Live Review: The Lovely Eggs & The Secret Rivals
A Monday night in the cramped, sweaty upstairs of the Port Mahon pub in Oxford can be a challenge. Windows are firmly sealed shut, there is but one small entrance in and out, no bar, odours abound, personal space is elsewhere, and a chisel is useful to free the soles of your shoes from the floor. In fact, it was like being back at a … Continue reading Live Review: The Lovely Eggs & The Secret Rivals
New Single From Duquette Johnston & The Rebel Kings
The video for Duquette Johnston‘s single Roll Baby Roll (out now on Communicating Vessels) is a celebration of freedom, innocence and nostalgia. The clip features surreal vintage vignettes set to Johnston’s driving boogie and infectious holler-along refrain. And this week, the song is featured on the season finale of ABC’s Private Practice. Johnston is currently in the studio with producer Armand Margjeka, putting the finishing touches on his … Continue reading New Single From Duquette Johnston & The Rebel Kings
Padang Food Tigers Video
We discovered this via one of our favourite blogs Raven Sings The Blues, but confess to a personal reason for posting this beautifully judged, sepia-tinged video accompanying an equally mellow, pastoral folk instrumental by Padang Food Tigers. It is simply called For Esmé and for anyone who knows us, that is reason enough to post. a This comes from the LP Ready Country Nimbus released last week on … Continue reading Padang Food Tigers Video
New Album From Shake The Baron
Shake The Baron’s new album is called Ghost Hits and is released on June 12th via Super Duper Records. It is a true rock album that is simultaneously bursting with jangly energy and shimmering, clean precision. Lyrically, it’s honest and sometimes dark with classic themes of lost love, false friendships, and the confusion of existence. But musically speaking, the songs are joyous, with ambitious guitar-driven … Continue reading New Album From Shake The Baron
MM Shorts 158: Hallelujah The Hills New Track
We’re loving this new track from a band called Hallelujah The Hills, which features a guest appearance from another MM fave in the shape of the ethereally beautiful Marissa Nadler. This is Hungry Ghost Extraordinaire, a wholly absorbing and lyrically scalpel sharp track that has one of the best opening lines to a song we’ve heard for a good, long while and doesn’t let up from that moment … Continue reading MM Shorts 158: Hallelujah The Hills New Track
New Single From The Tallest Man On Earth
For anyone who missed it, the Tallest Man On Earth has made his new single 1904 available for free download via Rolling Stone. We’re posting it here too, though fully expecting it to be taken down as we’re sure the powers that be will decree it should only be free from one place on the web. If so use the link provided to grab it. Anyway, … Continue reading New Single From The Tallest Man On Earth

MM Shorts 157: New Single From Terry Malts
Terry Malts, although peculiarly named for a band, peddle a raucous, highly contagious line in punk rock and latest single Disconnect is no exception. It is part of a split 7″ with Dead Angle, available from Loglady Records (order here). Have a listen… a Continue reading MM Shorts 157: New Single From Terry Malts
Howe Gelb’s Giant Giant Sand
