Velvet Dream
Rujen
"Velvet Dream, the sophomore record and Broc Recordz debut for Atlanta-based, space rock outfit Rujen, is grounded in the idea that change can start with a shift in perspective and the realization that your future begins with a choice. Steeped in the warmth and character of analog tape delays and the quirky charm of vintage effects units, the album leans into themes of time, self-doubt, and personal growth across 11 tracks offering a fresh dose of '70s tinged, slacker jazz-rock grooves and fuzzed-out riffs that have come to define the band's unique brand of neo-psychedelia"
The Landfill
Fruit Bats
"The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flat expanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you’ll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you’ll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost."
Transmutations
BALTHVS
“We ‘transmuted’ the live concert into a studio album, we had no restrictions with the material, we re-recorded multiple elements in order to ensure pristine studio quality while preserving the energy of the live experience, and ‘alchemized’ the songs.”
The Universe Smiles Upon You ii
Khruangbin
"... how interesting would alternate takes or symphonic extravagance really be for a band whose aesthetic—essential vibes, infinite grooves, riffs that rippled across the horizon—seemed so direct and pure, anyway? What if, they had instead wondered, they went back to the barn where it all began and recut the record that had started it all, on the actual 10th anniversary of those sessions? They decided, at least, to try."
Eternal Almost
Tomo Katsurada & Misha Panfilov
"“Eternal Almost” is a collaborative album by Japanese musician Tomo Katsurada and Estonian composer Misha Panfilov. Born from the simple joy of songwriting and creative exchange, Tomo and Misha had long admired each other’s music from afar."
