3 Leafs
“Eat The Earth” album stream
Check out San Francisco’s 3 Leaf doing their best nu-age space rock lounge routine. The entirety of this slow-building improv jam can be heard on the band’s Soundcloud. Here’s a mission statement of sorts:
Our music is improvised, though we will occasionally use small compositional cells from which to spring into new places.
Editing is not frowned upon.
Yeah, that’s what The String Cheese Incident said like 15 years ago, man.

Tyler The Creator & Hodgy Beats
“Sandwitches”
Tyler The Creator and Hodgy Beats perform “Sandwitches” on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. The song was originally seen on the BLACKENEDWHITE album, released last year under the MellowHype moniker. This version… woah. Shit’s getting nasty.

Tera Melos
“Manar The Magic”
Next Tuesday, Sacramento’s Tera Melos are releasing the Zoo Weather EP, the follow-up to last year’s full-length Patagonian Rats (both released on Sargent House). The six-track EP features three new songs and three remixes, including one by Melt-Banana (!!). The video above is for “Manar The Magic,” the EP’s lead track, and it features the always awesome Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE).
Don’t forget that Tera Melos start their tour with Marnie Stern tomorrow. Check here for the latest and greatest dates. And if you have time to kill, it’s worth checking out this recent Writers On Process interview with Nick from Tera Melos. He talks about poetry, The Simpsons, and writer’s block. My three favorite things!

Sean McCann
“Star Charge”
A lot of people here at TMT fell head over heels for Sean McCann last year, nominating his Open Resolve album as one of the years best. His new LP The Capital comes out in March on Aguirre Records and, wow, judging by this sample track, it’s gonna be intense. The piece begins with beautiful, bubbling synths in the vein of Caboladies before erupting into a vague mashup of choral sounds and more abrasive electronics. Though difficult to describe, the whole thing works extremely well. Pre-order this soon, because the first 125 orders come with a bonus cassette, The Sky Is Filled With Incredible Wishes.
