Young Jesus’ new LP, Grow / Decompose, was released a couple of weeks ago via Hellhole Supermarket Records. The most recent single from it is Holy Ghost, just over a minute of scrappy, heartfelt, indie-punk that, like most good things, is over all too soon. Give it a spin / download it below. .

Ralegh Long’s debut album Hoverance, is out now on the Gare du Nord label. Pastoral and exquisite, Hoverance is graced with lush string arrangements, pedal steel and rich piano tones, inspired by the 1970s sounds of Bill Fay, Nick Drake and Laura Nyro. You can listen to the new single Islands (featuring the lead guitar of Tom Dougall of TOY) here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 719: Ralegh Long
A while ago we posted the marvellous Ugly When I Cry by Daddy Issues, an all-girl three-piece that combine sarcasm, humour and some bittersweet sass into perfect three minute indie-pop songs. Their music hits a spot somewhere between surf-glam, doo-wop and grunge and new single The Bruise features on their forthcoming Can We Still Hang album, which sees a release as part of the 2nd annual Infinity Cat … Continue reading Daddy Issues – Can We Still Hang
Caviare Days started out in Brooklyn with sisters Lina and Maja Westin, but has since grown into a steady five piece band with Timmy Grim on the drums, Boris Grubesic on the guitar and Marcus Arborelius on the keys and synthesizer bass. It has been nigh on two years since we featured them but their upcoming EP Like Me is out on the 10th June, … Continue reading New EP From Caviare Days
Scottish duo Man Of Moon will release their excellent debut single The Road backed with This World via Melodic Records on the 17th July. With its unerring motoric groove and shimmering rising peaks the lead track is a song about vocalist Chris Bainbridge’s sisters’ attempts to break free from struggles with anxiety. It has one foot in the UK neo-psychedelic revival, but for five grippingly uneasy minutes it … Continue reading Introducing >>> Man Of Moon

We’ve been long standing fans of Yorkshire based indie rockers Grass House. Following a extended period of touring in support of debut record, 2013’s A Sun Full and Drowning, they are back with a new song, Learning To Less Feel, which is the first taste of their forthcoming new long-player. They describe it as more immediate and punchier, more upbeat even, but the track still has their trademark … Continue reading Grass House Return
We first became aware of Meg Baird as co-founder of the mysterious psych-folk band Espers who released three excellent studio albums. She then went on to form the moody and thunderous Heron Oblivion and has also found time to release two solo records of her own and now has a new solo album Don’t Weigh Down The Light due for release on the 22nd June … Continue reading Meg Baird – Don’t Weigh Down The Light
Agerskow is the music of Newcastle-based Kate Edwards. Her recently released track, Postcard From Whitby is a perfectly judged, fragile ode to growing up in Yorkshire in the 90s and holidaying with family at the North Yorkshire coast – a time for long walks with her grandparents’ labradors, donkey rides along the beach at Filey, Mr. Whippy ice cream and sandy sandwiches. With haunting vocals and … Continue reading Introducing >>> Agerskow
It is more than two years since we’ve posted about Dead Stars, and I have to confess we somehow missed their debut album Slumber last summer. Calm Punk is the band’s first new release since then and is a welcome return and reminder of the Brooklyn-based trio’s fuzzy, hook-filled brand of indie-rock. Stream it here. .
