Only a fool would ruin Friday night by posting noise. That’s why I decided to postpone Nana April Jun for the time being and come up with something to spice up tonight. Apparently the new promos from our favourite nudisco providers Tirk and Bear Funk are the best in our arsenal right now.

Titled Indoor Days, this 6 track EP from Woodsman is a teaser for their upcoming album Collages on Mexican Summer. A stream of brilliant naturalist instrumental psych jams.

Comprised of singer/guitarist Don Howland and drummer Lamont “Bim” Thomas, the two-piece Bassholes was founded in 1992. Their latest “…and without a name” on Colombus Discount is a premium blend of skronky, noisy garage blues with the right amount of fuzz, delay and harmonica.

Just got the Cults virus yesterday night thanks to our pal yvynyl, infectious retro twee pop goodness. MOAR!

One of the remaining masterpieces from 2009 on the list is La Barca by the master of aural alchemy Thomas Köner. La Barca his first offering in five years, is a matchless soundscapes album; an inimitable blend of field recordings, subtle synths and restless moods. Out on Fario, sister label to Fear Drop, limited to 600 copies.

One of last year’s best kept secrets was Mancunian trumpeter Matthew Halsall’s sophomore album Colour Yes on Gondwana.

Canadian afrobeat upcomers Souljazz Orchestra has a new offering on our favorites Strut, called Rising Sun. It’s safe to say that the orchestra hasn’t reached that fine point of diversity until Rising Sun which effectively marks them as a soulful afro/jazz combo.

Without doubt the most heart-rending noise & drone album since Burning Star Core’s Blood Lightning 2007, a testimony to the fall of an Empire, the desolation after an apocalypse, or the soundtrack to nuclear meltdown, blink and the LPs are gone.
