Helado Negro :: Transmissions This week on Transmissions, our weekly series of strange conversations: Roberto Carlos Lange of Helado Negro. His new album of electronic bliss pop, psychedelic ambient, and soulful love songs is called Far In. Lange joined host Jason P. Woodbury for a talk about Marfa, his journey through the world of independent … Continue reading Helado Negro :: Transmissions

Oog Bogo :: Disappear Excavated from a box of tapes during lockdown, and sonically self-described as stoned, sunbaked and windburnt, LA’s Oog Bogo’s EP 2 vibrates on a woozy and wavy, lo-fi plane. Mixed and mastered by Ty Segall, and released on his God? Records imprint, the four tracks recall psych-folk whiffs of homespun Barrett … Continue reading Oog Bogo :: Disappear

Starflyer 59 :: Vanity For the better part of three decades, Jason Martin has recorded and released music as Starflyer 59. Though the shoegaze classic Gold rightfully earned Martin a spot on Pitchfork’s 50 Best Shoegaze Albums list, he’s steadfastly maintained a low profile, never showy or overwrought, as his concisely worded interviews and sometimes … Continue reading Starflyer 59 :: Vanity

Tonstartssbandht :: Petunia Orlando brothers Andy and Edwin White—a warm, enveloping duo known as Tonstartssbandht—return with Petunia, their follow-up to 2017’s Sorcerer, a record we dug for its dynamic and invigorated orbit of jammy neo-psych-folk, cloud-bound vocal harmonies, and spacey ambient soundscapes. This new work is a bit more song-oriented than its predecessor—it has four … Continue reading Tonstartssbandht :: Petunia

Dina Ögon :: Ficktjuven The self-titled debut from Sweden’s Dina Ögon is, at its root, a collaboration between vocalist Anna Ahnlund and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Ögren. Having played with fellow Swedish acts Anna von Hausswolff and Sven Wunder, Ögren is well tapped into his local musical community and thus invites a sharp cast of collaborators on … Continue reading Dina Ögon :: Ficktjuven

The Aquarium Drunkard Picture Show: Autumn Equinox Episode nine of the Aquarium Drunkard Picture Show. Weird times and strange signals reverberating from the hills of Glassell Park, CA. Autumn Equinox especial. Feat: Karen Dalton | Ian Matthews | Crazy Horse | Dillard & Clark | Bob Dylan | Clover | JJ Cale | Little Feat … Continue reading The Aquarium Drunkard Picture Show: Autumn Equinox

Scott Hirsch :: Transmissions This week on Transmissions, our weekly series of strange conversations: Scott Hirsch. Perhaps you know his name from the credits of albums by William Tyler or Alice Gerrard. Or perhaps you’re into his solo records: the nocturnally grooving Windless Day is the latest. He’s a long time collaborator of M.C. Taylor … Continue reading Scott Hirsch :: Transmissions

Ty Segall :: Harmonizer There’s a fine tradition of albums named after the recording studios that birthed them, so in the modern era of so much at-home recording, it’s almost a warm and welcoming anachronism when it happens. Harmonizer, the first recording to be completed at Ty Segall’s new Harmonizer Studios, is just that. Coming … Continue reading Ty Segall :: Harmonizer

Lagniappe Sessions :: Liam Kazar Lagniappe (la ·gniappe) noun ‘lan-ˌyap,’ — 1. An extra or unexpected gift or benefit. 2. Something given or obtained as a gratuity or bonus.

Vince Guaraldi :: Little Birdie (Hour-Long Loop) If it’s not abundantly clear, we’re big Autumn Heads here at AD.

Jerry David DeCicca :: The Unlikely Optimist & His Domestic Adventures This one from the outstanding Texas Hill Country-based singer-songwriter Jerry David DeCicca emerged digitally last year, but it definitely needs another bump — especially since the Worried Songs label has now given it a well-deserved vinyl edition. The Unlikely Optimist & His Domestic Adventuresisn’t a record … Continue reading Jerry David DeCicca :: The Unlikely Optimist & His Domestic Adventures

Hataalii :: S/T/First Take Not sure what you got done during the pandemic, but I’d wager a bet it probably wasn’t nearly as much as eighteen year old Hataaliinez Wheeler has managed. Over the course of the last two years or so he’s finished high school, started college, built a Hogan (a traditional Navajo ceremonial … Continue reading Hataalii :: S/T/First Take

Jeffrey Alexander (Dire Wolves/Heavy Lidders) :: Transmissions This week on the Transmissions, Jeffrey Alexander of The Heavy Lidders and Dire Wolves. For decades now, he’s been a fixture in the psychedelic mutant underground. He’s got a great new self-titled record out now on Arrowhawk with his song-oriented project the Heavy Lidders, a vast catalog with … Continue reading Jeffrey Alexander (Dire Wolves/Heavy Lidders) :: Transmissions

Ben Chasny :: The Intimate Landscape Let’s hear it for Ben Chasny, who’s pulled off a rare hat trick for 2021 — three radically different (and just plain radical) releases in a single calendar year. First, we got New Bums’ long awaited second LP, The Last Time I Saw Grace. Then came the spaceways-traveling/Faust-covering Six Organs of … Continue reading Ben Chasny :: The Intimate Landscape

Bob Dylan :: Pretty Good Stuff | Ep. 12 Welcome back to Pretty Good Stuff: Dylan historian James Adams’ semi-regular hour-long program diving deep into the depths of all things Dwarf Music. This installment highlights Bob’s 1981 tour. Not his best year, sure, but one that deserves its due. Bob Dylan :: Pretty Good Stuff … Continue reading Bob Dylan :: Pretty Good Stuff | Ep. 12

Autumn Hymnal :: A Mixtape “There is nothing so stable as change.” Who knows what Dylan had in mind here, but his characteristically enigmatic words are aptly applied to the times we find ourselves in. If spring brought the illusion of rebirth, and summer the hard truth of the long road ahead, in autumn we can … Continue reading Autumn Hymnal :: A Mixtape

Tarah Kikuchi :: Science EP Tokyo based Tarah Kikuchi is by turns throwback and on-trend. His homespun recordings feel snug, warm and familiar. Songs like “Railgun Girl” reside in a sweet spot between Hosono and Demarco, but it’s when he ventures out from that place of comfort, sonically, on a track like “Veronica,” the results … Continue reading Tarah Kikuchi :: Science EP

Unearthed, Vol. 17 :: 1971 Blend Time for another journey through the past! The latest volume of our ongoing Unearthed bootleg mix series features just about 71 minutes of live jams from 1971: krautrock, folk rock, hard rock, jazz rock, etc. Fifty years later, these sounds remain vital, even through that lo-fi tape hiss. Don’t delay — get … Continue reading Unearthed, Vol. 17 :: 1971 Blend
