“Tambura”
Message is comprised of Taketo Shimada and Tres Warren (Psychic Ills), with Spencer Herbst (Mountains of Matalamma) on drums. Their new album, After Before, is due April 6 via De Stijl. And despite what its sonics might imply, it’s only available in this universe.

Neon Indian
“Sleep Paralysist”
Neon Indian’s new single, “Sleep Paralysist,” is especially awesome to hear with a cold Mountain Dew. Sigh.
