Los Esplifs Drop Chemistry LP

Leave a comment

Surely you were not expecting that we would be covering some rad cumbia vibes this morning, but after realizing Los Esplifs dropped a surprise LP last week, I had to run and get it up. The Tuscon outfit popped up on my radar back in 2021 with their LP Estraik Back, which has a vibe that feels like it encapsulates all that I love about cumbia, particularly the rhythmic pulse. You get the same on their new LP, Chemistry, though they continue to work in some touches of funk and psychedelia throughout. This is a record that can hopefully get your blood pumping, as it did mine, so sit back and just take a listen to Los Esplifs.

Stream Estraik Back from Los Esplifs

Sometimes I feel like a one man party train for Los Esplifs, but I just can’t get enough of their album Estraik Back. It’s full of these Latin rhythms blended with a modern flare and sprinkles of psychedelia; it’s more or less the perfect record for those willing to step outside the ordinary world of indie rock. Every time I put on a track like “Otro Pais” or “Perro Rabioso,” there’s just this overwhelming sense of freedom; my body and mind just sort of let go and I escape into the music this Tucson outfit has crafted. Here’s to hoping folks take a chance on the full listen; your spirit certainly won’t regret letting go!

Heavy New Single/Video From Mute Swan

Leave a comment

The shoegaze and post-punk genre is pretty saturated in our music scene right now, so it’s nice when you find a band who do it right or add something new. Tucson based Mute Swan do exactly that with this new track and video called “Enough Fun”. It’s super washed out with an insane amount of heaviness and crazy guitar reverb. It’s like Colourmusic meets Clap Your Hands. Ya dig.

Mute Swan currently have this single available for purchase on a Lathe Cut 7″ single.

Raw Track From American Monoxide

unnamed (9)When you hear a band name like American Monoxide, you’d expect the music to have a little bit of edge and rawness to it right? Well that’s exactly what you’re going to get when you check out this new song called “Get Into My Way”. It’s as if Modest Mouse decided to make some country/folk music during their Lonesome Crowded West years. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense to you people. And here’s to hoping for Mr. Dimitri Manos to keep making more quality music just like this.

New album Web Content will drop on June 10th.

Nice Pop Music From Dream Sick

Leave a comment

3069942621-1Here’s a new song called “Tiny People” from Tucson based 4 piece group Dream Sick.  I’m sure many of you have never heard of the group before, and I’ll admit that I hadn’t either until a few days ago, so let this serve as an introduction to the band for you and me.  Having just released new album Morkkis by their own accord, the band have been working hard to get the word out to waiting music fans.  At the core, these guys create some nice pop tunes with reverby swirling guitars that can create some special moments in their music.  Check out the song below and maybe get your hands on the band’s new album via bandcamp.
