MM Shorts 624: Magic Castles
Magic Castles’ new album Sky Sounds, was released yesterday through A Recordings Ltd, Anton Newcombe’s UK-based imprint. The Minneapolis 5-piece combine the hazy, hypnotic atmospherics of bands like Spacemen 3 and Galaxie 500 with the organ-drenched psych sound of the mid/late ’60s outfits – particularly American West Coast folk-rock -for an altogether otherworldly sound. Have a listen to the laid back, reverb laden, title track. … Continue reading MM Shorts 624: Magic Castles

MM Shorts 623: Saint Agnes
A short while ago we posted the new single from cinematic psych outfit Saint Agnes, titled A Beautiful Day For Murder.

New Video: PINS – Come Back
We love the abrasive dark pop, post punk, fuzzed up garage sound of PINS. Watch the slightly surreal clip for Come Back that features the band on and off-stage at a taping for a bizarro, Top Of The Pops-esque music program. . . Continue reading New Video: PINS – Come Back
MM Recommends…Christian Bland & The Revelators
Christian Bland & The Revelators are led by the guitarist for longstanding MM faves, US psych-warriors The Black Angels. New album The Unseen Green Obscene is a masterpiece of rolling, hypnotic, guitars that throughout manage to create a lovingly authentic homage to the classic kaleidoscopic psychedelia of the 60s. Check out CB160 below, and order the record here. . Continue reading MM Recommends…Christian Bland & The Revelators
More From The Hanged Man
The dark, intense, cinematic pop of Sweden’s The Hanged Man (aka Rebecka Rolfart) has been one of our favourite recent discoveries, and we have another track for you, taken from her upcoming mini-album release First Quarter Night.

Parkay Quarts – Content Nausea
Frankly we’re still trying to understand the whole Parquet Courts / Parkay Quarts thing, where the overlaps are and what the significance of the two names are… However, that aside, Content Nausea will be a new release from the latter: recorded, mixed and mastered in two weeks on a 4-track tape machine. Apparently the band wanted something that listeners could “live with over the winter.” … Continue reading Parkay Quarts – Content Nausea
