After a decade of honing their sound, Iceage returns with their fifth LP, Seek Shelter -- out May 7th on Mexican Summer.
Recorded in a dilapidated studio in Lisbon, Portugal, days of heavy rainstorms leaking through the roof informed the session's mood, forging an album rife with themes of searching for shelter during treacherous times. We caught up with vocalist Elias Bender Rønnenfelt to discuss the album's creative path, recording with Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom, and more . . .

Bob Dylan turns 80 years young this month ... so let's get the celebration started with something a little on the bizarre side. This mix gathers a selection of vintage Dylan covers with lyrics translated into Greek, Italian, French, Dutch, Spanish and more. Ranging from the mid-1960s to late 1970s, it's a sweet (if occasionally disorienting) listen, as these singers attempt to force Bob into new linguistic zones . . .

Five songs chosen by four different members that pull from the likes of British rock, American honky-tonk, and obscure instrumental B-sides - all wrapped in the group’s signature warmth. An (unofficial) EP of covers, if you will.

...one of the more skilled and imaginative guitarists on the neo-Takoma School scene. Rolin's self-titled debut and subsequent collabs with Jen Powers and Jayson Gerycz have all been uniformly killer — but they seem to have been warm-ups for The Dreaming Bridge . . .

Who is Misha Panfilov? The prolific Estonian multi-instrumentalist has shot onto the scene over the last few years, recording and releasing a grip of gritty groove-laden titles under his own name and with outfits such as Penza Penza, Centre El Muusa, and more, mostly via Detroit’s Funk Night Records. Panfilov pulls from a vast pool of influences, from Italian library music to Zamrock to Kosmische Musik, while creating an urgent – sometimes nearly unhinged—sound that is entirely his own . . .

The only problem with Fred Neil’s music is that there’s not nearly enough of it. That’s why even a brief, informal session like 38 MacDougal feels like a treasure trove. Taped in 1965 at Neil’s apartment by Peter Childs, who accompanies Neil on guitar throughout, the recently released collection is the equivalent of a private recital by one of the great American singer-songwriters . . .

Their latest is called Diptych, a two-sided long form epic at once meditational but also ecstatic.

Edge of Your Dream is as much a singular song as it is a sonic visualization project. Pressed on a specialty flexi disc, the textured collage cover and inserts reference the accompanying music video. A dark and psychedelic forage, the synchronized animation seemingly explores an abstract, haunting thought experiment . . .
