This is something else we’re way too late on, but still something else that is too good not to share… We are big fans of Well Hung Heart’s and their idea for a brand new TV show Made In 48 is a brilliant one. The concept of the show is that Well Hung Heart team up with other musicians and have to write, record, conceptualise, … Continue reading Check Out Well Hung Heart’s TV Show
This has been up on many blogs already, but we figured one more re-post wouldn’t hurt. The following is reproduced from Graveface Records Soundcloud page and is about the Jason Molina Tribute Album to raise funds for his family. From William Schaff: “Back in January of this year, I received a message from a friend of Jason’s, Tara Samaha. Like so many of us were, … Continue reading Jason Molina Tribute Album – Weary Engine Blues
Watch Broken Anchor’s video for Never Leave Me Alone which is one of our favourite songs of the moment. We also have The Joy Formidable’s unusually shot live video for Little Blimp filmed entirely from a GoPro cam attached to the neck of Ritzy’s guitar at different live shows including SXSW, and their recent tourmates We Are Animal’s video for Royal Wolf. And to finish … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Broken Anchor || The Joy Formidable || We Are Animal || Dubl Handi
Any band that earns comparisons to Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized usually gets some ear-time at MM, and tho’ we’re often disappointed, this time Delta Mainline may just be the real deal. However, this is not simply the work of slavish copycat merchants nor is it your common or garden druggy psychedelia. For while there are plenty of epic sonic soundscapes in evidence, there are also subtler … Continue reading Introducing >>> Delta Mainline
The meandering piano lines and ethereal sounds of Dark Dark Dark’s latest album Who Needs Who, are a joy to listen to, and now the band has announced three brand new tracks released especially for Record Store Day in the UK. Each track is a band favourite held back for a special occasion, these are songs from the Who Needs Who recording sessions deemed worthy … Continue reading Dark Dark Dark Announce Record Store Day 10″
We have previously featured The Graveyard Kids on MM, and by coincidence (the newly reformed) God Tiny contains all the members of that band. They have put up a brand new track, Fearless, on a pay-what-you-like deal on their Bandcamp page and while it is by their own admission a “rough self-produced” single, it oozes primal garage rock and psych-blues creds in a way that … Continue reading MM Shorts 340: God Tiny
We’re still rounding up all those new releases, new tunes, good tunes, and more to keep your day as varied and joyous as ours…Ha! And so we have another ‘cop-out” post prompted by another fearsome backlog, which has once again kickstarted our anxiety over (a) failing to keep up, and (b) failing to give the appropriate time and text that these releases deserve and (c) … Continue reading More Rounding Up To Be Done
Well, not that new actually as we’ve been sat on it for a while – since February in fact. However, better late than ever, this latest three track demo from the Graceful Slicks is available from the band’s Bandcamp page here as a free download. It is another set of fine spacey, psychedelia and lovers of the Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo and similar will find … Continue reading MM Shorts 339: New Graceful Slicks Demo
Little Sur have given us their video for Patterns In Canvas, which consists of over a year’s worth of footage collected of the band. We also have Wolf People’s video for All Returns, shot in performance mode from their rehearsal space and Valleys’ Tillie Perks’ haunted travels through a city at night for Undream a Year. Lastly, watch Kaki King’s beautifully shot video in black and … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Little Sur || Wolf People || Valleys || Kaki King
Wickerbird (self-described as a “small, small folk project“) started out in the wilds of Washington State. His debut record, The Crow Mother, was wrought in seclusion and his latest, the five track EP, The Westering, serves as a spiritual addendum to its predecessor, a quiet post-script, long lost and forgotten in the frost. With ambient washes and echoes of dream pop, this record is the dying sun, … Continue reading MM Shorts 338: Wickerbird
