We’ve been fans of the ramshackle folk and lo-fi psychedelia of Woods since Songs of Shame back in 2009. On 14th June they will be releasing Sun & Shades on Woodsist. Until then, you can tickle your ears with a listen to the sinuous pastoral folk and falsetto of Pushing Onlys from the album. a Continue reading New from Woods
Treetop Flyers have just been crowned winners of the Glastonbury Emerging Talent contest, winning themselves a slot on the main-stage at this year’s event. Beating off competition from a host of excellent, unsigned acts (picked by a broad selection of UK bloggers over the last few months) the London quintet impressed the judges – including Michael and Emily Eavis – enough to bag themselves the … Continue reading Treetop Flyers Are Glastonbury Bound
We were delighted to discover Sunderbans have a new EP, Wolf Heart due out today. The release succeeds the band’s feature on Huw Stevens’ Music Sounds Better With Huw VOL 2 compilation last autumn, and their brilliant debut 7″ single We Only Can Because We Care released by Young and Lost. Inspired partly by the descent to insanity induced by the days and nights spent locked … Continue reading Sunderbans Announce New EP
Seems like there is a Philadelphia theme happening by chance today…following our Work Drugs post earlier comes the intriguingly titled The Shortest Man On Earth, being the latest release from Sweet Lights. It retains the slightly retro feel of the recent self-titled album, and is another beautifully judged excursion into the world of classic sunshine and psych rock – imagine if Spiritualized played Americana with … Continue reading New Single from Sweet Lights

Download Work Drugs – Curious Serge mp3 (Digital Single) See them live with Two Door Cinema Club in April. 06 … Continue reading Work Drugs Album Release
Soulful, country rockers Ha Ha Tonka release their new album Death Of A Decade on 5th April via Bloodshot Records. To be honest, we’d never really clicked with the band before now. However, lead track Usual Suspects has changed all that! So much so, that while we look forward to the new record, we’re going to be going back to the old stuff and listening … Continue reading Ha Ha Tonka To Release Death Of A Decade
We posted the excellent single release Deadbeat by Brooklyn’s Hunters back in early February. A song we described as “The Vaselines making music with The Ruts on a chaotic acid binge.” Now we have a track from their self-titled, name your price EP, which is available here on Bandcamp. Visceral, tribal, and anthemic. Start your weekend with a bang! Download Hunters – Brat Mouth mp3 … Continue reading More from Hunters
We’re back to Friday (just). There’s no fool like an April fool, ay MM? MM and I continue to be perplexed about why the long lost post of last May (Happy Anniversary Mrs Mackerel) remains in the top ten posts. Is it because the title was written in caps? There’s bugger all to it, really. Best make MM write something really special this anniversary. Speaking … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (1st April)
