched to the haunting, sparse cowboy folk. It's just a taste, but it's an oaky, barrel-finished one for sure. Enjoy!

Ivan the Tolerable: Nocturnes
This dude puts out a lot of music and it's all pretty damn good and kind of all over the place. Many of them are with a full band, but this is just one guy, although not sure how you'd tell. It's like watching a lava lamp do its thing. Slow rising bubbles of psychedelic groove wobble their way up through the ether only to be replaced by another and another... Enjoy!

Mandrake Handshake: Earth-Sized Worlds
This is a great companion to yesterday's rec, another band out of the UK doing a lot of things and doing them very well. Debut full length from this large-format band is an attention-deficit dance through genres: psychjazz, krautrock, surfgroove and whatever other hybrid combination you can think of. Lots to sink your teeth into or bop along to. Enjoy!

Motorpsycho: s/t
I'm generally of the opinion that if your album is longer than 45 minutes, it might be too long. I'll make an exception to this one which is 80 mins of rocking from the veteran Norway band. There's a track on here that's over 20 & one that's barely 3 & along the way they hyphenate "rock" every which way from psych- to kraut- to good old classic- and more, so much more. Enjoy!

Yazz Ahmed: A Paradise in the Hold
Jazz trumpeter Ahmed always feels like a breath of fresh ideas. On her latest she mixes progressive Britjazz with the folklore of her native Bahrain, adding vocals for the first time.

Randomly caught (and enjoyed!) these guys in Boston a couple years back so it's nice to rec their debut album. A fun genre-blend that brings together progressive bluegrass with folk and classical.

SFJ: Drifting
Here today to put this excellent music on your radar. Duo out of the UK making mostly instrumental music. The feel is sprawling and cinematic, the soundtrack to your favorite movie, but the genre jumps from detective to romance to dark comedy to French noir. Highly listenable with an addictive groove running throughout. One of my favorites of the year so far. Enjoy!

Sean Thompson's Weird Ears: Head in the Sand
Sounding a bit like Garcia and Weir dosed the entire honky tonk and then proceeded to commandeer the house band, Weird Ears is psychedelic country at its finest. Jammy and twangy and a hoot and a holler and a half, this is a real fun one. If you're on the Daniel Donato train or even if you ain't, give this one a listen or two and enjoy!

OK guitarist with his most recent take on the American primitive genre.

Zement: Passagen
After the first 15 seconds of this one, you think you have kind of an idea of what this German duo got, an updated motorik sound. Sure, there's that, but there's so much more. Each zig is countered by an equally compelling zag, afrobeat turns to krautrock, jazz freakout to psychedelic electrofunk. It's brilliantly constructed and easy to love. Enjoy!

Wrong Way Up: Totally Right
The opening track is called "Hang On to Your Kool" and whatever "kool" is, this release is positively oozing with it. This synth duo is from Australia, but the sound is purely African, and it's funky as all heck. It's impossible not to enjoy this. I mean, you're welcome to try, but it'll probably only make you feel kooler. Enjoy!

This is like the piano jazz version of magical realism. Lovely progressive piano/bass/drum subtly becomes something more, grander, more... magical.

This is exactly what I want all my jazz to sound like. Dreamy. Enjoy!

Don Leisure is a producer from Cardiff with a rather wide-reaching folk-to-hip-hop scope.

With a little help from some friends. Cool stuff. Enjoy!

Echolalia: Echolalia
There's so much talent in Nashville that occasionally (often!) you get some magic like this one, just by the sheer statistical mechanics of the community there. Sidemen joining forces for a greater-than-the-sum ensemble. Laurel Canyon psychfolk meets United Kingdom Britfolk with just the right dose of pedal steel. There's a lot to discover, hopefully more to come. Enjoy!

BASIC: Dream City
Chris Forsyth is maybe best known for his ability to, for lack of a better term, *shred*. So it's noteworthy that his latest project is more Eno than Crazy Horse. The band has already evolved in its short life and the latest guitar-bass-percussion trio is 90% rhythm: komische grooves, almost tribal. If anything, this EP is too short, but it works plenty well on repeat. Enjoy!

