Lung will release their debut album Incidental Music on the 5th April via Melodic We’ve got the second single from the record for you. The bulk of Second Death Of My Face was developed on the piano of Manchester’s Central Library, and it is a five and half minute epic, with cathartic lyrics and soaring crescendos … Continue reading New From W.H. Lung
Droneflower is the new collaboration between MM regular Marissa Nadler and Stephen Brodsky (of Mutoid Man, Cave In). It will be released by Sacred Bones on the 26th April. As might be imagined, it is a sprawling and expansive exercise in contrasts – the sound of the war between the brutal and the ethereal, the depths of darkness and piercing light, and the real and imagined. The … Continue reading Marissa Nadler & Stephen Brodsky Collaborate on Droneflower
Having made our Best Of lists for last year with the brilliant Twelve Divisions Of The Day, Leeds based Drahla have announced the release of Useless Coordinates, a debut ten track album that will see a release via Captured Tracks on the 3rd May.

Nots have announced details of their new album, 3. It is (perhaps unsurprisingly) the Memphis band’s third full-length, but also their first as a trio. Half Painted House, is the lead single and manages to be both hypnotic and seductive at the same time, without sacrificing any of their queasy post-punk goodness, squally guitars or reverb drenched vocals. Listen to the single below. The album is … Continue reading Nots Announce 3
Another cracking track from Fontaines D.C.’s upcoming album Dogrel. This is Roy’s Tune, it showcases a more reflective side to the Dublin foursome, but it is no less powerful for all that. Watch the video here. Continue reading Fontaines D.C. Share Roy’s Tune

A few tasty videos and new songs for you. From the meditative melancholy of The Tallest Man On Earth, the biting psych-pop of She Drew The Gun and Steve Earle’s latest tribute to Guy Clark to the more raucous end of the spectrum and the pummelling post punk of Crows, Taco Mouth’s fiery take down of Trump, some brilliant Stooges style rumblings from Black Futures, experimental electronic … Continue reading Video Round Up

The band’s first offering, Tethered, is a sprawling, Daydream Nation-esque anthem with plenty of rhythm, dissonance and surging, distorted guitars. Frontman Daniel Salas explains … Continue reading Versing Announce New Album & Share Tethered
