Nice, catchy tune from the weirdly named lo-fi folk-rock act Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt. It’s “about a crazy woman”, or so they say. Listen to two more songs on their bandcamp, and buy the album on amazon/iTunes.

VVAA – A Compilation for Japan
Salad Fork has just put out a benefit compilation for Japan, composed of unreleased tracks from various artists. The tracks can be freely downloadable from their website, and you can buy one of the 36 hand-made packages for just $10, money that will be donated to Architecture for Humanity. Contribute to a good cause and get some new tunes (by the likes of Surf Club, Branches, Robert Foster or The Astroboy) hitting the link below.
Kim Ki O and Mkrni were meant to play in the previous day but had to postpone their gigs, so they opened the day at the pool stage. When we arrived there, Mkrni was already playing, followed by Narwhal and Nazka. All of them provided nice background music to a game of cards that I invariably lost almost all the times, but the prize goes to the drony/psychedelic outfit Narwhal. I almost got up to go see them, but figured out that losing one more round was probably a better choice. The only band playing on the pool that day that made me get up from my towel was Pega Monstro.
I intended to post about this in a long time now, but work has since piled up and I forgot about it. “Ghosts of the Dust Bowl” is the latest recording from Cliff Dweller, a multi-media collective from LA. I found this album while browsing the “folk” tag on Bandcamp – something that I should probably do more often – and it sounds like a homage to the Old West, the lonesome music being reminiscent of early, Spoke-era Calexico. I’m currently reading the Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy and this might be the perfect album to read it along to. Feel free to stream or download it for free below, courtesy of the artists themselves.
