Our favourite 200 songs of the past ten years… numbers 90 – 81. 90 Great American Canyon Band – Undertow (2016)   An epic of yearning Americana and cinematic, shoegazing guitars that combine to stunning effect.   89 Henry’s Funeral Shoe – Stranger Dig (2009)   Raucous mix of heavy rock and psychedelic blues. Heavy drumming – check, big riff – check – rough vocals … Continue reading The Top 200 – Mad Mackerel’s favourite songs of the last ten years (Part 7)

Welcome to numbers 120 through to 101 of our favourite tunes of the past ten years… 120 Black Mountain – Let Spirits Ride (2010) Who cares if the riff is nicked from another song, or if it sounds like 1972.

The third part of our epic countdown of our favourite songs of the past ten years. 160 The Pink Mountaintops – North Hollywood Microwaves (2014)   Filthy, snarling, primal rock’n’roll featuring some pornographic rapping from Annie Hardy (ex-Giant Drag).

The Top 200 – Mad Mackerel’s favourite songs of the last ten years (Part 1)

Mad Mackerel has been around for ten years now. We’ve come a long way. Early days using Google’s blogspot where our posts were regularly and erroneously taken down through DMCA notices until the moment when Google just erased us completely, our move to WordPress in April 2010 where Kurt Vile, Beach Fossils, Johnny Flynn and Band of Horses were among our first posts. Those were … Continue reading The Top 200 – Mad Mackerel’s favourite songs of the last ten years (Part 1)

Introducing >>> LUMP

LUMP is a collaboration between Laura Marling and Mike Lindsay, the founding member of Tunng and Throws. Their self-titled album will be released on 1st June via Dead Oceans. The record is a heady blend of wonked-out guitars, Moog synths and pattering drums, set against droning, coiling clouds of flutes and voices. The duo have shared the first track from the record. A somewhat cynical examination of the … Continue reading Introducing >>> LUMP

DRINKS – Corner Shops

Hippo Lite, the new album from DRINKS (Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley of White Fence) is out on the 20th April, the follow up to 2015’s Hermits On Holiday. The latest song to be shared from it is Corner Shops, a typically oddball, off kilter track of skewed pop that somehow manages to be restrained and chaotic at the same time.
