Remember, on Bandcamp Friday (which is *not* every Friday — it’s like once a quarter nowadays), Bandcamp waives its cut, so artists/labels get 100% of what you pay.
A few recommendations:
The new Eli Winter is out today, and it cooks: https://eliwinter.bandcamp.com/album/a-trick-of-the-light
Closer to home, last year’s Old Ceremony album is well worth your time: https://theoldceremony.bandcamp.com/album/earthbound
Django is one of those ppl who works at such a consistently high level that it can start to get overlooked — what, another great Old Ceremony album?
Been listening a lot to the debut full-length from Durham’s Trash Signal, which is snotty & punky w/synth lines threaded through it. Drummer Dave Yarwood has played in a bunch of other locals, including No Love, so this tracks. https://trashsignal.bandcamp.com/album/trash-signal
My other heavy rotation album this spring has been The Way Out of Easy, by the Jeff Parker ETA IVtet, who had a long-running Monday residency at a venue in LA called ETA. https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-out-of-easy
You rockers on this list might recognize Jeff’s name from his other band, Tortoise.
