Jim Nothing - Wildflowers

Posted by 8 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
The new album from Auckland, New Zealand's Jim Nothing resonates with the jangly corner of our blog index. It boasts "nuanced storytelling and observations of everyday life packaged in some of the best garagey powerpop we have had the pleasure of cuing up in a long time," says When You Motor Away. Out via Meritorio Records and Melted Ice Cream.

Jabee - No Love (prod. Conductor Williams)

Posted by 1 site • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
With his debut on Mello Music Group, Oklahoma City MC Jabee lands in Bandcamp's best hip-hop of the month: "Jabee's tales about turning pain and loss into resilience are backed by soul-rooted production delivered by a roster of beatmakers...while the release's sole guest verse is served up by the incomparable Quelle Chris (Stack №270)."

DJ Lycox - Edson no Uíge

Posted by 3 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Paris-based producer DJ Lycox (Stack №393) returns to Príncipe Discos with the vibrant Guetto Star. "Blending kuduro and tarraxo with drill-dominated bass lines and textured sound design, this body of work is an incredibly satisfying follow-up," writes The Vinyl Factory.

lots of hands - rosie

Posted by 2 sites • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Leeds, UK duo Lots of Hands are prepping a 2025 LP with Fire Talk Records. The Alternative previews this single: "The hazy, self-engineered track fuses indie rock and folk with ambient downtempo...the latest iteration in the slowcore renaissance."

STA - A1 - Diablos del dub

The Letter points to the latest self-released collection of dub-inspired cuts from Spanish outfit STA, "working melodica, horns and various upbeat electronic effects for the perfect mood music."
FEATURED ALBUM

more eaze - materials for memory

Posted by 1 site • On Bandcamp • Also on: Spotify
Brooklyn-based composer Mari Maurice Rubio, aka More Eaze, continues her exploration of left-field chamber music and incidental recordings on lacuna and parlor, out now via Mondoj.
GOOD MIX
Lisbon label Príncipe welcomes a resident mix from roster heavyweight DJ Lycox, featuring rare music of his own and other members of the Tia Maria Produções crew.
GOOD READ

Will Friedwald's SubStack on Cole Porter's "I Happen to Like New York," a truly subversive song:

"Here, he’s establishing if not an entirely new genre of songwriting, certainly a unique subset of songs which both praise and affectionately gripe about a certain subject matter—and it’s especially effective when that topic is the city of New York."

Thanks for listening!

—Dave & Team Hype Machine
