Even More Freebies From the Archives - Downloadable Bandcampers - Phase 3

Perhaps you doubted us. Perhaps we doubted ourselves. Perhaps we waited too long. Perhaps we didn't wait long enough. But here we are, hat and fappy and thrusting and bursting with more free & legal downloadables we've rounded up from the Powerpopulist Archives. We just now checked each and every and verified that all are indeed available for either Free or Name-Your-Price Download. Clicking /////bc will take you to the appropriate Bandcamp download page. As before, if you get to Bandcamp and find a song has a price attached, do one of three things: 1) Click "Buy the Full Digital Album" and be taken to the page where it's downloadable for free or name-your-price (in which case, type "0"in the pricebox); 2) Click the album name just under the song name at the top left-hand side of the Bandcamp page; 3) Pay money to buy the song. We attach no particular importance to the number of songs in this Phase 3 playlist (69); that's simply the way it turned out. Most of the songs are powerpop, indiepop. janglepop, and other kinds of hooky, melodic pop, but this list is a bit more varied than the previous two. It includes some shoegaze, some crunch, and even has a wad of bubblegum stuck in there somewhere. We hope you find plenty to cop, feel, and flow with dopaminiacally. Oh, and, yes, we do have the aforepromised SoundCloud and straight mp3-linked downloadable playlists pretty much ready to post, and when that will be done is anybody's guess. Doubt us do ye? Good move. Click appropriately to find the 50 free and legals in Phase 1 and 50 more in Phase 2.

Let Your Free Flag Fly: Monster Summer of '18 Extravagonzo of Psych

Monster, yes, but don't let that scare you. As we don't quite know what the future of this blog will be, we decided to go through our backlog of "songs in waiting" and offer up a bunch of our favorite psych songs for free and legal download. If this goes as planned, we might well do the same with some powerpop, indiepop, janglepop, etc., in the near future.

This post is built for speed (of posting), so we're eschewing extraneous comment (Hey, pp, all your "comment" is extraneous, so who're you trying to kid??? <== Hurtful, maan/womaan, hurtful.) and getting right to the business at hand. If you like a song and want to download it, clicking its title should take you to its Bandcamp download page. Further clicking at Bandcamp can usually take you to the home LP or EP from which the song comes, with more songs, Facebook and bandpage links, etc. available. We hope you'll find some songs to like, love, and own.

These finds come from many sources, but we'd especially like to pay tribute to Psychgazer for numerous clue-ins. You rock, maan/womaan!

BTW, the songs are in reverse chronological order, beginning with our most recent finds and stretching back to approximately May 2017. Actually, this isn't all the psych we've found, so we might do another monster psych thing someday.












Take a breather, maan/womaan; you've earned it.

Faves from The Final Active Listener Sampler: Fogbound, Invaderband, Nuvem Leopardo, Emily Jones

First, the good news: we've just been graced with a new and customarily fab comp of psych and poppsych from The Active Listener. Now the bad: as any fool (and we proudly qualify) can tell by the sampler title, it's the last one from the marvelous Master Nathan Ford. We've been enriched by his superb comps for several years now and thank him most heartily. Below are our four most fave from this swansong of songs. You can download all 21 tunes for a mere $1 total. (Readers in Lesotho will of course pay in loti. Bandcamp should help you convert to your local currency.)


Those Fogbound freebies we posted previously are still freely available here.

Melody Fields - "Morning Sun"

We encountered this excellent song by Gothenburgers Melody Fields at Psychgazer's July Psych Playlist and found it has genuine sax appeal, especially around the 1:54 mark. Maybe you did too? More music here.

Black Liquid Drop Drop The Drop

Whoaaaaaa, Faultless Spray is our brand, too!!! Coo.

We love the driving, jangly psych through which these Austinites aim to keep their native city weird.

Supercherruy "doesn't wanna share it," but We Do.

Uptempo psych in a big WAVE file, so you might want to convert to mp3. Found at Psychgazer post .106, which has some pretty pstunning pstuff. More freebies at Londoners' SoundCloud page. Facebook 'em 'ere.

Fogbound at SoundCloud

You might remember we included a nice one by A Coruña psychpoppers Fogbound in this TAL post of February 2014. We recently reencountered them while making our way through Psychgazer's excellent SPAINchedelic post and ended up downloading a bunch of free and legals at SoundCloud. Here are a few of our favorite excelentes. If you like, click here and get more. Click the down arrows to download.

Plum Excellent.

Plum purty.

We previously posted these Denver psychpoppers here and here and are highly (psych "humour") chuffed to hear them here again. And once again it's thanks to the excellent blog The Revue we are prompted to do so. So go there and give them and yourself some groovy kindsa luv or stay here and get some and then go there. It's really up to you, you know. Oh, wait, we do want to celebrate The Revue's groovy news of the forthcoming Plum EP to be "dropped" next Friday, 11dec15 (title cut below). Now go. Or stay. Etc.***

Once again, this is a huge (54.2 or 54.1 MB--we've seen it both ways) WAVE file, so you might want to convert it to mp3 to, you know, save drivespace. Again, your call. We gave detailed instructions in a previous Plumpost. Btw, those previous songs we posted are still available for free download. 

***Yes, we too've seen other bloggers make these cutesy-fruitsy, self-satisfied stabs at breezy cleverness, and it makes us sick, too.

Love, Hippies & Gangsters

Love? Check. Hippies? Sure. Gangsters? Thanks to The Active Listener for the headsup on this London-based headband. We mostly love #'s 1 & 2. More at Bandcamp and Facebook.

A Glaze of Glaze of Cathexis

Yes, only a thin coating for now, but click here, here, and here and you can go much, much deeper (or higher) with Dr. Schluss, aka Matthew Comegys, aka Glaze of Cathexis, of Maebashi, Gunma, Japan. Trippin' already? You've only just begun. Anyway, our remarkably intelligent telephone just now reminded us we'd scored the first song below some time back and it was high time we got off our bloggy bee hinds and sent it forth. We're also adding a couple of the more poppy numbers we love. You want more, you know where you can go.

As you know (or maybe don't, it pstill holds), we're quite willing psuckers for the kind of psuccor this excellent pstuff affords our needy psyches. Many thanks to Jessi at Banter Media for psending it our way. And pspeaking of "way," BTW, we were once planning to write a psong called "(Too Many Psongs) Have Parenthesized Titles" but have now changed our minds.

Promise Kept: Saturna Burns

The word "excited" has been popping up here with regularity of late, and who's complaining? That's how I felt back in December when I first heard from Portland psych/pop/gazers Saturna, and it's enhanced by this promise kept. I grooved heartily to their EP . . .All Night, and lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ryan Carroll said he'd let me know when the full album was ready. It is and he has. And Some Delicious Enemy is a most tasty burner. Some groups come out blasting, lasering cortices with abandon. Saturna can do that but they also have that rare power of imperceptibly touching the kindling, gradually clouding you into slackjaw pleasure until you eventually realize, "Hmmm, I'm baking. Yo, foe, I got something for you here. Over easy, please." Delicious ain't just for the tongue.
