Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Toothe
The Toothe’s most recent effort is The Talons EP, a six-song foray into a hook-laden and intensely engaging sound they call Apocalyptic Americana. The EP draws from a deep well of American musical tradition while simultaneously reveling in a jubilant pop energy and outlandishly off-kilter lyrical musings. Listen/download the gorgeous harmonies of the outstanding title track and the upbeat, captivating Mustard. In fact go the … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Toothe

Video: Courtly Love – Mirage
Courtly Love are merging bluesy tones with psychedelic hazes; a brand-new quintet from East London and one of those rare musical collectives who appear to have arrived fully formed and armed with clutch of quite wonderful tunes. They produce a gorgeous smouldering psych blues fusion, mixing the dark gutter glamour of the Velvets & Nico with the cinematic doomed grandeur of Serge Gainsbourg.

Introducing >>> Baked
We’re loving Mick Jagger, (never imagined we’d be writing that), a six minute epic of resigned, weary psych-rock from rising Brooklyn five-piece Baked. It is the centrepiece of their forthcoming debut album Debt which mixes foggy, laid back psychedelia with flashes of fuzzed-up punk, indie rock and hazy pop to create a sonic whole of hypnotic rhythms and lush instrumentation. This is a record to lay … Continue reading Introducing >>> Baked
