Amoeba Music

Belgium pop singer probably known best in the US for being a judge on Ru Pauls Drag Race Belgium. This was their entry into Eurovision 2024. (It didn’t make the top 20) A dramatic anthem about looking for love? Hooking Up ? “Before the party's over (I'm gonna make moves tonight)”

A fantastic reissue on both expanded CD & Vinyl! I’ve followed her from Pearl Harbor & The Explosions to touring with the Clash ( she was married to Paul Simonon for a bit ) I’m glad this rockabilly wonder is seeing the light of day again ( my original Vinyl was getting worn - remember to change your needle folks! ) FYI, Amoeba carries a selection of needles AND turntables ( including a cool novelty clear portable one! )

In this “music we like” i also want to give props to a track that i think people should check out: Donna Summer - “Fairy Tale High” from the 1977 LP “Once Upon A Time”. I would say this is one of the first Synth-Pop Tracks ever. Instantly gets me dancing!

Natasha Khan's latest album is described as an ode to her daughter and their closeness. It is filled with lush synth melodies and vocal flourishes. It's epic nostalgia but there's a sense of urgency.

The UK trio are known for slick production and lyrics that yearn. Their latest is catchy with lyrics that long for past loves, see "Shipwreck" feat. King Krule. It's a perfect alternative album to reflect on your last breakup.

It's the final Shellac album and it satisfies. You know what you're signing up for. The lyrics are hilarious and the instrumentation is fucking sick! R.I.P Steve Albini. Read more

This is my favorite Bay Area band at the moment. Their self titled EP is just a magical work of art. Very wizardly, mystical forest dreamlike and lovely sweet with their Canterbury sound. My favorite pieces from their sound are the synth and vocal elements but it's fucking great altogether. They are all talented musicians and there aren't many bands today that sound like them .

Very strange and eeire synth music. Kinda sounds like working at a factory that manufactures cyborgs that will inevitably destroy the human race. But you're okay with it. Read more

45 years into their career, Redd Kross seem to finally be getting their due. A new career spanning documentary and book are on the way, but first is this self-titled double album. Without feeling too self-referential, the band are able to make subtle nods to their younger selves while just ripping through 18 garage-y power pop tracks with as much energy as they've ever had. I guess when you start your band at 15 and 11, you can still sound vital 45 years later.

Matt Pike put out a varied, very pandemic era solo album but is now back with his long running band and this time around seems happy to chug away in classic High On Fire style. Nothing too fancy here, just more riffs to blow your hair back. Sometimes less is more and this one never lets its foot off the gas.

You know what you're going to get with a new Midnight album, Motorhead like riffs with a heavy dose of Venom layered on top. That's what you get here and, at 28 minutes, it's a solid get in/get out affair.

If repetitious stoner doom instrumentals are your thing, you can't do much better than Chicago's Bongripper. 4 songs, 60+ minutes. It's slow and heavy, although they kind of let it get loose on a couple tracks, as a treat. But never for too long. Their bread and butter is to test your patience and trust that you're there for the long haul. Read more

Kali Malone returns to pipe organ drones on her 6th album, but augments that instrument with a brass ensemble and a choir. There are more discernible melodies here than on previous works, but that's all relative. The vocal pieces are new and add to the already very spiritual nature of her compositions.
