Herman Dune – Say You Love Me Too : Listen
The Swedish-born artist has released the first single from his record Notes from Vinegar Hill. Herman Dune’s lyrics and delivery are heavily reminiscent of David Berman, to whom the record is dedicated. Caitlin Rose’s backing vocals along with pedal steel cement the Americana breeze that wafts through the album. Dune is certainly a character, in every sense, adopting various pseudonyms to release music under over the last 20 years (Dune is another – he’s also used his given name David-Ivar, Yaya, and Black Yaya). He’s lived in Vinegar Hill in San Pedro, California for the last five years, on the…

Long time collaborators Steve Gunn and John Truscinski are releasing their glorious sonic masterpiece, Soundkeeper, on Friday, October 9th. Following the first single, “Valley Spiral,” here’s a taste of what’s to come. On this single, Gunn says: For the Duo, our collaboration over the years has been inspired by extensive discussion of albums and musicians we love and admire. The tone and feel of Eddie Hazel’s guitar playing has always been a particular talking point, especially Hazel’s open playing and inventive use of the echoplex on the album ‘Maggot Brain’. Because we’ve listened and talked about him so much, we…

Mojohand – Losing Hand
New Jersey cosmic Americana psych rockers Mojohand release their single, “Losing Hand” today. The tune features Dan Horne on pedal steel and is one of Mojohand’s best releases to date. They may be east coasters, but the heart of their sound is in the west. You can buy the single on Bandcamp today – check out past releases, too! These guys can really rock. And if you’re in the tri-state area, they’ve begun performing some spaced-out, socially-distant outdoor shows if you’re jonesin’ for a little Workingman’s Dead-style jamming.

Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah – Highway 10 : Video Premiere
Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah released their second full-length record L.A. Yesterday earlier this summer. Recorded at engineer and guitarist Jason Soda’s Palomino Sound studio (Trummors, Miranda Lee Richards), Gallagher’s heady, ageless cosmic rock and roll will hit the listener like a bolt of lightning. Soda’s searing guitar solos, Gallagher’s unique and impassioned voice, Kirby Hammel’s opulent keys, and the hard-hitting, visceral lyrics make this album an instant classic. I’ve been completely obsessed with it. Daily listening. Morgans Brother created an appropriately trippy video for the single, “Highway 10,” premiering here today. The video is a vivid reimagining of the…
