Check out the new video by Jerry Paper!

Today, we are pleased to debut the new track by Jerry Paper! Jerry Paper makes trippy, neo-psychedelic albums that walk the vortex between Ty Segall, New Order, and Velvet Underground. Speaking to Punknews about the new track "Moonstruck", Nathan Lucas aka Jerry Paper says, "Moonstruck – This one I wrote right after I got home from a 6 week long tour where we only really had two days off… it was a harsh dose of touring but honestly one of the most transformative of my life because I was more present than I’d ever been on tour… less in the numbing-zone and more in the feeling-understanding zone. I was also really loving all my bandmates and the last couple weeks of tour were really fun despite exhaustion; we had two particularly enjoyable experiences that stuck vividly in my mind around the full moon (and a cartoonishly large bag of psilocybin mushrooms) in Tucson (nude in a pool) and Marfa (swinging a big knife) so this little rocker just popped out of me pretty much right when I got home. This song is contextually interesting for me because immediately when I got home from tour I knew something big in my life had to change (which eventually led me to grad school and the life-expansion of becoming a therapist), so this is kind of a meditation on joy even while the earth is shifting beneath you." Jerry Paper's new LP is out September 27th Stones Throw Records… but you can check out the video below, right now!

Horse Jumper of Love milk the axe handle with a slow-burning ‘Word’

<p>It makes sense that even in the height of the casual season, Horse Jumper of Love are here to slow things down even more. The Boston-born trio, which just played Royale with DIIV last week, is set to release new album Disaster Trick this Friday via Run For Cover Records, and set a slowcore mood yesterday (August 12) with a hazy drifter called “Word.” With an appropriately moody video directed by Ben Turok, frontman Dimitri Giannopoulos breaks it all down: “This […]</p>

Psymon Spine craft a sweet little mood nugget they call ‘Sugar’

<p>We don’t mean to get too late-aughts music blogger on a Tuesday up in this shit, but it seems like Psymon Spine are hellbent on crafting vibes rather than just making music. The Brooklyn electronic psych-pop group dropped new album Head Body Connector via Northern Spy Records way back in February, and apparently the vinyl version included a sweet little mood nugget called “Sugar.” Never one to shy away from pleasing people on the dance floors from here to Spumoni […]</p>

Listen to a new song by Texture Freq!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new song by South Minneapolis-based Texture Freq! The song is called “Golden Pavilion” and is off their upcoming EP What May Come. Speaking about the song lead singer Jimmy said, “Golden Pavilion” subverts hardcore’s typical psychic landscape of aggression towards others into a protective space of reclamation. Masculine aggression and posturing has always served as an ego defense, but it isn’t often thought of that way. Being a man who dates and fucks other men, the mental gymnastics can be insane. Ostensibly liberated, we act out towards lovers because of something unresolved or simple toxic masculinity until the only option is to close in on oneself… The title reference is to Yukio Mishima’s Temple of the Golden Pavilion, in which a young Buddhist acolyte chooses to burn down the temple, everything he’s known rather than address his insecurities or nascent sexual desire. Sound familiar? Mishima was, at least publicly, a repressed queer. What if we were honest with ourselves and each other, even and up to our (justified) rage at this life? It’s exhausting trying to retain a sense of self when everyone’s got an agenda and opinion about what your body and identity “mean,” even the people closest to you. But then you find the right person, who you can level with, “let in,” and everything changes…What May Come will be out everywhere on September 6 via Dirt Cult Records and you can pre-order the EP right here. Listen to the song below!
