Last year Goat released the single It’s Time for Fun, which saw the band experimenting with drum machines, and brought a different pulse to their tribal psych. This desire to explore new sounds continues with their new single I Sing in Silence. But instead of ‘plugging in’ new instruments the band have ‘unplugged’ and created an addictive groove with mostly un-amped, acoustic instruments. Elastic guitar … Continue reading New Single From Goat
Time to start the week with a few choice musical films… ten to be exact. So come with us a follow a path from the brilliantly louche, disaffected punk of Dilly Dally to the off-kilter urgency of Velcro Hooks by way of the mediative melancholy of Daniel Martin Moore, the energetic alt-country blues of Alex Culbreth, and the tripped out psychedelics of the Lucid Dream and plenty … Continue reading Video Round Up

Psychedelic doom-punks Cannibal Animal recently released their latest single, I Feel Alive, via Warren Records. The track itself deals with some pretty intense topics. The beauty when it comes to Cannibal Animal, is that they’re not afraid to break down walls with their twitchy, highly-addictive aggro-punk, and encourage the listener to go all Frozen and just…err, let it go. Stream it below. Continue reading MM Shorts 834: Cannibal Animal
Versus is Athens GA duo Eureka California’s third album in three years – a white-knuckle ride through a tattered psyche and a brain that just won’t shut up. Too smart for self-pity and too drunk to think clearly, it is endlessly self-referential and endlessly self-destructive, stuck on a non-stop treadmill of tension and release, of megalomania and doubt. Versus is agoraphobic fight songs, songs about loving television more than … Continue reading More From Eureka California
The music of L.A. WITCH is raw and bloody, echoing of bad decisions through a thick, smoky haze of reverb. Veering between moody post-punk and blues-punk ballads, new single Drive Your Car is an exploration far beyond 2014’s fuzzed-out, lo-fi Get Lost. Explosive drumming and heavy basslines set the mood for reverb-drenched spaced-out guitar, and vocals reminiscent of a darker, more rebellious Mazzy Star. Often compared to … Continue reading MM Recommends… L.A. WITCH
