Here are some tunes to purchase on this Bandcamp Friday, May 2!

• Miynt – Rain Money Dogs Dreamy, lackadaisical pop from Sweden. Hints of Mazzy Star and Elysian Fields. Pre-order this album that comes out on May 30th and get four tracks now.

• Steve Queralt – Swallow This is another pre-order recommendation because you don’t want to wait to get the brilliant track “Lonely Town” that features Emma Anderson! Queralt (Ride) and Anderson (Lush/Sing-Sing) join forces on two tracks of his debut solo album.

• Jessica Lea Mayfield – Choose Myself Mayfield creates some of the saddest music in the world. This five song EP is no exception. I think of Mayfield as a descendant of Lisa Germano. Bonus: Rhett Miller (Old 97’s) appears on Choose Myself. I’m super excited to catch her on tour with Lucero this autumn.

• Momma – Welcome to My Blue Sky Blissful alternative rock, with touches of shoegaze, from L.A. They’re currently on tour with my next pick …

• Wishy – Planet Popstar These Indianapolis up-and-comers made it onto my Favorite Albums list last year with their debut full-length Triple Seven. When I bought Triple Seven on vinyl at Nice Price Books and Records, both staff members were ecstatic. Wishy makes me hopeful for the future of alternative rock.

• terraplana – Natural This Brazilian outfit trades in shoegaze, dream pop, and noise pop with aplomb.

• Alex Lahey – Don’t Wanna Know / Rock & Roll Queen “Don’t Wanna Know” is a power pop gem that I listen to on repeat. “Rock & Roll Queen” is the cover I didn’t know I needed.
