Terrapin interview with Free Download of Innermachine LP
Terrapin – innermachine. Cover art by Andrew Wilson.
There’s a wistful mystique surrounding this wonderful album by LA/So Cal psychedelic, shoegazey rock band The Terrapin. As the LP followup to their Kill… EP, innermachine captures the band at both its creative height and melancholy parting of ways.
“The innermachine line-up of the band reached a point where it became difficult for the interpersonal to be separate from the music,” shares Rufo Chan, drummer of The Terrapin. “It was [...]

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real new LP Wasted added to DHR!
Here at DHR, we’re well known for specializing our focus on bands who may not necessarily receive the widespread attention they deserve based on the quality of their music. And we love it; we love it, and want you to know about it and love it too, that’s why we do it. All the same, it so happens that we also boast some huge names as well – cats like Dr. John, Kirk Fletcher (Dirty Dozen Brass Band), Groundation, Fat [...]

The Spyrals, out on Mock Records.
We’re proud to announce the inclusion of San Franciscan psychedelic outfit The Spyrals on DHR, courtesy of Los Angeles indie record label Mock Records.

The band’s interests include, “Banging away on stringed instruments. Singing. Beer. Camping. Hiking. Drinking coffee. Listening to records. Road trips.” We’re so already there…

It’s bluegrass, man; it’s folk, old-time, and country; it’s “A Damn Good Time with [...]
Laike acid folk LP just added from Sweden!
The first and only words to us from Christofer Ståhle were, “I’m a dirty hippie who just released an acid folk album…” Boy, did he pick the right website to reach out to…
Ståhle hardly could have known that I, co-founder of DHR, possess one of those strangely unique penchants for acid folk music. In particular: U.K. acid folk, which is the realm wandered by Laike: Ståhle’s solo project that brings us the LP “Långt från stadslivets dån” (Far From the [...]
VUM LP “Night Sun” recently added!
As wolves serenade the Moon,
She smiles at their croon,
While wading in glimmering pools,
Rolling eyes at crazed fools,
Admiring herself with silver giggle,
Hiding beneath the shimmering riddle,
That no creature dances tonight,
Below magical moonlight,
For she knows she has none,
They worship the Night Sun.
Night Sun, by Jeff Vincent (inspired by The Moon, Donner Pass, and VUM)
Our placid pools were so disturbed by VUM’s debut release of “Strange Attractor,” that we tossed and turned sweaty nights away in angst-riddled anticipation for the follow up [...]
Soul Seeking with Kevin Sousa
“There was a seminal moment where I asked myself how honest I was going to be with this, with the reader… and I said fuck it, I gotta put out what’s me.”
