The garage-psych roar of Portugal’s Sunflowers has been a favourite discovery of ours since we happened across long player Castle Spell a couple of years ago. We’ve been waiting for new album Endless Voyage ever since we shared Dreamweaver from it at the backend of last year, which also made it into our 2019 Best of lists. The record is out now and can be purchased from … Continue reading Sunflowers Release Endless Voyage
The Silverbacks are (another) one of our favourite Dublin discoveries, and they have shared Drool, the accompanying A side to the excellent Sirens that we shared at the end of 2019. The new track showcases the darker side to the band, with a knack for catchy and infectious pieces. The propulsive rhythm section prompts a visceral response from the three guitarists who weave fuzz-laden riffs, tonally warped … Continue reading Silverbacks – Drool
Detroit-based girl group Shadow Show take elements of 60s garage-psych, 21st-century modern pop-art and some good old fashioned indie attitude and combine it into one heady brew all of their own. Their full-length debut album Silhouettes will be available on 14th February via Stolen Body Records in the UK and Europe and Burger Records in the US and rest of the world. Stream Charades from it … Continue reading Introducing >>> Shadow Show
The Men are stalwarts of MM posts. Back with a new album (their eighth) titled Mercy, which is out on the 14th February via Sacred Bones, they have shared a first taste with Breeze. For those of you expecting a total fuzzed out stomper… you got it! Listen below. Continue reading The Men – Breeze
The jaunty, scrappy pop-punk duo Diet Cig are back with their first new music since 2017’s fuzzily delightful Swear I’m Good At This. Night Terrors centres around singer and guitarist Alex Luciano’s very real and frequent experiences with said terrors and other bizarre sleep activity. She says, “If we’re close enough to have ever shared a room, you know what I’m talking about. This song goes out … Continue reading Diet Cig Return & Announce UK Dates
We’re loving this gem of a track from Okay Kaya. Psych Ward is an irresistible slice of slacker-indie that is notable for it’s resigned, literal lyrics, and was inspired by Kaya Wilkins’ own experience in a mental health institution. Listen below. It comes from new album Watch This Liquid Pour Itself, which was released last week on Jagjaguwar. Purchase here. Continue reading Okay Kaya – Psych Ward

The 19-track LP will be released via Bella Union and is available to stream or download from today, with a physical release on CD and vinyl to follow on 10th April (order here). The … Continue reading Ezra Furman – Sex Education OST
On the 27th March Nap Eyes will release their new album, Snapshot of a Beginner. Still shot through with their trademark jittery energy, the first single is the immediately infectious Mark Zuckerberg, a hi-fi jangle-pop earworm that we’ve had on repeated plays here at MM Towers. Stream it below. Preorder the album here. Catch them in the UK Wed. April 15 – London @ … Continue reading Nap Eyes Announce New Album, Share Single Mark Zuckerberg
Porridge Radio are pretty new to us, but we’re loving the sounds of latest single Sweet. Sweet is a schizophrenic sounding track – on the one hand the verses are initially, like the song’s title, sweet, almost delicate, but as the song progresses, increasingly angry and cachophonous guitars squall and battle over vocals that are only a couple of decibels shy of unhinged. The whole … Continue reading Porridge Radio – Sweet
Just picked this up off our Soundcloud feed (which is pretty crappy nowadays so God knows what they’ve done to it). Anyway, stalwart Atlanta based underground garage rockers Black Lips will release new album Sing… in a World that’s Falling Apart via Fire Records at the end of this week. We’re told the twelve-song collection marks the quintet’s most pronounced dalliance with country music yet, … Continue reading Black Lips – Rumbler
