Old Joy - 'Sedentary Living'
Fevered guitar noise laden with a kind of strangled pain. A hot, itchy nightmare in three and a half minutes.

Tropical Phoenix-inspired indie pop goes down smooth anytime. The new single off of Work Drugs's upcoming album ought to stir some sun into your day.
Unlike some of the more tight-lipped, glossy electronica coming out of the internet these days, Hectic Zeniths breathe plenty of air into their production. Are those real drums I hear?
The latest LP from this avant-pop album is quite a trip. Bizarro stuff, but awfully fun.

Gruff dream-pop from a Philly oddball.
