We’ve posted about the much under-rated psych-pop-folk of Pepper Rabbit in the past, and we’re hoping that their forthcoming new album Red Velvet Snow Ball will get them much more of the attention they surely deserve. We have a couple of tasters from the record for you. Murder Room (via Stereogum) is a cracker, the dark undertone takes its time to bubble to the surface before dragging … Continue reading New from Pepper Rabbit

This is young London rock band R O M A N C E. Their angular guitars, tribal drumming, creeping bass lines and soaring vocals have, so we’re reliably informed, already led them to being hailed as the pioneers of the growing ‘glam noir’ movement.

The Parson Red Heads will release their latest album, Yearling on August 16th. A band full of truly talented musicians, whose music harkens to the most prolific and inventive elements in the canon of West Coast psych-folk, the band’s music is intricate, gorgeous and rich – in fact it is the perfect match for the warm harmonies of Blind Atlas who we posted about yesterday.

We thoroughly enjoyed the repetitive electonica and stoner grooves of Suuns debut album Zeroes QC, which called to mind the best bits of Clinic, Suicide and Slowdive in equal measure. Since the release, Suuns have built a reputation for supremely intense live shows, but this is maybe the first video that has properly captured the sheer force of their live performance. The new video comes via … Continue reading Suuns – New Video & Tour
It is always a pleasure to discover a new Brown Bird song, and even more so when it heralds a new album from the wonderfully talented folk duo.
