Longtime RSTB fave Ryley Walker joins Gift Horse on their new album. Still pulsing with boiler room darkness, the band turns the pressure cooker atmosphere into a sound that pits industrial and post-punk textures against Walker’s glowing desert blues leads. bit.ly/46dvoCT

RSTB faves Mountain Movers return this week. The new album takes a darker turn through tense passages that highlight the band’s impeccable interplay. “Killing Frost” finds the band seething through a nocturnal sweat, cold and anxious, bristling against the humid atmospheres. bit.ly/4hjHsbN

Still simmered in the sunlight of ‘70s folk, country, & pop, a new Sylvie single feat. Alex Amen. Draped in honeyed harmonies, exquisite guitar runs & the kind of production that radiated from Lightfoot, Taylor, & No Other-era Gene, “Rina” is a perfect companion to easy Sept mornings. bit.ly/4ypM1XL

Longtime site favorite Andy White (Tonstartssbandht) returns as Andy Boay. The first single off of his new album, Doomed embraces the vocal gymnastics of his past releases, tumbling through his saturated wonderland with thrumming bass, percolating keys, and sunshine harmonies. bit.ly/4gHo7kG

A Gaussian blur turns the lights to crystals all around Panfilov’s work, but amid the kaleidoscopic swirl is a verdant lightness that’s always welcome. Linking the natural to the cosmic, the analog world of Panfilov caresses the listener in bucolic breezes. bit.ly/4A8QdNA

This month’s edition of Crawl Out From the Fallout is packed with new music. Tune in tonight from 8-10 pm EST on @wgxc-90point7fm.bsky.social or stream at their site! wavefarm.org/wf/archive/g...

The first taste of Lou Turner’s new album, Strangels is a verdant cool down fixed with flute trills, soft strums, and Lou’s painterly visions of uncertain times and an unbuttoning of the soul. The song opens up the new album with a a familiar dose of charm and a satisfying saunter. bit.ly/4xdCUIR

Been keeping tabs on The Thorn for a while now and the band never fails to bring a fresh take on UK/EU psych folk. This time the band tackles a cover of traditional French ballad “La Pernette” giving strong Trees / Pentangle / Fairport vibes to the tale of forbidden love bit.ly/3UvWx1e

The band jumps from the electric Miles palette to textural grooves, hinging on the oil slick interplay between Harrington’s guitar and Walter’s keys. The rhythm section screws things down tight, letting improv lead the way down endless rabbit holes of heat and humidity. bit.ly/4xFmqKC

The Belbury Poly capture the feeling of ‘80s fantasy on “Dreamthief,” a dark dive into dank forests and the kind of swamps that would have been populated by Hensen creatures and a strange unease. bit.ly/4x3Y8sz

Over a spare beat, Nowhere Flower carves sequestered incantations into tape. Her layered improvisations scratch out a slowly festering brand of pop; fogged and feral, prodded by electronic impulses. The song marches on into the dark corners, pulsing like a beacon, sighing all the way. bit.ly/4cSAjww

Sweat taps into the kind of towering stage presence that would make a Rush fan blush and give hope to those who’ve been holding on since Heart was on the charts. They balance that jumpsuited swagger with a dirtiness that digs through the dollar bins of glam and early power pop. bit.lie/3UwFDPV

Allah-Las flirt with funk but retain a salt scrub that’s loose and laconic; a sockless saunter through ‘70s dance that keeps one eye on the neon nightlife and another on the next days tides. An album for letting go, for letting the needle of fate find the road forward. bit.ly/4guZQ1h

RSTB favorites Sylvie have announced a new album, signing to Ghostly International for their debut, New Seasons. The band’s been consulate purveyors of sun-faded ‘70s Americana and there’s no signs of stopping from the feel of the new sneak peak here. www.instagram.com/reel/DcteOfu...

