Portland, Oregon's perennially groovy Ten Dollar Recording Company label

An obvious strain of melodic experimentation seems to have gotten the better of many of TDRCo鈥檚 artists, and there鈥檚 a host of elements here that stem from a bygone era, mined at this present juncture to solidly backward-looking yet forward-leaning pyschedelic effect.

"A Hint of Christmas Contempt" by Mo Douglas & Mariya May (Official Video) 12/20/2024

馃巹A HINT OF CHRISTMAS CONTEMPT馃巹is a beautiful and wordless Christmas ballad that is brand new鈥攁nd yet feels eerily familiar because it contains the universal sounds of Christmas cheer. Absolutely positively a fantastic listening experience. Enjoy.

We're Comin' Up 10/05/2024

"We鈥檙e Comin' Up" is the bold new song from What In Your Heart Can Put You In a Trance鈥攁 collaborative and layered track created by Mariya May, Prince Joely, Mo Douglas, and Ryan Massad. It features a high energy psychedelic funk melody set to an infectious beat that never lets up. It鈥檚 a joyous song with attitude and catchy lyrics brought to vibrant life with dreamy vocals.

But don鈥檛 get too comfortable. Right when you鈥檝e melted all the way into the groove, you're thrown out on your ass and left in the alleyway wanting more."

Prince Joely's New Album DOG WATER Out Now!

"To longtime followers of Portland's always stellar Ten Dollar Recording Co, it's no secret that one of the label's most notable and long running sounding boards is a steadfast in-house appreciation of seismically deep, experimental dub. And to wit, no one is blowing more smoke (metaphorical and otherwise) onto those vinyl grooves than resident TDRCo soundscapist Prince Joely. Back at it with full length Dog Water, Joely is in top form on an album that smokes and smolders its way from one multipolar musical conflagration to the next, while yet maintaining a graceful, playful fluidity throughout. Always hewing close to the genre's gyrating home base of groove, Dog Water, and Joely's output in general, manages to avoid dub's more unfortunate (and numerous) forays into the smoked out, hacky sack landscape of cliche tropes that define so many other releases.

Along with frequent TDRCo collaborators Mo Douglas and Mariya May, Prince Joely charts his own path on Dog Water, employing the dub frame as an exploratory tool first and foremost but running the voodoo down to often unexpected places, employing melody and cadence and repetition in a way that feels fresh and engaging. Initial jumping off points become deeper dives into an ambient, subterranean world beat that's both front and center as well as soundtrack fantastica. Tracks like "Enjoy Your Life", "Black Light Tan", and "Day Dream Juice" take their time to simmer and swagger, gently cooking on a steady, low heat, alongside downtempo forays like "Dark Orange Nebulous" and "Fresh Rains". and unexpectedly hybridized forays into alien melodic territory on tracks like "The Empathizer (Sha Na Na)" and "Stop Drop & Roll". Cook up another batch of that collie w**d and corn bread, this one is gonna go all night." (Reed Burnam )
