Track 1: Bill Orcutt – A Natural Death

A pre-release track from a new album, Jump On It, out in April.

Track 2: Jon Hassell – Adedara Rising (The Living City)

I think I meant to play a live recording of this I saw linked to from Mastodon, but when I went back to look this was the version I could find.

Track 3: Drahla – Lip Sync

New track from a band played regularly by Michele with one L over on WFMU.

Track 4: Jeweled Snakes – Who Do You Think You Are?

Jeweled Snakes are an Oakland band featuring an ex-member of the Phantom Limbs.

Track 5: GHOULA – Drum & Gasba

Checking out another track from this Paris based musician.

From a benefit compilation of Turkish musicians, Solidarity With February 2023 Earthquake Victims, put out by Les Disques Bongo Joe, with proceeds going to benefit the victims of the February Earthquakes.

Track 7: Bakarin Flow – Nani Boy

Another find via the “Afro Jams of the Week” feature over on Passion of the Weiss.

Track 8: Dax Pierson – Keflex

From the Nerve Bumps (A Queer Divine Dissatisfaction) album, which I found via Ratskin records.

Track 9: Dry Cleaning – Sombre Two

An interesting instrumental from a band known for their dry spoken vocals.

Track 10: Cowboy Junkies – Highway Kind

The previous track reminded me of Cowboy Junkies a little bit, so I dug around and found this Townes Van Zandt cover.
