Heres an old obscure band from the bay area that played thick hazy dreamo........the sound here is almost identical to castor...If I didnt know better and came into this totally blind id think these songs were outtakes from "tracking sounds alone" the two bands are so much alike. In any case this stuff is fantastic and well worth a listen or 60.......

Song of the day saturday

Been listening to a shitload of TITD recently. "Willpower" is a top 5 album all time of any genre.

Things I've been listening to lately
Thought I'd make a post about some records/bands I think are tops in 2019:
Lanterns "end time blues" (2016)
I listened to this album more than anything else over the past year or so. Easily not just the best album of 2016 but the best album of the past 3 years. In 10 years people will rediscover this gem and wonder why it didnt sell a billion copies and get a ton of airplay. If you could find the perfect middle ground between tenement and no knife, this record would occupy it. Replacements-esque melodic punk meets dreamy hook filled indie rock. Wall to wall jams from top to bottom with "spaceman falls","bad dreams","sonic you" and "bad thoughts time capsule" being the standout tracks. Check it out:
https://lanterns.bandcamp.com/album/end-times-blues
The life and times self titled (2017)
The kings of space rock drop their latest lp and its excellent. If you've heard TLAT before, you know what to expect. Atmospheric jams and dreamy riffs. Standout tracks include "we know" "killing queens" and "I am the wedding cake"
https://thelifeandtimes.bandcamp.com/album/the-life-and-times
Enoument "composure"(2018) & "lie"(2019) tapes
Enoument are a band from Cardiff, Wales. They play rough edged melodic emo/hardcore in the vein of Alloy, Rusty James or small dog frenzy, the vocalist even has a very aaron Hobbs-esque quality to his voice. Excellent stuff in a style that hasnt really been played much by anyone in the past 15 years or so.

Found some photos...
So the couple 35mm rolls I had rolling around in my drawers werent the goldmine I thought theyd be 😥 (I was certain I had a full roll from a pg99/TDOA/LLBNF/Tion/Scumbrigade show from the summer of 2000 but NOPE).
Anyways heres a few photos of the band atrium from summer 2002.
These I'm pretty sure were from a show at muggs in ypsilanti with pg99,the wake,the parallax view, clark, black dahlia murder (before they blew up) wafflehouse* and American nightmare (who jumped on the show after theirs at the refuge in detroit got cancelled).....why I only have 4 pics from that show when I'm certain I took more than that remains a mystery to me......anyways atrium were a short lived, dual vocalled melodic black metal/hardcore band from detroit who put out a cdep which is the only thing I'm aware of them having released. Even though I lost the CD a long time ago and havent heard them in over a decade, I remember them being very good live.
Bonus: me circa 1999:
