Underground Vibrations Ft. The Blunt Franklys, Brother Jimbo, and The Florets

The Blunt Franklys

The Blunt Franklys, an LA-based project influenced by lo-fi jazz, heavy amounts of bud, and Southern California surfer music, recently released their latest track “When Yr Around”.

The living spirit of the track is a fuzzy daydream induced by psychedelic drugs, and a hazy memory. And the existential lyrics are about the wavering reality of love, and seem to find solace in knowing that she might be there.

Brother Jimbo

Brother Jimbo’s track “The Fruit of the Flower of Love” was recorded in Portland, Oregon, over the course of a series of Sunday recording sessions for the album, ‘Sunday Studies, Vol. 1’. The instrumental track is one of the sweeter, free-flowing acoustic tunes we’ve listened to as of late, and seems to shine of a nostalgic resonance, dusted with late night indica, and Jesus rays.

As the September Equinox approaches, Brother Jimbo carries on, wielding with him the torch of Americana roots music. May love and peace be with you all, Amen.

The Florets

Melbourne, Australia is where our final artist calls home.

“Five Foot Vice”, is the first track off The Florets’ new EP, ‘Friction Made Fiction’. The Florets had this to say about the track: “We had a lot of fun in the studio bringing this one to life. It’s a tricky song to play live so being able to layer it piece by piece was a real treat.”

To us, the soundscape is an ornate, evolving track that seems to flow like the Yarra River. And the vocals seem to float effortlessly above a fuzzy soundscape that’s shimmering of guitars and driving drums. Enjoy.

0035: Daniel Ruiz – Saturn’s Rings Got Replaced by an Ad (2019)

Today, on September 10th, 2019, Daniel Ruiz released Saturn’s Rings Got Replaced by an Ad on the independent music label, Santa Rosa Records.

The album is a cryptic slow dance through the psychedelic seas of broken hearts and unsung lullabies. It’s an evolution of sound that very well could be approaching the sonic apex.

Now sit back, burn one down, and soak in the heavy vibrations from the poet of despair, Daniel Ruiz. You’ll be sad if you don’t.

The EP will soon be available on cassette, and vinyl in the near future. Please stay tuned my friends. And don’t forget to give Ruiz a follow on Spotify.

Jonah Primo

Here are a few words from the man himself, Jonah Primo: “A hooplehead is a fictional slur for the listless boozing golddiggers of the Wild West, popularized by the television show Deadwood. The song tells the revenge story of Al Swearengen, the local pseudo-psychopathic kingpin.”

0034: Henry Raker – Holy Shapes (2019)

On August 30th, 2019, Henry Raker released ‘Holy Shapes’ on the independent label, Santa Rosa Records.

The album is a conscious stream of semi-freeform alternative jazz packaged in a flowing five part suite that seems to bleed the artistic brilliance of a young, and emerging experimental artist.

The lyrics seemingly capture those sort of spiritual and unexplainable experiences we all seem to share, yet tend to forget. So, when you’re having your next existential meltdown, simply set aside your anxiety and turn on some Henry Raker.

‘Holy Shapes’ is now streaming on all major platforms, and vinyl records and cassettes are also on the horizon. Be sure to keep up with Raker on Instagram. And give him a follow on Spotify!
