Sunday morning coming down? Try these videos whatever the mood you’re in. We have the noirish pop of Shady Elders, classic back-porch Americana from Willie Sugarcapps, faerie inspired dream pop from Bad Wolf, and experimental parlour-folk from The Bear.

Introducing >>> Vienna Ditto

We’ve been desperately trying to clear our backlog of e-mails before the start of the festive period proper and all those end of year Best Of posts start.

Their recent 3-track EP, Ugly, blends their country blues and gospel influences with primitive ‘voodoo electronics’ and clattering junk percussion … Continue reading Introducing >>> Vienna Ditto

Graph Rabbit Cover Pink Floyd

There have been more than a few covers of Pink Floyd’s classic track Comfortably Numb, and now Graph Rabbit have added their version to the list. The track is undoubtedly 100% Graph Rabbit too, with sedate acoustic guitar strumming and endlessly evolving arpeggios – the feeling is one of bliss rather than anguish – a different kind of numbness, heavy with psychedelic overtones and, perhaps, even … Continue reading Graph Rabbit Cover Pink Floyd

New Eureka Birds Album

Released a few days ago, Strangers is the new album by Baltimore band Eureka Birds. It hovers somewhere between cerebral indie pop and damaged art-rock, with echoes of orchestral space rock, Ariel Pink’s oddness and Yo La Tengo’s literacy. However, rather than being one big mess, the record is a surprisingly tight and coherent one, and one that reveals more of its many charms with each … Continue reading New Eureka Birds Album

RIP Lou Reed

There are plenty who will find far better words than I to mourn the passing of Lou Reed. Suffice to say he soundtracked much of my teenage years and fuelled many bedroom dreams of partying with NY’s avant-garde finest and haughty, heroin fuelled ice maidens. Only a few weeks ago I splashed some download credits on exploring his later back catalogue of solo albums like … Continue reading RIP Lou Reed
