Etta James' Montreux debut was 50 years ago today. Her "I'd Rather Go Blind" - especially at the 6min mark, when the mic-less improvisation kicks in - gives me the chills, every time. bit.ly/yt-gemz-etta-james-19…

Rejoice! Funkadelic's Westbound catalog getting remastered and repressed via @orgmusiclabel, starting 8/29 with eponymous debut. treblezine.com/funkadelics-c…
Packing Steely Dan, Sea-Change-era Beck, Aussie psych & Floyd vibes into a 5-track EP is no small feat but UK's Common Saints was up to the task: Equinox opens with a summer playlist no-brainer (lnkfi.re/jZUS3Nvb) and never lets up. Out this month via Starsonics #icymi

Definitely not a non-event: Aussie indie/psych trio Daily Toll's debut A Profound Non-Event deftly blends psych, shoegaze and indie rock. The brooding 7min opener "Another World" sets the tone: lnkfi.re/BFDqZfC4 Out this week via London-based @toughlove #nmf

Brooklyn's @razorntape label salutes summer in proper style with the @yuksek EP, Deja Vous; digital out this week a/ vinyl shipping late June. For "She's Mine" the French producer teams w/ @IsaacDelusion and the result is pure disco sunshine. lnkfi.re/dNvLVmlL #nmf

50 years in and Brazil's @azymuth_trio are still cranking out top-shelf jazz-funk: the whole Marco Passo LP is a must-listen, but the extended mix of "Arabutã" from producer @danmaunick is the rum-soaked cherry on top. #outthisweek from @faroutrecs lnkfi.re/sL7zEGNq #nmf

First @defjam solo LP from @mrchuckd is a Bomb Squad-dy delight that draws inspiration from PE's best work. Demands front-to-back listen but if I had to pick a standout, Rogue Runnin, with its slammin' @philmostchill verse, is a full dj set crammed into 3 minutes. In a good way. lnkfi.re/1hfZfD4o #nmf

Mo' Horizons' 25-year career is filled with superb jazz-informed electronic grooves and "Love On My Side" - their recent collab with Italy's @ectomaver - is a jazzy warm-weather bop that ranks among my fave Mo releases. Out via @agogorecords lnkfi.re/F3fWMnV1 #icymi

If Psych Furs or their ilk are on your BBQ playlist you'll want to add "Ill At Ease" - the title track off Canadian post-punkers @pre_occupations' 5th LP - which is out this week on Born Loser Records. 7-date UK leg kicks off tomorrow, then CA/US lnkfi.re/QFqYFgKW #nmf

LA peeps, let's set the time machine for 1975: Judas Priest and Alice Cooper are coming to the Forum 10/19 to help you ring in the Halloween frame. Caviar and meths, or Devil's Food? Pick your Poison. bit.ly/tmrex-20251019-judas-…

past present is instantly one of my faves in @mdCL's wonderfully diverse catalog. Combining Heritage-era fusion w/ Tangerine-adjacent synth, an immersive headphone listen awaits. Out via @gregboraman's bbe imprint, IMPRESS!VE Collective. Title track lnkfi.re/ZcJBpN9e #nmf
This Relix remembrance of Terry Manning is worth the quick read. From Stax to Compass Point, Al Green to ZZ Top, Moog master to master photographer, his was a life in music well lived. bit.ly/rip-terry-manning

LA if you've never experienced the original D-O-double-G your time has come: @TheSwampDogg is headed to Venice West 4/25. Psychedelic R&B set, or will the focus be songs from last year's countrified Blackgrass? Prollly a bit o' both. Tix bit.ly/tmrex-20250425-swamp-…

Out today: The Crux, @djotime's 3rd LP, via Djo Music / @awal. "Charlie's Garden" - a joyous ditty littered with musical and lyrical Beatles references - is a welcome dollop o' fun that is sure to brighten your day. lnkfi.re/IO982L9Q #nmf

Hiroshi Yoshimura helped define the 80s kankyō ongaku ambient style with classics such as Green. This week @Temporal_Drift reissued Flora, a 2006 compilation of theretofore unreleased works, and it is a wonderfully whimsical journey. Title track: lnkfi.re/E4HXP50f #nmf

Goldie Boutilier struck a rich musical vein with her latest, "King Of Possibilities". This evokes everything from Stevie to fellow Canadian Alannah Myles with a touch of Heartless Bastards. A whole lotta grit packed into 2.5 minutes; love it lnkfi.re/wwdUTT1x #icymi

"Heat" - the new collab between @kraaksmaak and Sydney's Butter Bath - is a warm slice of psych pop that warrants a slot on your poolside playlist. Out today on K&S's @boogieangst label. lnkfi.re/xcCZvGpJ #nmf
