Melbourne based, Sub Pop signed five-piece Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have shared a new single, Mainland. Inspired by a 2017 trip to his grandparent’s birthplace of the Aeolian Islands off Sicily, singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Russo said “I was reading about a refugee crisis unfolding not far away in the Mediterranean Sea.

Comprised of The Black Angel’s Alex Maas, The Horror’s Tom Furse, Elephant Stone’s Rishi Dhir and The Earlies’ John-Mark Lapham, MIEN have announced their self-titled debut album will be released on Friday 6th April via Rocket Recordings. It is a record that finds equal room for radiant groove-based propulsion and ambient dreamscapes alike – as comfortable with the murky hallucinogenic voyage of You Dreamt as the powerful widescreen sweep of (I’m Tired Of) Western Shouting. MIEN … Continue reading MIEN – Black Habit
The six minute Cute Thing is the latest track to be shared from Car Seat Headrest’s upcoming release of his reworked Twin Fantasy album.

Originally together from 1981-1983, self-proclaimed micro-legendary weirdoz The Prefab Messiahs followed a unique post-punk musical trajectory through the burgeoning-yet-insular Wormtown (Worcester, MA) underground. Aside from the 1983 cassette Flex Your Mind, though, no recorded material was available from them until 1998’s Devolver CD-R – an anthology of their recordings from the early ’80s. Fast-forward three decades later to the official remastered release of Devolver via Burger Records, followed by … Continue reading The Prefab Messiahs – Psychsploitation Today

Manchester trio The Longcut will release their new album Arrows on the 6th April. Musically sitting somewhere between utopia and dystopia, the band have constructed their own monolithic world as bittersweet as it is bleak. Behemoth of a lead single Deathmask is the perfect case in point – energetic, menacing and mesmerising, it is six minutes of urgent, brutalist experimental synth rock. And you should … Continue reading MM Shorts 995: The Longcut
