Georgiana Starlington To Release Paper Moon

We admit, when we first came across Georgiana Starlington,  we assumed it was going to be a solo performer, so were quite surprised to discover that in actuality it was duo Jack and Julie Hines who (even more surprisingly) are better known for the Black Lips and as the visceral K-Holes. Even more surprisingly because Georgiana Starlington actually play weary, sunburnt, country tinged music that meanders into psychedelia, shoegaze … Continue reading Georgiana Starlington To Release Paper Moon

The good news is that, if anything, Vacations even trumps … Continue reading Dead Confederate Share First Single From In The Marrow

If you follow a route to an intersection where garage rock meets jazz, where rockabilly meets gothic and where country meets punk, you might well see Black Hay sitting roadside ready to scrounge a cigarette and tell you a few stories. Stories that you might subsequently find on their Nightsong EP. Stories that are shadowy – skewed romantica if you will – with echoes of  Nick … Continue reading Introducing >>> Black Hay

Mad Mackerel Recommends…JP Whipple

The press ‘blurb’ we receive at MM can often be, as you might imagine, somewhat repetitive. The Arcade Fire and Fleet Foxes references seem still to be de rigueur as it were – whether it bears any resemblance to the music or not. Not so with JP Whipple… “Things had gone to black. The money ran out. Prospects were grim. I was (and probably still am…) … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…JP Whipple
