With the world wide word shortage due to Wordle becoming “a whole thing,” we’re doing our part by presenting you with two new instrumental tracks from Captain Rico & The Ghost Band and John DiStase Music.

From France we get a fine slice of surf rock via Captain Rico & The Ghost Band, the appropriately tasteful yet flashy “Dracula On A Skateboard.” Is there a skate move called The Renfield? If not there should be. Surf rock is one of those genres where often times the more traditional the better, and this certainly is a good example of that. Bass and drums keeping it simple to let the clean reverbed out lines of guitar shred and drip in equal measure. Definitely give this one a spin with the headphones on as there’s some fun left-right panning happening in the song. Keep your garlic and grip tape handy just in case.

A much less straight forward affair than the song above, but none the less just as charming, “Eleven Days After” by John DiStase Music moves through ambient jazz, prog, blues and rock in one fluid journey that manages to make each shift feel natural. Rather than a stitched together quilt of distinct styles, DiStase blurs the lines to give a vibe of one ever changing continuity, a sonic tide pouring into a basin dark and churning, light and foamy, all interconnected and one.
