Taroug – Najet Spellbinding and hypnotic new work from German-Tunisian composer Taroug. I’m currently recovering after minor abdominal surgery, and this is exactly the kind of thing I need right now: music that feels soulful and intelligent, presenting just enough of a challenge for the listener to keep me alert from under the veil of […] The post From the Mailbox 48 first appeared on Palms Out Sounds.

I had actually planned to write much more. Surprisingly, it seems that even for me, a regular day only has 24 hours 🤷🏼Over the past few weeks, I've been spending a lot of time with the band, because next week our new EP is being released – for the first time on vinyl. There's a big release party with live music. Come by, we need to pack the place! To celebrate, we've come up with T-shirt designs, created a new banner with a special feature, stickers, posters… Phew. I did a lot of it because...

Because I am who I am, I had a bunch of topical posts done and lined up before we even left for our trip to Hong Kong and Japan last month. And of course life being what it is, I forgot about them. Or some of them. Well, one of them. This one was meant […] The post ヨツドメノディ -『escape』 appeared first on Space Echo.

Neil Young & Ten Men Workin’ - Kiva Auditorium, Albuquerque, New Mexico, October 25, 1988While putting together this week’s Brigid Mae Power episode of All One Song, I thought to myself: “Has Neil ever played ‘Albuquerque’ in Albuquerque?” (Hey, these are the things that occupy my mind while the world hangs in balance, what can I say.) Well, it turns out he has played it in ABQ … but only once! And it was during an extremely random time in his career — the fall 1988 tour with Ten Men Workin’!...

MorgonglödOut 27th March on Vidfare/NoEvDia Mortuus, aka Daniel Rostén, continues his habit of saving his best for well outside the Marduk roadshow. This is the third album released under the DomJord moniker, his own contribution to the long tradition of black metal artists dabbling in various ambient side projects. Being a relatively late comer to... Continue Reading →

A bunch of new-to-me music with a super secret theme

Lately, I’ve been working a lot outside. We’ve built a pergola, covered a concrete cylinder used as a well with stones and old bricks… and I’ve listened to a lot of music. Metal music. Specifically, post-metal music. The latest Neurosis album made me (re?)discover a playlist that contains some gems. I hardly appreciate some of them, but definitely have others on loop. Jesu is one of my favorite discoveries, and Boris were quite a surprise too! It’s particularly juxtaposing to listen to this…

Quick thoughts on Faunts' so-far final EP

A long long time ago, in a country far far away, I went to a Steely Dan concert. It was a gift (bought voluntarily, and out of the blue) from my then-boyfriend, during a visit to his family home in … Continue reading →

A journalist and author who documented, and took active part in, the late `70s cross over of reggae and punk, Vivien Goldman wrote for most of the UK’s music press, and worked for Island Records doing Bob Marley’s PR.  Punk / post-punk royalty, and now a professor at NYU and Rutgers, as a vocalist Goldman […]

I discovered Polish folk music on YouTube that I genuinely enjoyed. Then I found out it was AI-generated, and I stopped listening. I'm still not sure why.

BoC might be teasing new music, according to the internets; apparently a bunch of mysterious VHS tapes have been released from Warp Records, their label, featuring audio samples that sound vaguely Boards-adjacent. It has been over a decade since they released Tomorrow’s Harvest, which is way too damn long. (previously)

I was listening to all of Barbara Morgenstern’s albums chronologically today (she’s fantastic), and as usual when Night-Time Falls started, I paid extra attention, because I just can’t believe those lyrics. I mean, Morgenstern usually does a mix of earnestness and bizarre, almost psychedelic dead-pan humour in her lyrics — constant shifts between reality and … Continue reading Somebody on the Internet is wrong

The Clean - Lincoln Hall, Chicago, Illinois, August 18, 2014I pretty much devoured In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, Richard Langston’s new biography/oral history of The Clean. Everything a fan could want — and more! Of course, it’s sent me on a Clean listening bender, digging back into the early classics and the late-period masterworks. And live stuff, too, including a fantastic Aadam Jacobs tape at Lincoln Hall in Chicago from what I believe was the band’s last US tour in 2014. “By 2...

"She Thinks I Still Care" by George Jones Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio element. Post one of your favorite sad songs. - She Thinks I Still Care I first heard this song on James Taylor's live album from the mid-90s. JT's version is great (of course) but George Jones' original is the real tear jerker. This is one of the few tunes I'm able to harmonize, so it's a sing out loud favorite of mine.
