New Album From Kill The Captains

It goes without saying that anyone who releases an album containing songs about ‘sado-masochistic rumpy-pumpy’ is alright with us. Add in topics such as corporate greed, conveyor-belt consumerism, and superpower struggles and it immediately becomes an album we want to hear. So it is with Sheffield four-piece Kill The Captains and new record Sounds Mean. It is not meant to be subtle – guitars fizz and … Continue reading New Album From Kill The Captains

Deer Tick Return

One of our favourite bands, Deer Tick will return with a new album Negativity in September this year. Preceding it by a month will be this single and first taste from the album, the brilliant The Rock. It is another in their ever-growing collection of guitar-heavy, heart-on-sleeve Americana gems, but this time includes blasts of brass and piercing strings that spit dirt all over the song’s underbelly. … Continue reading Deer Tick Return

Introducing >>> Whale Belly

Brooklyn based folk quintet Whale Belly will release their second album I Was Once A Bird this autumn. The first focus track Bubbles In My Blood proudly bears the imprint of traditional folk music but steadfastly refuses to conform to expectations – the song boasts a big band sound, but it’s soft and gentle, and the violin adds a classical element that contrasts sweetly with … Continue reading Introducing >>> Whale Belly

Pop. 1280 – New Album

The rather brilliantly named Imps Of Perversion is the title of Pop. 1280’s follow up long player to The Horror. The first taste is the depraved, bad-trip sonics of Lights Out – all jagged, needling punk guitars and brutal RATM style vocals. Needless to say we’re enormously fond of it already. Consider it the musical equivalent of keeping one mighty pissed monster in the basement – … Continue reading Pop. 1280 – New Album

The Return Of Lanterns On The Lake

Another Tale From Another English Town heralds the return of the dreamy, haunting folk of Lanterns On The Lake and is taken from their forthcoming new album Until The Colours Run, that will see a release via Bella Union. It is typically beautiful, cinematic and orchestral, with strings and vocals that rise and fall as though they were swelling waves, but the lyrics are sharper … Continue reading The Return Of Lanterns On The Lake

Volcano Choir – New Single Byegone

Byegone is the first single from Repave, the second album by Wisconsin band Volcano Choir, out on Jagjaguwar on September Previously known as much for being a collaboration between a certain Justin Vernon and the experimental rock leanings of Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, it has been four years since the release of their debut Unmap. However, to these ears, Byegone perhaps trumps anything on that record. It … Continue reading Volcano Choir – New Single Byegone
