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!

2025.14
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!

2025.16
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
Keys-heavy psychgroove music from the UK is exactly what your life's been missing. These tracks are like from a dream, mutating and evolving, short vignettes and extended jams both. But mostly it's funky as heck. Betcha dig. Enjoy!

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. It's magical and mystical, an elevated, spiritual sound that's dreamlike without losing her characteristic groove. Enjoy!

Saltaré: Modes
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. Great compositions with fun arrangements (the "Spirited Away" theme!) and a nifty mix of instrumentation give this a uniquely sweet feel. Enjoy!

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!

Dylan Golden Aycock: No New Summers
OK guitarist with his most recent take on the American primitive genre. There's plenty of gorgeous acoustic pickin' pulled from larger improvisations, but also some interesting more experimental pieces mixed in. Aycock expands beyond the guitar & traditional methods to create some unique meditations & explorations. All tied together nicely. Enjoy!

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!

Amir Bresler: Tide and Time
This is like the piano jazz version of magical realism. Lovely progressive piano/bass/drum subtly becomes something more, grander, more... magical. The Israeli drummer working with pianist Nitai Hershkovits & producer Rejoicer create coherent compositions out of spontaneous studio experimenting. This is exactly what I want all my jazz to sound like. Dreamy. Enjoy!

Don Leisure: Tyrchu Sain
Don Leisure is a producer from Cardiff with a rather wide-reaching folk-to-hip-hop scope. Indeed, his latest is an "...and the kitchen sink" approach, but he seamlessly flows together 20 tracks with plenty of sweet beats, delicious hooks, and some Welsh whimsy along the way. 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). Like some wicked cross between Lucius and Rose City Band, sweet harmonies, some rocking out, interesting insertion of horns here and there, and the occasional French lyrics, but mostly just lovely all around. Enjoy!

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. Melodically dense and rhythmically funkified, it's larger than the sum of its three-man parts. And plenty of bite... enjoy!

ANAN: Room
This pair of Italian producers collaborate on a spectacular collection of psychedelic house music. Downtempo grooves with some jazzy excursions, the kind of album to put on in the cool-down late hours after a high energy night out or just for early eve relaxation or whenever the mood strikes. It's the putting on that's important, you're definitely gonna want to. Enjoy!

Alex Figueira: Colliding Layers
Heck, it's been a long week, let's keep things funky, eh? Figueira is sublime here, blending and mixing from his tropicalia and crate-digging roots, playing every instrument, and never losing a steady grasp on the groove. This is Friday in music form, dig it. Enjoy!

Piers Faccini & Ballaké Sissoko: Our Calling
There are few sounds quite as beautiful as a well-played kora and if the guy playing it is named Sissoko, all the better. Here Ballaké joins forces with folkie Faccini for a gorgeous meeting-of-the-minds blend of the two musicians strengths. It's beautiful & meditative & might make you think this world is worth living in & working to make better. Enjoy!

Jaco Jaco: Gremlin
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. Just the right oomph in the bass, just the right amount of fuzzy effects on the vox, just enough weirdness. Only thing that isn't just enough is the length: the short run time will have you wishing there was more. Enjoy!

Katy Pinke: Strange Behavior
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!

Aux Meadows: Draw Near
There's plenty of psychedelic country out there, but this trio has a unique take on dreamy twang or maybe it's twangy dream. The Oakland trio consists of lap steel, guitar, and synth and plays zone-out instrumentals in their own Venn diagram overlap region. It's light and easy and heady as heck. Enjoy!

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. It's appropriately bass-forward with short solo vignettes tying together a set of hefty compositions, occasionally "traditional" but mostly finding a voice of his own. Enjoy!

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. That is, if dense, bang-your-head-rhythm psychrock is your idea of heaven. Trust me, it's killer. Enjoy!

Neil Cowley Trio: Separate Entities
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!

Jeffrey Lewis: The EVEN MORE Freewheelin’ Jeffrey Lewis
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. You'll relate to half of it & probably be glad you don't relate to the other half. It's sweet, catchy, and sure to make you smile and laugh. Enjoy!

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!

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

Johnson writes loud quiet songs & quiet loud songs, and man, can he! A songwriter's songwriter, if you're not familiar w/ his many projects, perhaps you caught him on tour with Isbell or before that in Monsters of Folk or New Multitudes.

Dead Meadow: Voyager to Voyager
Dead Meadow has been doing the heavy psych thing for quite some time now and despite some ups & downs, they continue to deliver on their 10th studio LP. It comes weighted with tragedy as their bass player passed between recording & release. Hard not to focus on that fuzzy low end and how it complements some serious guitar riffs and power drumming. Shit rocks. Enjoy!

Bugge Wesseltoft: Am Are
Keyboardist Wesseltoft is prolific as heck and possessing some serious stylistic breadth. As such, this is already his second rec-worthy release of the year and it's appropriately all over the place. Piano meditations, inventive jazz trio work, synthfusion jams, and experimental explorations. Amongst others. It all works, some more than others. Enjoy!

Action & Tension & Space: New Dimensions
Eurojam perfection out of Norway. Your standard guitar, keys, bass, drum set-up takes you on a series of mind-bending, hair-raising psychedelic excursions. It's zone out music you can rock out to and rocking out music you can zone out to. I think you should listen to em all, of course, but this one is a must-listen, one of the so-far year's best. Enjoy!

The recommneds often looks to Northern Europe for sick psychedelic Eurojams, not for old school soul, but the pocket in this Helsinki band's debut is deep and incredibly comfy.
