File under: atmospheric rock we like. In this case, it’s the Anacortes, Washington band Hungry Cloud Darkening. The trio have played in the live version of Mt. Eerie, and they share a fantastic sense of atmosphere with that group. Through blissed-out drones and slowly burgeoning vocal harmonies, “Clearly Seen” sneaks up on you, then leaves you flooded. The album on which it can be heard, Glossy Recall, is out on October 7th. Listen to “Clearly Seen” below.

  Very simply: there’s a new EP out now from J. Robbins, of Jawbox/Burning Airlines/Channels/Office of Future Plans fame. It’s six songs total, and finds him delving into his back catalog (along with one new song), accompanied by some of his Office of Future Plans bandmates. And, as with much of his work, it’s quite catchy. It’s called Abandoned Mansions, and it’s available digitally via Bandcamp.
