Daily Yinz – Root Coiled – merely mended
The experimental artist recently released a tape called The Carriage Went Flying (Not For Commodity). The Carriage Went Flying contains a series of audio collages assembled from field recordings, drones, and little sprigs of melody. Listening to it feels like walking through a city populated by computer glitches and disembodied spirits, a place full of … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Root Coiled – merely mended
Daily Yinz – eyewash – Blonde
A new two-track single from the shoegaze heavy-hitters. "Blonde"--introduced by the glitchy, lyric-less piece "Timing Is"--ripples with heavy, echoing guitars, cirrus cloud synths, and cascading drum cadences. The verses, delivered dazedly by bassist Rachel Hines, plumb great depths of pain ("Nosediving / Lost control / Can't go on like this / Unsustainable"), but the emotion's … Continue reading Daily Yinz – eyewash – Blonde

A few words about a few more local tracks that hit the spot over the past few weeks ### Pat Kelly - Rotten Deal A wry, groggily plaintive porch-rocker; instead of slide guitar, it's spiked with some gnarly modular synths, courtesy of guest Jess Tambellini.

Daily Yinz – Sad Bulldog – Dog Waters Barking
The riff-happy band recently released its self-titled debut EP. Groups that specialize in peaks-and-valleys guitar sojourns usually give themselves names like "We Think As Paintings" or "You Burn Because You Are Alive" or "Hoisting Mountains Toward The Sun." Not Sad Bulldog. Despite their dejected moniker--and Sad Bulldog's artwork, which features an adorably morose canine--the band's … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Sad Bulldog – Dog Waters Barking
Daily Yinz – Jon Bygone – Cheese Ball King
The noise-punk trio released its self-titled debut EP on Boston's outforarip label. Jon Bygone's music feels intriguingly dangerous, like some pulsing mound that you stumble upon in a smelly, low-lit tunnel and quickly hurry away from, back to the light, all the while wondering, what if I had stayed... If you do stay to experience … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Jon Bygone – Cheese Ball King
Daily Yinz – Tony From Bowling – Summoner
To celebrate the first anniversary of their 2025 album, Appear, the psych-rock band released a few more tracks recorded during those sessions. "Summoner" pairs a jagged, scrabbling chord progression with strident drums, thick gobs of bass, necromancer vocal harmonies, and a spindle of guitar drone that hangs in the middle of the mix like a … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Tony From Bowling – Summoner

Daily Yinz – Chet Vincent & The Music Industry – Only Child
Prolific guitarist/vocalist Chet Vincent's latest album with The Music Industry is Static On The Radio. Static opens with a bout of swaying heartsickness on its rueful title track, moves into a Tom Petty-style ode to Mary Jane, clad alluringly in her green dress, and then devotes its final eight cuts to grateful, sun-dazed cardiac repair. … Continue reading Daily Yinz – Chet Vincent & The Music Industry – Only Child
