A short while ago we posted the new single from cinematic psych outfit Saint Agnes, titled A Beautiful Day For Murder. Now we have the b-side Where The Lightning Strikes – a blues stomping, dirty rock n roll number with psychedelic organs, screaming guitars and haunting harmonica. And we have the video for you, with a stream of both the a and the b-side for you. . . . Continue reading MM Shorts 623: Saint Agnes

We love the abrasive dark pop, post punk, fuzzed up garage sound of PINS. Watch the slightly surreal clip for Come Back that features the band on and off-stage at a taping for a bizarro, Top Of The Pops-esque music program. . . Continue reading New Video: PINS – Come Back
Christian Bland & The Revelators are led by the guitarist for longstanding MM faves, US psych-warriors The Black Angels. New album The Unseen Green Obscene is a masterpiece of rolling, hypnotic, guitars that throughout manage to create a lovingly authentic homage to the classic kaleidoscopic psychedelia of the 60s. Check out CB160 below, and order the record here. . Continue reading MM Recommends…Christian Bland & The Revelators
The dark, intense, cinematic pop of Sweden’s The Hanged Man (aka Rebecka Rolfart) has been one of our favourite recent discoveries, and we have another track for you, taken from her upcoming mini-album release First Quarter Night. This is the rather delicious Into The Night. . Continue reading More From The Hanged Man
Frankly we’re still trying to understand the whole Parquet Courts / Parkay Quarts thing, where the overlaps are and what the significance of the two names are… However, that aside, Content Nausea will be a new release from the latter: recorded, mixed and mastered in two weeks on a 4-track tape machine. Apparently the band wanted something that listeners could “live with over the winter.” … Continue reading Parkay Quarts – Content Nausea

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. Check … Continue reading Another From Howard Enyon’s So What If Im Standing In Apricot Jam
The excellently named Daddy Issues are an all girl trio producing a twisted, distorted take on garage-pop that drips with acerbic irony and a healthy dose of cynicism. Ugly When I Cry is a wonderful slab of downbeat grungy pop that we’ve had on repeat ever since we heard it! Stream it below, or grab it for a buy-now deal at Bandcamp. .

The Manhattan Love Suicides burnt bright between 2006 and 2009. Taking their ferocious sonic assault all over the UK and further afield to New York and SXSW twice. They released one full rough and raw sounding studio LP, a clutch of 7″ singles and EPs, plus a bumper 27 track compilation CD in their four(ish) years together. In 2009, the band came to an unexpected … Continue reading Return Of The Manhattan Love Suicides
