Australia’s very own Dope Lemon’s latest electric single, “Stingray Pete” can be described as a Clint Eastwood shootout, shaping the upcoming album’s narrative into something truly unique.

Soaked in desert sun — fractured electronics pair with a haunting banjo that melt into the night air, in your favorite western noir that is…

A pure slow burn, Stone’s aura only adds to the feeling there’s more to the story than is being revealed.

“Sometimes I feel lonely not having that many people to go hang out with or talk to but then sometimes I feel at my most peace alone. A somewhat sombre but mellow sound is what I was going for…” – Damien Sebe

With a bit of a depression, yet a mellow vibration to it, “cloudy, with a chance of loneliness” is a track inspired by the lonely moments we all endure. It has a very chill vibe with a bit of dullness to it…

Zack Gross’ IDRK is an eccentric ode to the unknown, and a subtle reminder to dance through doubt and uncertainty with a smile.

The track is a psychedelic bedroom freak folk festival, with elements of electronic indie. A true journey to the center of the mind.

Ryan Wall is a multi-instrumentalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a sound that blends garage psychedelia with hints of down-home Americana music.

Ryan loved the song “Clay Pigeons” for a long time and had been adapting his own version for the past few months. The end product is an absolute gem in our humble opinion, and a must listen for any fan of Blaze Foley or folk music.

Since his last release, Wall wanted to explore yet another creative side with a more stripped back and folkish sound while still adding in his own unique flavor to a country classic. And we think he nailed it.

The track was fully recorded in an apartment bedroom studio in glorious low fidelity.

Abrasive Trees is the creative project of Matthew Rochford.

The approach is experimental and immersive and the sound could be described as spectral, layered yet brooding, with intricate, drone-drenched guitars. 

The energy owes as much to post-punk ideology as it does to ambient psychedelia and folk music. Strings, dulcimers, guitars that sound like old synths, voices in the distance and stories that take you on a long and faraway journey… Yeah, you get the picture. It’s a show for freaks.

Esoteric bass lines, analogue drum machines and acoustic drums recorded in a Victorian house. Ashram Song is a drone-drenched, psychedelic instrumental with an eastern vibration.

The track features members of Diamond Family Archive and Fields of The Nephilim alongside multi-instrumentalist, Jo Beth Young.

Christo Mondavi is a freewheeling and hard partying rock and roller with pure intentions and a heart of gold.

This track is a bit of a tongue and cheek ode to some of Christo’s idiosyncrasies. 

Poking fun at, while simultaneously celebrating his hard partying ways and admitting once and for all that he’s not nearly as clever as he is charming. This is for the schmoozers, the boozers, and the fucking losers. For anyone who has ever been down and out, but willing to get back up again, this one is for you.

Now good night, sleep tight, and don’t let the bedbugs bite.

Opens the sun: Who music wear burst icy known swim ignorant fire.

Swim Ignorant Fire is an experimental project out of Chicago, Illinois. A cryptic collective garnering the attention of the fringe, and all those who will lend an ear.

This trans-genre project veers from a warm sanctuary of ambient light to a dense fog of stifling darkness. A happy medium of sorts.

We couldn’t help but notice that the track is beyond hypnotic, maybe a bit sad at times, but always saturated with an underlying hope. A faint glow that refuses to be snuffed out.

Loops of African Juju witchcraft dance, rhythmic chants from India, and exotic percussion come together in perfect harmony with one another, and become Bufo Alvarious (named after the psychedelic properties of the Sonoran desert toad).

Keep up with the project on bandcamp.
