Listen: Cool Maritime – “Temporal Dryft” [2022]

Posted on March 16, 2022 by Very Warm

Did I check this track out solely based on the cool tree frog art on the cover? Partially, but I’m glad I did anyways. Cool Maritime (aka Sean Hellfritsch) is putting out his new album Big Earth Energy via Western … Continue reading →

Posted on March 15, 2022 by Very Warm

Only five albums this month. Sure there was loads more music, high profile stuff at that, but nothing grabbed me the way these next five albums did. I listened to a few other things that were pretty good, like Sally … Continue reading →

Listen: Joe Rainey – “no chants” [2022]

Posted on March 7, 2022 by Very Warm

Get to know Minneapolis musician Joe Rainey, an Ojibwe Pow Wow singer that just recently joined Justin Vernon + Aaron & Bryce Dessner’s 37d03d record label, a spot that pretty routinely supports righteous, out-there music. I really wasn’t super familiar … Continue reading →

Listen: King Crimson – “Matte Kudasai” [1981]

Posted on March 4, 2022 by Very Warm

I know a lot of music nerds out there have listened to King Crimson’s Discipline before, but I hadn’t until this month. Yeah, it’s really good. I had always thought of the band as really maximal and theatric like most other prog … Continue reading →

Listen: Just Mustard – “Still” [2022]

Posted on March 2, 2022 by Very Warm

Oh baby. If you’re a reader of the blog, you know I’m a fan of some deep, dark, menacing shoegaze. I’m not sure if this technically even qualifies (but who’s gonna come foul me? A shoegaze referee?), either way, Just … Continue reading →
