Mining feelings of loss, defeat, heartache and self-destructiveness, singer/songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle has announced her sophomore solo album, Marked For Death, which will be released on 30th September via Sargent House. The title track is a past-tense, apocalyptic treatise on doomed love and blooms into a cascading murmuration of guitar and strings. Stream it here. Continue reading Emma Ruth Rundle – Marked For Death
The Wytches have shared a new single, C-Side, taken from their forthcoming second album, All Your Happy Life (out on the 30th September). The album is touted to be a black-hearted set combination of heavy comedown psychedelia and bilious, nihilistic baroque ‘n’ roll. On the evidence of this that might well be true. Stream the single below. The band have also announced a headline UK tour in November which includes … Continue reading The Wytches – C-Side

Drive-By Truckers have shared a new track, the powerful and poignant What It Means, from their much-anticipated new album, American Band, due out on 30th September via ATO Records.

We’ve previously posted a couple of tracks from San Francisco based four-piece Cool Ghouls’ new album Animal Races – the follow up to band’s excellent 2014 album A Swirling Fire Burning Through the Rye. They have updated the raw, primitive sound of their debut into a refreshingly contemporary take on classic psych-rock and the laid-back Spectator is another excellent example. The album is out on the 19th August. … Continue reading Cool Ghouls – Spectator
The eleventh installment from the Adult Swim Singles Program is from MM faves Detroit post punk outfit, Protomartyr. The track titled Born To Be Wine is another one of their disquieting, uncomfortable indie rock gems, featuring timeless riffs and typically sardonic lyrics from frontman Joe Casey. Check out the new track below, and share and download it for free via AdultSwim.com Continue reading Protomartyr – Born To Be Wine
Here is a second track from Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster (of the Water Liars) upcoming solo release Constant Stranger which is out on the last day of September via Big Legal Mess. Laid Low is another exquisitely presented slice of folky Americana from an album of eleven songs that feel more like snapshots documented, processed, and archived, filled with stories and images of how the small and often overlooked … Continue reading More From Justin Peter Kinkel-Schuster
Usually drawing on a heady brew of Pink Flag Wire, The Fall, Wipers and Deerhunter, Murmur of the Heart is the third track from Cold Pumas’ new record The Hanging Valley and is possibly their “poppiest” moment yet. It follows two other cracking singles, the brilliant, epic sludged-out motorik of Fugue States and the post-punk smear of Severed Estates. Stream all three below. We’re looking forward to … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Cold Pumas
