The upcoming Fire Records reissue of the frazzled, bejewelled, uniquely madcap tall tales of Howard Enyon’s 1970s acid-folk masterpiece So What If Im Standing In Apricot Jam is certain to be one of our favourites of the year. Until then, here is another track to treasure, the six minute album closer Shadows & Riff. Out on the 17th November, you can pre-order the album here.

The new single from Gothenburg based The Don Darlings is a masterpiece of southern gothic Americana. If You Can’t Be Good is an odyssey about the life of an infamously pathological liar who some believe was named Johnny Bode. The title is a veiled, yet precise, warning about how life can turn out through a destructive device of doing everything you can in the most … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Don Darlings
A couple of years back we waxed lyrical about the drifter rock of San Francisco’s Steakhouse, which somehow managed to merge dusty country inflected Americana with krautrock influences to create something that was as hypnotic as it was eerie. We’re pleased to report that they have a first “proper” full length album coming out soon, and here are a couple of tracks from it for your … Continue reading New Album From Steakhouse

In 2009, the band came to an unexpected … Continue reading Return Of The Manhattan Love Suicides
Check out the fried sonics of Trans Upper Egypt’s new track Moon Doom. Drums in constant motion, bass that moves from bouncy to sinister, both competing with the syncopated dissonance of two synthesizers-spaceage sounds melting into a chainsaw fight, and all punctuated by scorched vocals. It comes from their second album, self-titled, out on the 4th November via Austin based label, Monofonus Press. Continue reading Trans Upper Egypt – Moon Doom
Here is another taste from the marvellous Elliott Brood’s new album Work And Love. Nothing Left is another example of their rollicking, infectious Americana cut through with bluegrass, folk-rock and, with this track, a definite glam-rock flavour. Have a listen! .
