I’m really digging this stomp-worthy track from Dr. Dog’s forthcoming new album, Be the Void: If you dig this too, I recommend heading over to TeamCoco for the full stream of the entire record. Be the Void officially drops on Feb 7th (on Anti Records). Artist Website: DrDogMusic.com

I picked up Tycho’s latest album Dive at the end of 2011, but I’m still listening to it constantly in 2012. The title track is one of many standout tracks on the album. Check it: Tycho’s sound hits on this perfect mellow but moody vibe, and I love the way that the core electronic beats [...]

More good stuff from Generationals. I still like their Trust EP the best, but their full release Astro-Caster is also quite solid. It has been steadily growing on me since I grabbed it a few months back.

We were BBQ’ing with my bro-in-law a while back, and as we got started, he asked me what to search for on Pandora for good outdoor party tunes. I immediately spit out the word “funk.” The subsequent Pandora station that we got using that search team definitely queue’d up a few decent grooves, but nothing [...]

Love this: Very cool and innovative. Their new album is really solid too. It’s a mix of beautiful acoustic gems (like the one I flagged here recently) along with a couple bluesy romps and some African-influenced world grooves reminiscent of Tinariwen.

Man, what a great song… Can’t wait to catch the Barr Brothers next time they’re in NYC.

I’m loving this new one from the band’s upcoming album, The Whole Love… It’s called “Born Alone.” I also highly recommend checking out the album in its entirety over on NPR Music. Really solid all around. I especially love that last track. Wilco starts a two-night stand at Rumsey Playfield in Central Park tonight.

Slave Ambient, by the War on Drugs, was another recent emusic download that took only a couple listens to win me over. The overall sound of the album is fresh but familiar. The instrumentals are a mix of propulsive rhythms, interesting background synths, and multiple guitars that are layered, sweep-filtered, and perfectly jangle-y. But even [...]

I caught up with my buddy Burke recently and he made a point to say how much he liked my live improv mixes, even though I don’t think he really considers himself a big live music/improv guy. In honor of summer, I recently put together two different all-improv, all-instrumental mixes around a “summer bliss” theme. [...]

I came across El Ten Eleven on the eMu site yesterday and really dug their sound. Check it out: These guys put together a nice mellow style of instrumental music using drums, double-neck bass/guitar, a loop pedal and lots of effects. In that way, their music is actually somewhat similar to some of the mellow, [...]
