ARIA ROSTAMI, "DECADES/PETER"

Here's another groovy tape out of West Virginia label Crash Symbols, this time from SF artist Aria Rostami. Not much to say about this one other than it's very chill. Get deep in this one, jammerz :D :D

JULIE'S HAIRCUT, "ASHRAM EQUINOX"

"Ashram Equinox is the sixth studio album from Modena based psychedelic band Julie’s Haircut. Composed of eight tracks, merged to form a continuum of sound, which may either be listened to without interruption from beginning to end as a complete suite, or taken individually with it its own unique meaning. Sonically, the album is a kaleidoscope of mature eclecticism that spans from rock and psychedelia, to minimalist electronic, with echoes of jazz, ethnic, dub, and drone music throughout."

Cop that tape from the Crash Symbols' Bandcamp and check out their recent releases HERE. I'm gonna get real with you, this past week has been pretty stressful over at Sexwolf HQ, but this tape has brought me to a far mellower place. Don't delay, confront your nightmares, release your stress, and embrace these good vibez.

Crash Symbols - Return to Dope Mountain

I'm really digging this new compilation from the Crash Symbols label. I don't know too much about these guys other than they are a small cassette label started a couple years ago that put out a pretty diverse collection of beat collages, synth dance jams, rnb ballads, beatific drones, post no wave weirdness, and blunted beat tapes. Despite it diversity, there is a strong collective DIY spirit running through the whole record that's as inspiring as it is easy on the ears. At 24 tracks long, this compilation is a really generous and rewarding showcase of an exciting new label. Hopefully we will be hearing a lot more from these guys in the future.
