Jam in the Stream follows up on his longer piece about London psych pop artist Muthi, who dropped the single, “This Could Be It,” on March 7. But there’s more, including the release of song-themed incense sticks, his thoughts on the song “Power Boat,” and word of a music video from Mcbaise.

Jam in the Stream caught up with Muthi’s Matt Christensen ahead of its third single, “This Could Be It,” which will be released on Friday (March 7). The album is tentatively titled, Witchcraft, which happens to be the name of the last single.

A lot happened while Jam in the Stream’s editor was away, off the grid, for a month. Here’s a wrap-up of the biggest news regarding Phish and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard during that time.

An exclusive interview with McBess, the illustrator behind the music project Mcbaise, the funky, jazzy indie psych band that anchors London-based Dirty Melody Records. Jam in the Stream editor Javier Serna caught up with McBess at a pub in the Shoreditch neighborhood of London in late February, 2023. If you like chill, psychedelic music, and you know about Mcbaise’s music, you’ll want to read this. If you like chill, psychedelic music, and you don’t know about Mcbaise, you NEED to read this.

Jam in the Stream weighs in not on the Goose show itself, per say, that rolled through Minnesota Sunday but the polarizing aspect that three up-and-coming bands have sparked the past few years. It’s OK to like, or not like, any or all of them. But it would be better if we all just remembered to be kind to one another.

Check out Jam in the Stream’s first album review. It’s London-based Mcbaise’s debut 2014 album Seabass, which is somewhat of a postcard to the South of France, where the musician/illustrator grew up. Periodically, Jam in the Stream will review albums new and old from a variety of genres, from fusion jazz to psychedelic rock. Mcbaise, while known by some, comes up with some of the coolest songs too many people have never heard. Also, look out for an interview with Mcbaise later this month.
