Thee Oh Sees – Putrifiers II Thee Oh Sees, if you’re not familiar, pump out awesome garage psych albums like they’re going for some kind of record.

Animal Collective – Today’s Supernatural
First single released from the upcoming Animal Collective record! Words cannot properly express how excited I am for this album. Animal Collective are a band that need no introduction at this point. They have made album after album of stunning, unique music–and spawned dozens of copycat bands along the way. This upcoming album finds the …
Apocalypse Dreams
We’re finally getting our first taste of Tame Impala’s upcoming followup to 2010′s fantastic Innerspeaker, in the form of this track: “Apocalypse Dreams” The rest of the album, titled Lonerism comes sometime in October. I can’t wait!
Slaughterhouse
Ty Segall is back with a new album, this time under a new moniker; Ty Segall Band (featuring Mikal Cronin, Charlie Moothart and Emily Rose Epstein). Ty Segall Band – Slaughterhouse Ty Segall has become something of a mainstay in the garage rock scene over the last few years, releasing some dozen or more albums …
The Lost Tapes
Let me start this off by saying, I love Can. I’ve seriously loved Can since the first day I heard Tago Mago over a decade ago. My exhilaration for the weird German krautrock band was matched only by how much they confused me/my senses. If you’ve never heard the band, you seriously need to do …

Maribel – Reveries
New album from Norwegian shoegazers Maribel, following up their much noisier debut, Aesthetics: Maribel – Reveries Sounds like the mellower edges of classic late 80s / early 90s shoegaze & dreampop bands (Slowdive, MBV, etc), mixed with a nice dose of Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks soundtrack and the occasional Walkie Talkie era Air vibe finish. …
New HWGM Video

RSD’12: The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends
Following 2011′s Heady Nuggs, The Lips Bros are tomorrow releasing The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends LP to commemorate Record Store Day 2012. It’s an LP of tracks curated from the huge assortment of EPs the band put out last year and this year so far, tracks stocked with, well, Heady Fwends. The Flaming Lips …
New Spiritualized…Huh?
Spiritualized are back with their seventh studio album, and while I have some minor gripes about the mixing, the strength of the songs on this release easily outweigh them. Spiritualized, fronted/embodied by psych maestro J. Spaceman, long ago perfected the crossover genre between gospel and psych rock they are most often found within, and this …
