Hans Condor (Nashville); Ab Ex (Dallas); Pink Milk (Sweden); Los Microbios (Vermont); Oceanography (Oakland); Women of the Night (Brooklyn); The Gents (Hamburg); Carbon Fields (UK); Naqoy (Budapest)

Nashville's Hans Condor is that now sound, man. I got a sneak peak at their new full length, Breaking and Entering, which you can pre-order ahead of it's November 16th release on their Bandcamp page, and it's a total ripper. Here's the single, "Breaking and Entering," it's a blister-fest:

Ab Ex is the new electronic solo project from Dallas-based musician Jason Hensel. Lost When Waking is 11 instrumental tracks of giallo-inspired darkwave, good stuff, check it out:

Speaking of darkwave, Swedish occult punk outfit Pink Milk have a new track available called "Here Comes The Pain." Atmospheric to the max! Music to lose your virginity by:

Los Microbios is the home-recorded project of Lance Jones, of Vermont. The 15 track Cognitive Thinning is a real lo-fi wonder, with covers of "Child of the Moon" and "Oh Yoko" to boot:

Brooklyn's Women of the Night have a new album available on Bandcamp, Sub Rosa, 14 tracks of bluesy, gritty, Stones 'n' Springsteen inspired rock that genre hops between proto punk, dream pop and psych, and Americana/indie/alt rock. I like story songs and songs about dirt bags, so enjoyed these:

Oceanography is another solo project, this one from Oakland musician Brian Kelly. Thirteen Songs About Driving Nowhere in Alphabetical Order is the album, also in an Americana/indie/alt rock vein, but much poppier than Women of the Night:

The Gents, from Hamburg, have released Multiple Attack on Bandcamp, a 4 track garage punk effort. Fun stuff:

Carbon Fields is another solo instrumentalist, I believe from the UK, and their new 3 song EP/mini-album is called Petrichor. Each song is around 7 minutes, and, per the artist, "combines field recordings with strings, down-tempo beats and an experimental instrument called a bow chime."

Pretty cool -- you can listen and download on the Hiru Recordings Bandcamp page. Hiru's Bandcamp About says: "Hiru Recordings is home to a collective of experimental musicians, noise makers and field recordists. We release new and archival sonic explorations in the fields of electronica and drone music." And as such, Carbon Fields does not disappoint:

Naqoy is a two piece electro-noise-rock outfit from Budapest. Their new Bandcamp release is called Four, and it's four noisey tracks that blend electronics, noise rock, post-punk and drone. The final track, "Fabric," is mesmerizing, and the artwork for the release is cool too:

Catching Up

Been enjoying the fact TT.FM is back. Playing a little catch-up tonight. Better late than never.

From the EP "Coming Soon to an Alley Near You," released back in December. Toronto-based hardcore, super-cool:

TheSlime · The Day the Earth Stood Still

Dream Society Records is a new Amsterdam-based "female-lead yin label," headed by artist/producer Bloom De Wilde. Here's a 10 track introduction to the label, featuring my main man Brian Bordello on one track. Great stuff:

Mother Water House is from Austin. "no.angel" seems 80s goth inspired, until it gets heavy and becomes its own thing. I love it. "The only angel here is Abandon" is a great line:

Blues rock usually not my thing recorded, but I enjoy seeing it live. There's nothing wrong with this, Jacob Green is from Vermont, and this is from the album "Little Courage," released February 2020:

From the same promoter, Ryan Summers is from Wisconsin and while the album on first listen isn't for me, this track caught my ear. Released back in October, the album "captures his experiences deprogramming from an internet cult over a decade ago," which is interesting:

Epilogues is from Leeds, and this track is from an EP called "me," which was released back in November. Subtle singer-songwriter type stuff, highly enjoyable:

Epilogues · Me

Pleasant pop from Manchester:
