Very prolific Kansas-based one-man psychedelic noise adventure C V L T S is about to drop another cassette soon via his own Beer On The Rug imprint. Theta Distractions features seven heavily drugged-out cuts of layered drones and distorted synth incursions. A fabulous tape that probably is his tightest and most coherent to date.
As of today, you may stream and buy the whole thing digitally over here. Watch this space for updates on the forthcoming physical release.
Below, dive deep into the slow-burning eerie soundscapes of Mirror Face, a seriously cinematic track that would serve as the appropriate score for any slightly melancholic horror/mysterie b-movie from the mid-eighties:

"In celebration of the summer solstice", Chicago's Jeff Walls aka Campfires sent over the link to this marvelously splendid jangle pop tune that was obviously made right on time for those lush days ahead of us. Amelia, which will appear on the forthcoming Two Syllable Records compilation, is a perfectly psychedelic aural wonderland, appropriately hazy and melodic, tailor-made for just about every summerish pastime.
Campfires' latest (and highly recommended) Dusty Mansions 7 inch is still available via Small Plates Records.

Epic, absolutely stunning video made by Broken Machine Films for Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based Joseph Volmer's project Clearing. The vintage VHS collage-style visuals perfectly accompany the contemplating, warm and fuzzy yet strangely twisted ambient drone sounds that are based on some heavy tape manipulations, wide-spanning soundscapes for some seriously sundrenched vibes. Cassette music par excellence for all your late June summerish temptations.
Clearing's fantastic Tape Drag c48 is out soon on Kansas-based imprint Solid Melts, coming on pro-dubbed and pro-imprinted cassette tapes in an edition of 100. Pre-order here.

It's been a while since we last heard new material by our unconditionally adored North Carolina bedroom soul enthusiast Evan Adams aka Top Girls and we had involuntarily started giving up hope for that situation to change anytime soon, but just a few minutes ago Adams unveiled this fresh tune. Truth is yet another slow-burning late night summer jam, a sweet and slightly melancholic reminder of all those bygone sundrenched days. Good to have you back, Evan.
