New Album From Hiss Golden Messenger
We have long been admirers of the spooky, fractured, disconnected folk-blues of Hiss Golden Messenger. Good to report then that there will be a new album, Haw, on April 1st. Consisting of eleven songs, all written by M.C. Taylor, who once lived hard by the ‘Haw’ with his wife Abigail and their son Elijah—”Well I come from the bottom of the river Haw“, he sings—but he doesn’t … Continue reading New Album From Hiss Golden Messenger

Mad Mackerel Recommends >>> Another Hundred Miles
Another Hundred Miles hones its telltale blend of gritty Americana rock on their second album A Thousand Weary Nights, which sees its official release today. Building on influences ranging from Tom Waits to Gillian Welch, this album spins classic tales of longing, loneliness, and revival. However, truth be told, so do lots of other folk – what sets this set apart from the rest of the … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends >>> Another Hundred Miles
New Album From Rhubarb Whiskey
We first posted about the alcohol soaked, southern Gothic murder ballads from Rhubarb Whiskey and their album Cautionary Tales back in the summer of 2011. An intriguing bunch: in look and sound, they evoke sleazy San Francisco punk rock clubs and Weimar cabarets, just as much as they evoke the ghost towns and saloons of the Wild West. And on the 23rd of this month they will release … Continue reading New Album From Rhubarb Whiskey
Wooden Wand Releases Blood Oaths Of The New Blues
It is fair to say that Blood Oaths Of The New Blues, the brand new album from Wooden Wand (out on Fire Records) is our first majorly anticipated release of 2013. James Jackson Toth has probably featured more on MM over the past 5 years than any other artist and following the success of last year’s critically acclaimed Briarwood, early reviews from the big boys (Pitchfork, … Continue reading Wooden Wand Releases Blood Oaths Of The New Blues
