Truly honored to have UP THROUGH THE RUST featured--thanks so much @buffablog.bsky.social
Our Album of the Week this week comes from local scene mega-power @wyliesomething.bsky.social , whose new EP is a hazy, scrappy, and distinctly satisfying slice of slacker rock that feels like that first truly crispy day after a long, hot summer.

Hiya! I'm a songwriter from Buffalo n this tune just came out

Pondering what it actually means to live 100 miles out... with bursts of lap steel and black coffee... tube amps and playin' the drums when my gf isn't home

I hope you like the soundz

Crushing times in Buffalo, NY. All proceeds from this are goin' to Mickey & Jordan's families here in Buffalo. Also if you'd like to donate directly, gofundme's are linked on the page. They were Buffalo's finest. Still in complete shock.

Now Playing 🎧: Something's in the water... and it's Crystal Stilts - Alight of Night. Classic '08 reverb drenched lofi... tumbling thru the dark... walking thru a maze... Disaffected vocals drone while Spector walls of reverb guide you thru the motions

I love this.

Now Playing 🎧: If I Am Only My Thoughts by Loving exists in an oasis.

loving.bandcamp.com/album/if-i-a...

Thru the warmest lofi production one could dream up, this group glides thru AM radio pop melodies never sacrificing clarity in their tape warble. The guitar leads float, dewdrops off a leaf.

NOW PLAYING 🎧: Here in the Pitch by Jessica Pratt. Levitate over to the kitchen sink for a tall glass of cool water. Phil Spector walls of reverb w/ a nylon guitar... echoing thru the quietest corners of yr house. Immediate and arresting, Pratts vocals transcend...

NOW PLAYING: Pavement's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

Man, to be a teenager yellin' along to Unfair... "say goodnight to the last psychedelic band"

This whole album exists in a give and take. Nostalgia vs newness. But who knows, I'm a lil fried. Regardless, timeless.

A thing I think folks have lost track of in the grand scheme of the internet is the fact that people don't need/have to interact with ya. Especially when ya make art n ish, it's completely ok to scroll on by. With that being said, if ya luv or appreciate somethin--it goes a long way if u express it

Tascam us-1800 is kinda the most goated piece of gear in my collection. I'm talkin' the USB 2.0 version. I've had this thing since 2013 and it's still delivering somehow.

I think I've tracked over 25 albums or projects with this thing.

HOWEVER third xlr input is squirrelly now... is it fixable?

The cargo ship trapped in ice right outside of Buffalo, NY reminds me of how spooky it is to be out there...

Perfect setting for a John Carpenter movie

So proud of this one
Last week Buffalo basement psych-rockers Raybees released a blast EP 'Reaper, Take My Life for Free' and it's right up your alley if you're into Osees or Jesus Lizard. It's our Album of the Week.

Now Playing: Tobacco City is the sorta band that drifts thru timelines, feelings--with the ease of putting on a favorite pair of shoes.

open.spotify.com/track/7sGvbd...

The two vocalists harmonize with the best of em, more character than classic. The songwriting is just smart and worn in. <3 🎧

After leavin' philly in my 20s, Purling Hiss is one of those bands that take me back to rose-tinted south street days. Did not expect to find Mike Polizze's solo works. Listening to Cheewawa on a snowday in Buffalo, blown away by the songcraft n hooks baby, hooks!
