#NewMusicFriday 🧵
Jeffrey Alexander & @lidders.bsky.social, Liquid Donnon
Heady jams that'll shake loose the rambles and brambles. Grateful Dead is the guiding light, but Shakey-style solos and a free-jazz spirit untether the band from this realm

The Church of Hate, 'Les Plus Belles Fleurs'
An anti-record in playable, digital form. Subtle, satisfying noise that samples and loops pieces of a Jules Massenet opera. A haunt that soothes.

A judge rejected a request to pause a court-ordered deadline of Friday to remove references to President Trump from the building. The institution appealed, an effort that was also rebuffed Friday evening. n.pr/43RQ6qN

Sami & Sir E.U, 'Survival'
The title track is SUCH a banger. Dark, mysterious synth lines propelled by classic house breaks and a psychedelic rap performance that teeters between hope and determination.

Picastro, 'Double On Time'
I have not seen Backrooms, but this feels like Backrooms. Chamber indie-rock played sideways, ambient lullabies for lost ghosts, slowcore glitched into liminal spaces. A confounding, but rewarding 16 minutes.

D.C Cross, 'Open Guitar (Volume Two)'
Three hours of DADGAD improvisations out in nature, with all the bird chirps and tractor rumbles left in. You really do fall into the environment quickly, soaking up the light between the leaves.

Diles Que No Me Maten, 'Escrito en Agua'
Can-funked, J Dilla-wobbled, Slint-plodded post-rock from CDMX. Maybe a little Gentle Giant, too, why not. An adventurous hang that nevertheless seeps slowly into a deep consciousness.

BASIC, 'BASIC'
When bucolic grooves, ecstatic electronics and art-punk overlap at the outdoor festival, and create a fourth stream of sound — wild, free and spirited.

@totalvibration.bsky.social So rad! Thank you Lars all the way from Australia for the inclusion of my new D.C Cross record!

Holy cow! This may be the weather photo of the year.
Double rainbow, orange sky over Nationals Park Friday evening.
Absolutely amazing capture by Alex Warofka.
