Woodsman – New track “Insects” + “Balance” Video

Woodsman   New track Insects + Balance Video

Woodsman is an experimental ambient post-psych band based in Denver, CO. They’ve got this great 70s-psychedelic jam band groove. These guys are touring with Gauntlet Hair over the next couple weeks and I wish I could make it out to see them, it’s gonna be one hell of a show! Here’s “Insects” from their upcoming Lefse Records release, Rare Forms, due out January 25th. You can also grab the 7″ single here.

Tallest Trees – Learn (Video)

Definitely my new favorite album, Tallest Trees‘ latest work “The Ostrich Or The Lark” out on Other Electricities August 17th, has everything you could possibly hope for. But for lack of a good way to describe their well-crafted sound, I’ll let the video take over from here. Be sure and grab your copy of this album when it hits the streets in August.

Buke & Gass – “Medulla Oblongata”

Buke & Gass   Medulla Oblongata

Brooklyn-based Buke & Gass (pronounced byook & gace) are Arone Dyer on the “buke” (a self-modified six-string former baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez on the “gass” (a guitar-bass hybrid of his own creation). The song “Medulla Oblongata” is short and sweet, and will keep you on your toes. It’s amazing how much noise and rhythm can come from a just 2-piece. Their forthcoming self-produced full-length, Riposte, is set for release on September 14th on Brassland.

Breathe Owl Breathe – “Swimming”

Breathe Owl Breathe   Swimming

I’ve only heard a couple songs from the upcoming Breathe Owl Breathe album Magic Central, and I couldn’t be more intrigued. This trio live and work in a Lincoln Log cabin in deep rural Michigan, where these songs were written and recorded, born out of their experiences living there. Magic Central is set to release 9/28 on Hometapes. I’m really diggin’ this one, “Swimming.”

Jape -”Ocean of Frequency” & “Borrowed Time With Peace” home demos

Jape  Ocean of Frequency & Borrowed Time With Peace home demos

Here’s another gem from Ireland. Jape was formed in 2003 as a side project by Richie Egan while playing in The Redneck Manifesto (really sweet experimental rock band). They’ve made some noise since then, winning the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year 2008 with Ritual. Richie’s headin’ to the studio in June, so until then here are a couple home demos of his latest, “Borrowed Time With Peace” and “Ocean of Frequency.”

Zs – “Acres of Skin” live from a backyard in Austin, TX

This is one of the more mesmerizing live videos you’ll see these days, with an excellent payoff I might add. It’s like you’re watching a lava lamp, or something equally trance-inducing. Very tribal-esque, and loud in all the right places. In other words, it’s amazing. This is Zs performing “Acres of Skin” off their upcoming record New Slaves during a live session for terroreyes.tv, Wednesday on March 17th during SXSW 2010 in a backyard in Austin, TX.
