Sten Bergman ‎:: Lyckohjulet

Loosely affiliated with the Träd, Gräs Och Stenar crew, Sten Bergman only released one LP — 1974's Lyckohjulet — but it is an extremely sweet slice of vintage Swedish folk rock. He's joined here by Träd, Gräs drummer Thomas Mera Gartz for a set of 10 excellent tunes that run the gamut from Basement Tapes-y rambles to moody, "Down By The River"-esque excursions . . .

All Chico Hamilton set. The NYC based collective interprets five tunes from the jazz drummer's 1965 album, El Chico.

Journeyman :: Steve Gunn On Michael Chapman

The first time I heard Michael Chapman's music, it felt like a new yet familiar friend. I've learned so much from him--his work ethic, his sense of camaraderie during our times together on the road or in the studio, and as a guest at Wytree Farm, Michael and Andru’s lovely, welcoming home. I’ve been with Michael on a broken-down bus in the Bronx, on high-speed trains in Switzerland, on a bumpy flight over Spain. I've been a passenger in his Jaguar, speeding down the . . .

Tropical Fuck Storm :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Tropical Fuck Storm emerged out of the remnants of the furiously articulate, punk rock outfit, Drones. If anything, an even more unhinged vehicle for the scathing rants of frontman Gareth Liddiard, the band has grown, over three albums, into a messy, hyperverbal, supremely danceable monolith.

We recently caught up with Liddiard to discuss the frustrations of isolation, the unlikely persistence of creativity during lockdown, why conflict and contradiction make for the best songs, and what the band hopes for in the future . . .

Stick Figures :: Archeology

Tampa, Florida’s Stick Figures revered the Delta 5, opened for the Fall and caught the attention of John Peel in their short first run, churning out a clatter and rattle, jittering post-punk more in line with London or Manchester scenes than their native South Florida. The band made only one recording in its heyday, a four-song self-titled EP. That EP plus six additional unreleased studio tracks, two live cuts and a modern day reworking of their most chaotic song “Ellis Otivator Dub” make up the new Archeology compilation . . .
