San Francisco’s Split Screens is a band started by frontman Jesse Cafiero that aims to “capture a reality from different perspectives.” Their song “The Sinner” is a psychedelic-indie style track from a limited-edition seven-inch release back in March. “Stand Alone” features a variety of different unique instruments, including horns, autoharp and heavy synths. Download both tracks below, and check out the awesome mix tape that Cafiero made for MAGNET as well.

Jimi Hendrix “Manic Depression“
It’s pretty hard to pick just one Hendrix song, but this one just has such an unmistakable groove. Mitch Mitchell’s drumming on this is totally insane. Video
Delicate Steve “Don’t Get Stuck (Proud Elephants)“
Delicate Steve is one of my favorite artists making music these days. This is one of my favorite melodies of his. I’ve definitely played along with this one on my lap steel many many times! Video
Radiohead “Pyramid Song“
I love how the drums come in on this one; such a dreamy tune. Plus the lyrics are amazing! Video
Alpha Blondy “Come Back Jesus“
This is what I call a summer reggae jam. One of my favorite bass lines ever. Video
David Axelrod “Songs Of Innocence“
Get transported to late-1960s L.A. with this one. Great music for driving! Video
Santo & Johnny “Summertime“
Just an amazing-sounding record and phenomenal pedal steel playing. Listen to that vinyl crackle! Video
The Beatles “Within You Without You“
Just pure magic, I always loved George the best! Video