Very excited to have a mixtape curated by longtime RSTB fave Jeffrey Silverstein this week. Outside of being one of country’s steadiest voices, Silverstein is an accomplished DJ & he brings that curatorial ear to a new mix of country cutouts that make a perfect companion for the road. bit.ly/4y7dFZr

Built around stacked harmonies and a love for Cosmic American collector's fare (Sand, Mountain Bus, Fat, Taos) Ozonia is a state of mind. It’s as ambitious as the band’s ever been and the listener is instantly thrust into the album’s plush comforts, drenched in its afternoon sun. bit.ly/4ceR9pi

Yoo Doo Right return with the brooding build of “Doldrums, Doldrums, Eviler Than The Devil.” There’s a stark desperation to the track, a noir back alley burn that hurtles through the speakers like a Molotov through a motel window. bit.ly/4gDGR3p

Revered ‘90s outfit The Yummy Fur returns! “Headphones” is a crimped pop romp that feels like it could have fit anywhere in the band's catalog. Sliced with the wit & wobble of early Eno, the single is an existential examination that quivers through the speakers in classic Fur fashion. bit.ly/4izF1CZ

2nd Grade returns with the fizzing “Anywhere Girls." bouncing out of the speakers on spring-loaded legs. With a ‘90s pop heart, Gill latches onto a leaner vision of power pop. It’s a joyous, sun-drenched sound that dives right into the heart of the genre. bit.ly/4qG8YTS

Chrome Chasm(mems of Charalambides, Lower Dens) blends patient guitar work with dreamlike embellishments. “The Star” threads the listener through gossamer moments that bump ambient, country, & drone. The song floats through the air with a hazy humidity, landing between fever & fantasy bit.ly/45R1eFk

With a wink and a storyteller’s smile, Nick itchell Maiato runs down tales of charismatic characters and high plains fantasy. He wrangles some pathos out of spandex heroes down on their luck, and lets the outlaw funk sunburn under the singe of horns. bit.ly/3SDCgGa

Aluminum’s newest single finds the burrowing further into the harder ends of shoegaze, bashing into the listener with insistent rhythms that bring to mind Swervedriver at their best. They don’t lean on the crutch of chaos alone, filtering a heavy dose of pop through the havoc as well. bit.ly/45PgKkU

The Bures Band returns with another sweetly stung single from their new album, Ozonia. The track ambles in all the right ways, never hurrying, never far from the edge of ease. The whole new album has an air of collector dug delicacies, from Mountain Bus to Help Yourself. bit.ly/4gONYal

A new P.P. Rebel (Parsnip, Hierophants) single brings a sunnier sound. “Ascension” leans on a breezy brand of ‘60s pop. It’s a joyous celebration that draws on Richens’ inspiration from Yogananda’s Chants, children’s refrains, & 60s gems from Incredible String Band to Free Design bit.ly/4xVTQnU

Chicago post-rock rippers Yr Knives announce a debut album for Western Vinyl, translating their electric live presence to tape. First single “Fear & Trimbling” courses through the speakers with an elastic energy, chewing on ragged riffs and the ravaged edges of jazz and post-rock. bit.ly/4xppjiy

The sophomore album from NC outfit RIBS hits like a sack of rocks to the small of the back. It’s a brutal, often brittle record that’s made for the malevolence of these times. Fed on friction, it's a callous against comforts, an inoculation against the numbing feelings & easy apathy. bit.ly/3Uhj3uA

We are bringing exclusively live human content, the last way you can actually experience the phenomenon known as "being alive somewhat". Simon is with us again, cuz we need more of his songs in our hearts, & we also have shows with the should-be-legendary-by-now David Nance and Jeanines.

Following his collaboration with Tomo Katsurada (already a 2026 essential) Misha Panfilov is back with a new album of breezy pastoral jazz. “When I See You (It Feels Wonderful)”, is a lilting, dream-bent number that’s awash in flutes and the hammock-slung skitch of percussion. bit.ly/4xggVSd

New LP from The Goods hooks harder into a sunshine strain that puts them into the power pop pocket with The Lemon Twigs, Uni Boys, and Danny Ayala. 2nd single “Minor Key” is a bittersweet sigh, a three-minute exhale looped in longing that pairs a penchant for pop with insistent ache. bit.ly/4c5dCF4

The constant clash of Miller’s guitars, Amba’s noxious skronk, and the velveteen curl of various guest vocals makes for a potent brew. A hydra of heat, a forge of psych, drone, space rock, and prog; the new album is one to beat among the many highlights of 2026. bit.ly/4y3NbIx
