“Play Ground” is the latest single from Hamilton’s Zoon. The track is taken off of the band’s recently released A Sterling Murmuration EP and adds a nice touch of ’60s-style psychedelia to the band’s dreamy shoegaze sound. Check it out below.
A Sterling Murmuration is out now via Paper Bag Records.
Pharoah Sanders, a towering spiritual jazz figure who up until last year was still putting out collaborative work, has died.
I thought it a fitting tribute to move you, dear readers (or not dear, no matter), to relive the magic from one of his concerts with his quartet in 1975. Just leave the whole album on the background. The set is imbued with so much vibrancy and life, there is little chance it will stay there in the background. And if this does not break the record for the longest Song of the Day, I can try again.
You can still grab the LP here.

While it hasn’t been all that long since we last heard from Calexico, their last two albums were 2020’s Seasonal Shift (a Christmas album), and Years To Burn, their 2019 collaboration with Iron & Wine. So their latest, El Mirador, is the first ‘regular’ Calexico album since 2018 to not have any sort of asterisk attached to it. And it’s a good one.
“Rambler” is their latest single off of that album. Check it out below.
“Empires Falling” is the latest single off of Wilderness of Mirrors, the new album from Austin psych rockers The Black Angels, out now on Partisan Records. Check it out.
