Here is a second track from psych-rock supergroup MIEN. With members from The Black Angels, The Horrors, Elephant Stone and The Earlies expectations are naturally high and Earth Moon delivers in spades. A hypnotic, transcendental groove with its roots in the mystic sounds of the east combines with the wide-eyed innocence of the peace and love era of the sixties. Listen here. Their self-titled debut album is out on … Continue reading MIEN – Earth Moon
Car Seat Headrest has unveiled the final single before the release of his new album Twin Fantasy, which is out on the 16th February on Matador. This time it is the album opener My Boy (Twin Fantasy), which kicks off with a sparse, plaintive declaration of “my boy, we don’t see each other much”, and blossoms into a towering sonic climax, with the mantra of … Continue reading Car Seat Headrest – My Boy (Twin Fantasy)
We loved Suck The Blood From My Wound, the last single Ezra Furman shared from his much anticipated new long player Transangelic Exodus, which will be released on the 9th February on Bella Union. Now we have his latest offering from the record, the jagged, agitated, and it must be said, spectacularly named Maraschino-Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill. Give it a spin below.

Los Angeles duo Girlpool has released a new track with contributions from Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes titled Picturesong. It is a lovely offering – mellow and haunting throughout until breaking down into a distorted fuzz of static at the end. Have a listen. Continue reading Girlpool – Picturesong
Here is the second track from The Men’s upcoming long player Drift, and it stands in sharp contrast to the synth-driven dancefloor stomper Maybe I’m Crazy which we shared here. This time, Rose on Top of the World is much more akin to a pastoral, paisley filled, psychedelic jam that is closer to the Silver Jews than Ministry. The great thing is that, in it’s … Continue reading More From The Men
