There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in. Well a miserable week just got even more miserable. Too many music deaths this year. I’m sure that for many of you, as he did for me, Leonard Cohen soundtracked many late nights of reflective, self-contemplation – often accompanied by too much alcohol and more. The man was a genuine poet of song, sad and … Continue reading RiP: Leonard Cohen
Garage-indie, Chicago four-piece Dogs At Large have just released a new tape called it’s nothing I’d wear. The eight songs are notable for pummeling bass and drums, dagger-like guitar stabs, psychedelic flangers, and proggy song structures that often end far from where they began. Tying it all together is the howling croon of Sam Pirruccello, the rhythm guitarist and songwriter for the band. Listen to opening track Berlin Is … Continue reading MM Shorts 891: Dogs At Large

Somewhat appropriately after yesterday, NGHTCRWLRS have shared their latest single, Fear And Greed. The band describe it thus,, “Fear and Greed is about modern capitalism, an ideology that almost all Americans from a very young age are taught to respect and believe to be intrinsically good. The issue is that no single economic ideology is intrinsically good. Any system without true checks and balances can be corrupted, … Continue reading NGHTCRWLRS Share Fear And Greed

Tobin Sprout, formerly of indie rock icons Guided by Voices, will release his sixth solo album The Universe and Me via Burger Records in February. The record was hatched during a seven-year gestation period that included unearthing lost recordings and digging through a treasure chest of memories in his home studio in Michigan, where he composed behind his shambling grand piano and trembling, boyish voice. First single is … Continue reading Tobin Sprout – Future Boy / Man Of Tomorrow
London quintet Chemtrails return with a new single Burnt Shadows, the second taken from their upcoming debut EP Love In Toxic Wasteland (due on the 9th December, via PNKSLM Recordings).
