Wild Wild Wets (now pared down to a rock trio) drops Prisom this week via their own label and Grizzly Records. “The name Prisom comes from a friend who had been too caught up in the psychedelic world of her making,” says singer-keyboardist Mike Turi (also of COMMANDc alongside fellow former member of the Old In Out, Rory Truesdale). “As the flowers began to wilt, she could see her prism vision imprison the freedom she had longed for in the first place.” Prisom was tracked at L.A.’s Seahorse Studios (aka Handbag Factory) with Chris Kasych, who has recorded Wavves, Vampire Weekend, Haim, and Bruce Springsteen, as well as helping to record and mix the Wild Wild Wets record, 14th Floor. The release marks the official return of drummer Marco Piro to the lineup.

Dirty Money Breaks by Jake Najor (Sure Fire Soul Ensemble) is geared for DJs, beat makers, crate diggers, and break collectors, with digital unedited stems of various drum breaks. Recorded by Tim Felton at the Kitchen II studio and mastered by Markie B for Better Beat Bureau, the “full drum kit right out of the box” is available digitally and on 7-inch vinyl.

Jazz siblings the Mattson 2 plan to release Mattson 2 Play A Love Supreme on August 17. “I would consider it an LP, as we perform John Coltrane’s masterpiece in its entirety,” says Jared Mattson. “The piece was conceived originally as a tribute to Coltrane’s spirituality, but even more so as a culmination piece showcasing the incredible transcendent chemistry the Coltrane Quartet was experiencing at that point in time. As twin brothers, Jonathan and I share similar higher levels of consciousness, simply as a result of our DNA.”
