As we’re currently away for a bit, posts will be a bit shorter than usual for the next few days, but we wanted to get this new track up from Morningbell for your listening pleasure. It comes from forthcoming album Boa Noite and it’s coming out on the 21st May. It was described quite appropriately to us as “This is the fourth record I’ve been … Continue reading New Record From Morningbell
A psychedelic rock track with an ethereal melody, Lois & The Love capture a raw swagger that is hard to resist on this track, War, and as they originally came to attention via the wonderful Strummerville, then who are we to argue… Have a listen. Continue reading MM Shorts 350: Lois & The Love
We are a little later than intended in posting this, but Southend’s Wobbly Lamps (who featured on MM last year) have a new EP on release. Drella is three more tracks of psych infused proto garage punk and lead track Never Ever Bloody Anything Ever is a particular, deliciously sleazy, delight. On the reverse is the ominous sonic mayhem of Haxan and the well, ominous sonic mayhem of … Continue reading New Wobbly Lamps EP
We’re loving the rock’n’roll garage rumble of the Sunburn At Midnight EP by Thee Commons. Watch the video for the classic surf-inspired guitar twang of the title track and listen to the perfectly executed rockabilly of EP opener Rabbits And Rattles. Just brilliant. Unfortunately, we’re not too sure where you can buy the EP, but check their Facebook page here for more band info. . … Continue reading Introducing >>> Thee Commons
In February 2013, singer-songwriter Wes Tirey produced and self-released his EP I Stood Among Trees, which is now available via Bandcamp for both a name-your-price digital download and a $5 physical CD. His vivid imagery and stripped-down acoustic tunes are influenced by many of the things that make him unique – his Southern ancestry, American philosophers and authors, and legendary singer-songwriters like Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, … Continue reading Introducing >>> Wes Tirey
Firstly, a great name. We have a strange fondness for bands with Owls in their title, and Owls Of The Swamp don’t disappoint on any level. In truth it is the atmospheric indie-folk project of Australian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Pete Uhlenbruch. Following the release of 2011’s much vaunted Go With River album, he has returned with a gorgeous new single, The Hypnotist which tells the … Continue reading Introducing >>> Owls Of The Swamp
Our videos today come from Grandchildren, Fenster, Cheek Mountain Thief and Wax Fang. Grandchildren kick us off with a surreal trip through a forest of stuffed animals accompanying their otherworldly tune Sunrise. And talking of surreal, next is Fenster’s brilliantly animated video for Spring Break, a trip that ranges from parties on the back of a killer whale, people being zombified by tainted “Dude Ale”, humans being … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Grandchildren || Fenster || Cheek Mountain Thief || Wax Fang
We posted the video for Strange Bones by The Outfit recently, which came from their 2011 release Broken West Wishbone Test. However, new track Caesar is their first for two years and is an excellent combination of slick guitar riffs, echoing garage-rock tones, and boisterous harmonies. Stream it below, or just go and grab it for a pay-what-you-want deal from Bandcamp here. Continue reading MM Shorts 349: The Outfit Offer Up Caesar
Super Lonely will release their debut album Attachments on the 9th April. The album will be released digitally and physically on a very limited number of hand decorated flash drives available from Ernest Jenning Record Co. and at live Super Lonely performances. Super Lonely is the solo project of Joel Bravo, guitarist and lead singer of Vancouver, BC’s The Albertans. The lead track from the album, … Continue reading MM Shorts 348: Super Lonely
The excellently named Lost Souls Club have followed up the success of their recent High Noon EP by making this track, the also excellently named Son, You Look Like You Need Jesus as a name-your-price download from Bandcamp. While comparisons to the White Stripes, the Black Keys and Nick Cave are legitimate enough, don’t be fooled into thinking this is mere imitation. No sir! Taking … Continue reading Free Download From The Lost Souls Club
