It is Bandcamp Friday, and you (better) know what that means— all proceeds of today’s sales on the platform will go to the musicians. Considering that we are now approaching a year of living under the pandemic, if you can spare the extra cash, now would be the perfect time to show the bands you love how much you support them.
Chicago-based garage rock band The Sueves are turning up the heat with their third LP, Tears of Joy. Songs like “Mop Bucket” and “Deflect the World” contain a classic, head-banging type sound that is further enhanced by the production styles on the guitars and drums on this album, which has undergone a subtle but noticeable elevation compared to their last project. Check out the album hereand find the limited edition screen-printed vinyl at http://www.magicatalog.com.
Mute Swan is a psychedelic band that fuses shoegaze, dreampop, and electronic into their hypnotic melodies. Their recent album Only Ever truly showcases the talent of the trio, who have been rocking together in Arizona since 2013. Long live Mute Swan!