Cinema Royal: Cinema Royal
This rec is kinda like the combination of two recent picks. Essentially if the Amir Bresler album
& the Basic album had a kid, you'd have the magical trancejazz of Cinema Royal. It features Bresler's collaborators Rejoicer & Nitai Hershkovits, so it's not surprising. Elements of electronica + ambient blend with piano jazz for results both hypnotic & groove-laden. Enjoy!

Gunn-Truscinski Duo: Flam
Steve Gunn has as many facets as he has frets on his guitar. While I dig all of em, from song-y Gunn to jazzfreakout Gunn, it's his quiet/pensive/gorgeous stuff that's my favorite. To that end, his semi-regular duo output w/ drummer Truscinski continues to be some of his most compelling music. Their latest is a freeflow of ambient hallucinations, beautiful & weird. Enjoy!

Man, I have no idea where I discovered this one and there is scant information about it anywhere, but man, what a delight of indiefolk (I guess).

Los Pirañas: Una Oportunidad más de triunfar en la vida
Colombian "supergroup" trio lays down some Latin instrumental perfection here. South American psychedelic meets cumbia dance party with plenty of other spices thrown in for good measure.

It's the putting on that's important, you're definitely gonna want to. Enjoy!

If you're a fan of Unknown Mortal Orchestra's early albums (and you should be!), you'll dig this one. Psychpop out of Philly that hits everything *just* right.

Only thing that isn't just enough is the length: the short run time will have you wishing there was more. Enjoy!

The first line sung is "giving you head on the bed" which is definitely a choice. Even so, Pinke's lyrics are more quirky and sweet than provocative. Musically, the singer-songwriter has surrounded herself with an A-team of NYC talent, including personal fave Jeremy Gustin on drums. Combined, it's lush and lively with plenty of hidden treasures throughout. Enjoy!

There's plenty of psychedelic country out there, but this trio has a unique take on dreamy twang or maybe it's twangy dream.

Billy Mohler: The Eternal
Bassist Billy Mohler delivers some excellent jazz-adjacent, sprouting from a growing west coast community. The quartet features he's-everywhere Jeff Parker on guitar.

Curtis Hasselbring: The Curhachestra
Hasselbring, aka Curha, is often the secret weapon in whatever band he's playing in, on both trombone & guitar. So it makes sense that his own band is full of NYC secret weapons, including a guest appearance by Nels Cline. Curha's unique aesthetic is a sonic collage of traditional rock and jazz motifs, like half a big band got waylaid in a garage. Enjoy!

Futuropaco: Fortezza Di Vetro, Vol. 2
Perhaps the king of Eurojams is the El Paraiso label. Everything they put out is heavy psych heaven. Even when the music is from ye olde USA like Justin Pinkerton who operates out of Oakland as Futuropaco. His latest one-man concoction is, indeed, heavenly.

This may be the shortest rec yet. A 3-track EP that's barely 10 mins long. Yet Cowley & his piano trio cover a lot of sonic ground and give a good summary of their progressive jazz+ sound. In some ways, this is the postscript to last year's full length release, but it works even better as an intro to the group. So start here, continue to explore, and... enjoy!

Probably everything you need to know about Lewis is contained in the opening track to his latest. The embodiment of NYC neuroses laid bare in folk form. Honest, funny and poignant all at once.

The Lewis Express with Chip Wickham: Doo-Ha!
The Lewis Express is a coming-together of musicians from various groups and releases on the oft-recommned'd ATA label out of Leeds. Formidable on their own, they're joined by flute groovemeister Wickham and the results are a boogie-down jam. Flavors of the 70's with CTI energy mixed with a peak Herbie Mann sound. It's a mood and a half. Enjoy!

Either the water or the socialized medicine, but they're doing something right in Scandinavia breeding heady shit like this band out of Sweden.
