Kaleidoscopic electronic pop music from Pete Gofton aka J Xaverre. He's back under this alias after the small matter of 11 years since his last LP.

Desolate harmonising from enigmatic San Francisco native scarrXscarr.

One half of Finnish duo Shine 2009, Sami Suova keeps the compelling electronic narrative bubbling on his solo EP Recessional. Here is the lead track 'Go'.

Nine minutes of aural nectar from Adult Jazz who follow up the excellent 'Springful' with something even better. On the strength of their releases so far this is a stratospherically gifted band. The debut album 'Gist Is' will be along in August.

Tuesday 27 May 2014

Essaie Pas



Part of a split 12" on the Atelier Ciseaux label, this wonderfully primitive record comes from Montreal's Essaie Pas.

Canterbury's Bison Bonasus distill 40 years of art pop in to four minutes odd of meandering joy.

Honsai Jnr



From where and whence Honsai Jnr hails we know not but this taken from his free to download debut LP is pretty special. Get the full album here.

Luca Del George



Glaswegian producer Luca Del George has created the most avowedly peculiar thing to cross our path this week. Happily it's also an absolutely tremendous piece of work.

Tuesday 20 May 2014

DLRN



Sacramento dream-hop squadron DLRN have kindly premiered 'Bright Lights' with us from their EP which will be released by Waaga Records on 3rd June. It's a swirling, dystopian journey with an abrupt ending.

Orangatang



Developing quite a taste for the blissful desert island psych of Orangatang. Here is another beauty from them.

Carroll



Minneapolis quartet Carroll have been quiet for too long but finally they have spawned some new material in the shape of 'Bad Water'.

Monday 19 May 2014

A study in vaguely discordant but ultimately lovely songwriting. DEAREST hail from California and but seem to take their cues from somewhere much further afield.

Hockey Dad



Nearing a zenith in fuzzy brilliance comes this from Wollongong duo Hockey Dad.

Cousin Matt



Urgent and propulsive music from Cousin Matt of whom we know very little.

Brett

Bedroom



Been a while since we last posted a track from Bedroom but his talents for wistful introspection remain strong.

Unkle Skeleton



Horizontally inclined beatsmithery of stupendous quality from Nashville producer Unkle Skeleton.

SMLH



Scratchy and ramshackle songwriting, just the way we like it from 17 year old Sam Higgins a denizen of North Carolina.

Gold Is For The Golden Team



Sparkling dulcetry from Swedish gang Gold is for the Golden Team.

Sales


Sales have continued their overwhelmingly succesful quest for lo-fi pop perfection on this track taken from their pending debut LP.

Monday 12 May 2014

St Tropez



Bay area wooze merchants St Tropez have confected a leftfield melange of disparate elements which come together in a strangely cohesive whole on this debut release.

Cheerleader



Sun dappled jangle of the extremely blissed out variety taken from a limited 7" due on Young and Lost club in June.

Gleemer



If  mopecore was a genre this would be an exemplar of it, at least for the first two thirds of the record after which it gives way to glorious buzzsaw fuzz. Both sections get our seal of approval and there's a full LPs worth of it on Bandcamp.

Friday 9 May 2014

S I G H T



Falmouth producer SIGHT has coined a slow burning gem featuring the vocals of Florence Bird.

Thursday 8 May 2014

Beauchamp



Continuing the Canadian theme, this is beautiful simplicity itself from Winnipeg producer Beauchamp.

Wednesday 7 May 2014

National Screen Service


Ambient bliss, the work of National Screen Service.

School



Gothenburg's School make the kind of irresistible, propulsive indie-pop which invites repeat listens.

Burnt Palms



A short sharp hit of fuzzy garage indie from Californian trio Burnt Palms.

Brett



In releasing Yumi Zouma's EP earlier this year Cascine exceeded their already high standards. On this single taken from Brett's upcoming LP we glimpse an altogether glitzier side to their output albeit one featuring guest vocals from Kim of YZ.

Craft Spells



The second single from the new Craft Spells LP 'Nausea'.

Tuesday 6 May 2014

Sterling Flow



Rapidly becoming a favourite at esoj, Sterling Flow has produced another languid beauty. It appears on Allegiance Vol 1, a new compilation which can be obtained here Bandcamp

Pale Seas



Sparse and throbbing is probably the best way to describe this interesting remix of Pale Seas by the enigmatically named Droppy.

Garden City Movement



Garden City Movement's latest for their upcoming EP on BLDG5 maintains their high standards.

Monday 5 May 2014

Alice Boman



Take a couple of days off and Alice Boman goes and sneaks out another lesson in gossamer fragility. Remarkably lovely as ever.



Fishing



Yet more technicolour, oddball pop music from Sydney's Fishing.
