jesse jarnow...now resuming, a rolling/occasional thread of new(ish) jams & releases i'm enjoying. #music
bold move to put out an album in august titled "august" that successfully channels august (& especially mellow late august evenings), but good for scree, who at least put out "jasmine on a night in july" in spring. airy floating jazz, ala super gentle frisell. https://screeband.bandcamp.com/album/august
August, by Scree

i think the submissives might be on hiatus, but delightful weirdo rock, like an all-women "freak out" era mothers with the shaggs knob turned up slightly (minus the disjointedness), or maybe like an expanded version of the late great grass widow. https://submissives.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-value-sound-studios
Live At Value Sound Studios, by The Submissives

i've been dreaming of a pedal steel led jamming band for so long that i think at first i may've been a tad suspicious of the barry walker unit (the rose city band reconfigured), but this is some deep, gorgeous improv & i'm happy to be in their dream instead.

aburtch@bourgwick This is the guy from North Americans! Very cool. Thanks for surfacing. Can't wait to listen.
@aburtch a lovely band, but this feels more genuinely open-ended.
@bourgwick I just finished and I loved it. Giving me Luke Schneider vibes. And I agree, more of an improve feeling like Setting over the song structure of North Americans.
