No Age - An Impression [STREAM]

No Age have shared "An Impression", track 5 from August 20's An Object. This will be nice to hear in context, but is very pleasant on it's own.

Two great songs from Pure Bathing Culture have upgraded their forthcoming Moon Tides from anticipated to essential. Take a dip.

While other, slightly more high-profile emcees are monopolizing the press, the always consistent Fat Tony has released a new album that easily outdoes both. Roll down your windows and enjoy the feel good vibes of the music.

HOT TRAXXX: Ariel Pink featuring Jorge Elbrecht: Hang on to Life [STREAM]

Ariel Pink has proven himself a sure thing since 2010, and when he gets emotional it's a cherry on top of an ice cream mountain. Hear the wonderful A-side of his collaboration with Violens' Jorge Elbrecht above and buy the limited 7 inch from Mexican Summer, if you so desire.

FUCK YEAH: Fuzz - Loose Sutres [MP3]

MP3: Fuzz - Loose Sutres

After 2 successfully killer 7 inches, Fuzz will release their self-titled debut October 1st on In the Red. Listen to Ty Segall, Charlie Moothart, and bassist Roland Cosio rip through the rock cosmos on "Loose Sutres".

FUCK YEAH: Quasi - You Can Stay But You Gotta Go [MP3]

MP3: Quasi - You Can Stay But You Gotta Go

Thank the lord, Quasi is back with a new record! Coming right out of the gate with a total ripper, the back-to-being-a-duo has a double LP (!) called Mole City coming out on October 1st from Kill Rock Stars.

Pre-order the album and choose to package the it with their zine, a t-shirt, an outgoing voicemail message recorded by them for you, and/or a limited white label test pressing of the LP. All that plus any pre-orders get a 3 song covers CD-R for free.

That's a lot of content and it more than certainly makes up for the countless nights of us in the living room with the outside light on, fighting sleep while waiting for them to come home.

Froth - Lost My Mind [MP3]

MP3: Froth - Lost My Mind

Los Angeles summer garage BBQ sensations Froth will release their debut, Patterns, on Lolipop (LP) / Burger (tape) sometime this July. Here a download of it's first single.

FUCK YEAH: No Age - C'mon Stimmung [STREAM]

I'm afraid to be living in a time where No Age announce a new album and no one is flipping out. An Object is out August 20th on Sub Pop and I am very excited to hear their newest masterpiece.

Check out "C'mon Stimmung" which puts the duo's further progression fully on displayed while dipped in that delicious rock n roll flavor that they make so goddamned well.

Warm Soda - Jeanie Loves Pop [VIDEO/MP3]

MP3: Warm Soda - Jeanie Loves Pop

Goddamn, this Warm Soda record still rips. Here's a new clip of Someone for You's standout hit "Jeanie Loves Pop".

I'd also like to say that I really appreciate that these dudes are actually trying with their music videos, everyone else lately seems to want only to coast on "coolness". Whatever.

Summer Twins - Forget Me [VIDEO/STREAM]

Forget Me is a new 7 inch from the always great Summer Twins, and it comes out tomorrow on Burger.

Check out the video for the title track and don't miss the very lovely b-side "I'm No Good".

Part Time - I Won't Be Your Little Secret [STREAM]

After what seems like years of teases, Part Time is back with a new album. PDA comes out July 9th on Mexican Summer - dig on "I Won't Be Your Little Secret", it's a real keeper.

GO TEAM: Tape Deck Mountain - Always Lie [MP3]

MP3: Tape Deck Mountain - Always Lie

"Always Lie" is a beautifully giant leap forward for gaze rockers Tape Deck Mountain. You can download the digital 7 inch for however much you'd like, plus an email address over at their Bandcamp page. Also, don't forget to pre-order/help them fund Sway, the release that this song will appear on - if this gem is any indication of what we're in for, it's gonna be a dope ass ride to the stars.

Cool Ghouls - Natural Life [VIDEO/MP3]

MP3: Cool Ghouls - Natural Life

I don't know about your weather report today, but where I am it's completely perfect. Check out this great Cool Ghouls jam "Natural Life" - it sounds like audible sunshine. Oh and their self titled record was produced by The Fresh & Only's Tim Cohen, so you know it's a slam dunk.

Burnt Ones - Web [VIDEO]

You'll Never Walk Alone, the new garage-glam-whatever masterpiece from San Francisco's Burnt Ones is out next week on Burger. You can stream the record via Ad Hoc and then cop yourself a tape or LP.

If you need a little more salt & pepper for your meal, check out their VHS filmed video for "Web". Enjoy.

HOT TRAXXX: Airbird & Napolian - In the Zone [STREAM]

HOLY SHIT - I just found the aptly named "In the Zone" by Airbird & Napolian (with beautiful guest vocals by solo artist/Au Revoir Simone's Erika Spring) a few days ago and I can't believe everyone isn't freaking out about it!

Great production all throughout, but 2 minutes in the dough really starts to rise and what you're left with is fucking delicious. ZONE OUT: this is the new flesh.

DIANA - Born Again [VIDEO]

Whoa this video for DIANA's brilliant smooth 'n pop "Born Again" is like looking through the world with bizzaro sunglasses. It's a great song with some wayyy trippy visuals; lots of colors and flashes AKA that shit we all love. Their self-titled debut is on the way, out August 20th from Jagjaguwar.

Essential viewing:

HOT TRAXXX: Salvia Plath - House of Leaves [VIDEO]

I know I was anxiously awaiting a new Run DMT release after 2011's brilliant Dreams tape. At long last, news has arrived from the furthest reaches of the Earth: after being chased away from his namesake by shitty DJs, Michael Collins has now reemerged with the genius name Salvia Plath. There's a new record coming out - it's called The Bardo Story, it comes out July 8th on Weird World and that's the crazy radical artwork for it above by Robert Beatty.

Here's the video for "House of Leaves". It's a killer video and holy shit: the song sound like some good gravy.
