Thrill Jockey just dropped another great batch of records. The first is an inventive, sparkling new album from Dustin Wong titled “Dreams Say, View, Create, Shadow Leads”. You should be able to get a good feel for his layered compositions by listening to the tune below. They’ve also got another great, great, great psychedelic rock [...]

Thrill Jockey continues to kill with two brand new releases. “West”, the new album from Wooden Shjips, is another great entry in the band’s extensive discography of modern psychedelia. The rhythms are exact, the music is foggy, and the overall vibe is that of a laid-back mindbender. It sounds krauty at times, Sabbathy at other [...]

It might also refer to music enjoyed by people on drugs! Just kidding ya’ll, but seriously… this new 12″ EP (i.e. [...]

I really can’t think of a better way to describe this than “minimalist psych bop” so I’m not even going to try. If you’re into this blown out west-coast rock n’ roll movement going on right now than this is the band for you. Wooden Shjips are from San Francisco and the new album “Dos” [...]
