Abronia:From the first thud of their 32-inch bass drum to the coil of pedal steel winding through the haze, the sound of this Portland-based six-piece is unmistakable. Over the past decade, Abronia has been refining their singular blend of widescreen psychedelia, desert noir, Eastern drone, avant-jazz, doom, post-punk, and acid-folk—channeling something that feels at once ritualistic and cinematic. With pedal steel, tenor sax, guitars, bass, commanding vocals, and that ever-present oversized drum (no drum set here), their lineup alone sets them apart. But it's the way these elements cohere—graceful, unhinged, unorthodox—that makes their sound feel like its own weather system....

On Shapes Unravel, their fourth studio album, Abronia pushes deeper into both composition and feeling. The band's lineup has shifted slightly since the last one, but the chemistry remains intact. Shaver has put down the sticks and moved to guitar, Danny Metcalfe has stepped in on bass, and Robert Grubaugh (who previously filled in on a European tour with the band) has taken over on the big drum. Eric Crespo's guitar and backing vocals remain a driving force, while Rick Pedrosa continues to carve strange and searing shapes with pedal steel. Keelin Mayer’s vocals—whether leaning into viciousness or hypnotic intimacy—are a stronger force than ever, while her tenor sax and, on one song, flute (as showcased on “Gemini”) threaten to send the whole thing into the stratosphere. The addition of strings and brass—viola, cello, violin, and trumpet—on tracks like “Mirrored End of Light” and “Gemini” brings an orchestral depth that expands their sonic language without diluting its punch. Sonically, this is Abronia’s most ambitious and compositionally daring record to date—imagine Morricone scoring a fever dream for Jodorowsky, or Haight-Ashbury’s ghosts colliding with Malaria in a windswept canyon, all filtered through the musical butterfly net approach of Sun City Girls. The album moves with a strange gravitational pull, layering grief, haunted memory, and flashes of transcendence into something emotionally expansive and structurally bold. Moments of crushing weight give way to eerie stillness, held together by an urgency that feels vital—not calculated. It's a record that doesn't politely wait for your attention; it pulls you into its orbit whether you're ready or not.
Jackie-O Motherfucker:
Jackie-O Motherfucker's music draws from a variety of subgenres including various folk musics of the world (American folk and blues, Traditional English folk ballads, etc.), drone, free jazz, and space rock, and is heavily improvisational in its nature. Because they are a collective, rather than a consistent band or group, the sound of their music can change from performance to performance. The group operates its own label of CD-R live recordings, the U-Sound Archive, which features concert recordings from Jackie-O Motherfucker as well as like-minded subterranean artists such as Double Leopards, Sunroof!, Decaer Pinga, and Vibracathedral Orchestra.
