We’ve featured the sludgy, doom-laden psychedelia of Formes a number of times on MM, and the band will be releasing their debut long-player Dysphoria, in November. Tumult is the first song to be taken from the album, an appropriately named stoned, seven minute epic of crushing psych-rock that ups the ante quite significantly from their earlier releases. Download. Dive in… . Continue reading Formes – Tumult
Silent Type is the title track from Hannah Lou Clarkes’ debut EP, which will be released on the 24th November. The EP has been written and recorded whilst living above a Quaker meeting house, taking inspiration from the bizarre intensity of the silent worship happening below. Fond of writers like Charles Bukowski and Billy Childish, the lyrics – much like their soundtrack – can be confrontational, … Continue reading MM Shorts 620: Hannah Lou Clarke
The Wharves combine gracefully minimal psych-rock with fuzzed out folk invoking the reverberated spook of 60s girl groups topped with crunchy guitar and thunderous drumming. They have shared a second track from their upcoming debut, At Bay due out on the 3rd November. Featuring intricate guitars, soaring harmonies and the addition of a foreboding male vocal choir, The Grip recalls the labyrinthian structures of Fleetwood Mac, … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Wharves

Lonesome Shack’s More Primitive album is about as good a set of boogie-blues and countrified rock as you’re likely to hear this year. Here is a “letting off steam on a golf-course” inspired video for the title track. . . Continue reading New Video: Lonesome Shack – More Primitive

Post-punk three piece, Dirt Dress have been a fixture of the LA scene since their conception in 2007. Taking influence from bands like Wire and the Fall, they compose a cultivated racket of guitars, horns, synths, and drums that mixes surf rock with synths in a curiously beguiling way. Revelations is the the title track from their new EP. Check it out below. . Continue reading MM Shorts 618: Dirt Dress
All the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Fossil Cliffs is the new solo project from Mike D’Eon. His debut, self-titled EP is an inspired collection of tracks from the jittery start-stops of opener Summer Sun, to the pop-rock stoner sludge of In My Eyes, and the jangly washed out guitars of Cold, it is an eclectic opening statement tinged with reverb and honesty. Check out Wake Me … Continue reading Fossil Cliffs – Wake Me Up
The Voyeurs (formerly Charlie Boyer & The Voyeurs) have announced the release of an excellent new single Stunners via Heavenly, which is out on 3rd November. It precedes the band’s new album Rhubarb Rhubarb which is out the following week. Long standing faves of MM, the single ups the ante from their previous work with nods to the tribal stomp of the Glitter Band and … Continue reading New Single & Album From The Voyeurs
Sadly, in some ways, I am old enough to remember the Popguns the first time round. They hailed from Brighton, and their excellent debut single Landslide was released in 1989 on Medium Cool Records and voted into John Peel’s Festive 50, which for us, was the only chart that had any credibility at all. A rush of brilliant singles and albums over the next six … Continue reading Remember The Popguns?
