Daily Yinz – Tony From Bowling – Pyramids

The quartet's debut album, Appear, is out now on Michi Tapes. You know Tony? From bowling? He's the one drinking beer in the corner, always brings that extra heavy ball from home, the one with the psychedelic tie-dye patterns? Well his band just released its first LP, and it rips. The guitars lurch like swamp … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Tony From Bowling – Pyramids →

Daily Yinz – TGD Hiss Ensemble – Typo 1

MK is the improvisational trio's latest release. "Typo 1," the album's opening piece, contains nearly nine minutes' worth of freeform sound. Percussion patters and hisses like enormous drops of rain, electronic car horns blare, and jarring drones build a sense of unease. It sounds like a low-visibility car crash waiting to happen. And then it … Continue reading Daily Yinz – TGD Hiss Ensemble – Typo 1 →

Daily Yinz – Zack Keim – Wash Away The Pain

The retro rocker's new album is Battery Lane (Super Sport/Action Weekend/off label). The album, produced by Jake Hanner and Animal Scream, contains eleven tracks, each bathed in paisley-tinged sunlight. "Wash Away The Pain" finds Keim, backed by a lattice of acoustic guitar, painting breezy sketches of two people searching for escape: Sarah, who "wants to … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Zack Keim – Wash Away The Pain →

Daily Yinz – Jack Swing – Cadillac

Like Water is the band's spirited full-length debut. Like Water's first single--the funky, soaring "Daydreams"--dropped all the way back in 2021, and the album proves itself worth the wait. The music is kinetic, catchy, polished without slickness or artificiality; the songs run hot with lifeblood. "Cadillac" decorates a tight, wah-wah inflected groove with phased lead … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Jack Swing – Cadillac →

Daily Yinz – Death Gasp – Ghosts of the Bomb

The self-described stenchcore band releases its full-length debut. Death Gasp (Final Return / Audacious Madness / Profane Existence) pairs furious rasps with razor wire guitars and drums that gnash like wild dogs. "Ghosts of the Bomb"--which appeared in an earlier iteration on the band's 2021 release, Executioner--confronts, with rightful apoplexy, a disgraceful truth: that the … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Death Gasp – Ghosts of the Bomb →

Daily Yinz – TV’s Norm – A Postcard From Nowhere

The melancholy A-side from the trio's new single. On the show Cheers, barfly Norm Peterson spends his time drinking beer and making sardonic quips about his wife Vera, so it follows that a band called TV's Norm would specialize in slackery, sarcastic rock songs. "A Postcard From Nowhere," the titular A-side from the band's new … Continue reading Daily Yinz – TV’s Norm – A Postcard From Nowhere →

Daily Yinz – LOVEHEX – uP

A shimmering single from the Beltzhoover native. The self-produced "uP" is a trap ballad filtered through a kaleidoscope. Bass rumbles and hi-hats flutter, but the synth tones that adorn the track arc dreamily, as if they're being produced by the waving of a magic wand. LOVEHEX, voice warped and bubbling, floats his way through a … Continue reading Daily Yinz – LOVEHEX – uP →

Daily Yinz – KB12 – One To The Ear

KB12's Kräsh! EP contains a selection of bizarre grooves. The five-and-a-half minute "One To The Ear" lopes along on the strength of an indefatigable drum loop layered with all manner of jazzy melodic stabs and disorienting sound effects. At different points the loop becomes muted, echoey, blown-out, but it never stops its stride. Rounding out … Continue reading Daily Yinz – KB12 – One To The Ear →
