JEALOUS BUTCHER RECORDS

Team Dresch

Furthermore

TEAM DRESCH ARE BACK with a NEW FUCKING RECORD, 30 years after their last full-length release. Sure, yeah, that’s a long time between releases. BUT, aren’t you dying to hear what 30 years of living, laughing, loving, and losing collagen sounds like? This album SOUNDS LIKE lungs full of grief expelling, eyes and guts wide open, yearning to be one with animals and nature, metal-flange-goth-grunge-punk-ass-rock-and-roll, loaded with inimitable vocal melodies and harmonies, Donna Dresch’s soaring guitaring that grabs you by the heart, so many other rad guitar parts all orchestrally intertwining, ass-thumping bass, and drumming mastery that deserves its own Grammys. The songs are wildly dynamic, compelling, moving, and just… BIG, in feeling and sound. Team Dresch is Donna Dresch, Jody Bleyle, Kaia Wilson, Marcéo Martinez, and Melissa York. Bleyle and Wilson share vocal duties, while Martinez and York take turns bashing the shit out of their drum kits. Bleyle, Dresch, and Wilson all take turns with guitars and bass on this record. Well, Kaia played bass on just one song (but not on the song 'One Song'). The lyrics tell stories of loss and grief, transition and transience, and telling the Christian Right to fuck right off, again. They paint landscapes rich in flora and fauna. In one way or another, these songs are all LOVE songs, when you look at love as the multitude of meaning that it is. If you’re already familiar with Team Dresch’s now widely considered classic emo-queercore sound, this record will give you some of that, but it’s going to take you on some unexpected twisted turns as well.

Johanna Samuels

Sorry, Kid

Sometimes an album title arrives like a voice from across time. For Johanna Samuels, 'Sorry, Kid' began as a message to her younger self, part apology and part recognition. Gathering songs written as far back as 2007 alongside newer work, the album bridges nearly two decades of lived experience. The record holds 70s tones without leaning on them, drawing from a lineage of melody and restraint while staying fully alive in its own time. It feels lived in, steady, and quietly powerful, like something finally understood without needing to be explained. The result is intimate and fully realized, songs that began as questions now settling into something like resolution.

Melanie Radford

For The Sake Of Stillness

'For the Sake of Stillness', her debut solo album, is an offering of music that asks you to pay attention. Most of the songs are at a walking pace, mimicking the long walks through foreign cities and the observant headspace they come from. 'For the Sake of Stillness' was recorded during and in-between touring, coming together over years as a centering practice and statement of self. An ambient score of natural sounds from these wanderings flows under many of the songs, records of place: the rhythm of footsteps on crisp ground, birdsong, rain falling outside, an impatient car shouldering into distant traffic, the pulse of the ocean, the warm texture of unintelligible and overlapping conversations. These pocket recordings interweaving with the music give an added impression of closeness. We hear the place in the music, and the music is a window into what was felt there. Like an invitation into a daydream, a view into someone's private world. The music is quiet, dreamy, steady and self-assured. There's a rhythmic heartbeat and little flares of exuberance: touches of magic and awe everywhere. It channels the disparate moments and impressions collected in her tours through the U.S., Europe, Australia, Brazil, and unifies them through the strength of Melanie's artistic personality and perspective.

Møtrik

EARTH

Once called “America’s Best Krautrock Band,” Møtrik has long since outgrown the boundaries of geography and imitation. On 'EARTH', their fourth full-length album, the Portland-based quintet sheds genre pastiche and boldly steps into their own orbit—less homage, more evolution. Where early sci-fi like 'Astounding Stories' imagined futures grounded in scientific plausibility, 'EARTH' occupies a realm where machinery hums with feeling and cosmic logic collides with soul. Here, synths shimmer with stardust, rhythms churn like solar flares, and vocals drift like signals from a lost planet.

From the gravity-defying pulse of 'Weightless' to the tidal reckoning of 'Ultimate Drive', Møtrik charts a course through disorientation, beauty, and the sublime unknown. This isn’t retro-futurism—it’s the future, now. No tin-cone breastplates, no cartoon ladybots, no techbro rockets. Just fully realized sonic transmissions where science meets magic, and krautrock becomes something galactic. Møtrik aren’t just referencing the genre—they’re rewriting it. Thirteen years in, it’s time to upgrade the superlative. Call them what they are: the galaxy’s best krautrock band.

Califone

The Villager's Companion

Like a passenger riding shotgun on a road trip, The Villagers Companion offers its own unique perspective and story to tell. Featuring tracks recorded alongside last year’s acclaimed villagers, TVC captures the miles between the start and destination—the faded gas station pit stops, the plastic saint statue stuck to the dashboard for safe travels or luck. It embodies the essence of the journey without the burden of driving—the experience of the ride itself. The album takes us through the heart of Califone’s magic: reverb-drenched piano chords, electronic whirs, and layers of experimental noise. Guided by Tim Rutili’s abstract, fragmented lyrics—both strange and familiar—delivered through his warm, well-worn vocals, it creates an experience as evocative as it is haunting. Often passing through what seem to be the spaces between radio frequencies, the stations never meant to be heard. Crackles of static, feedback loops, and fleeting signals bloom into meditative moments, with each sound given space to breathe, unravel, and shimmer in slow decay.

The result resonates deeply, transforming what might be noise into something profound, hypnotic, and totally immersive. As with villagers, Rutili and company continue to explore what it means to get lost while surrounded by modern technology. Like a ghost in a machine or a whispered prayer stuck in a telephone line, Califone adds soul—be it damned or saved. And they do so with the kind of transformative magic granted perhaps only to artists a quarter of a century into their craft. The kind that turns a photograph into a tableau, or any darkened space with a microphone into a makeshift confessional. A song into a hymn, and a hymn into a soundtrack to a life.

Jose Medeles Feat. M Ward, Marisa Anderson & Chris Funk

Railroad Cadences & Melancholic Anthems

Led by drummer Jose Medeles (Breeders, 1939 Ensemble, Revival Drum Shop), Railroad Cadences & Melancholic Anthems is a drummer's tribute to guitarist and DIY iconoclast John Fahey.

Joined for a series of guitar and drum duets with M. Ward, experimental guitarist Marisa Anderson, and Chris Funk (Decemberists, Stephen Malkmus), it's a genuinely honorifc project, featuring not Fahey compositions, but rather a series of improvised rendezvous inspired and informed by his looseness and rhythmic idiosyncrasies. Recording in the comfortable setting of Bocce Recording in Vancouver, WA, in 2020, these duets are playful and spiritually deep, presented with snapshot clarity Medeles likens to the recordings of Alan Lomax or Chris Strachwitz, 'who boldly captured feld recording of Southern chain gangs and juke joint raconteurs decades ago. The result here is similar: pure and honest recordings.'
