Enjoy short films of the musical variety today from Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards showcasing the rich, gorgeous, melancholia of first single Sheets taken from forthcoming album Blindspot. Then there is some leather clad pop cool from Finland’s French Films and some rather fine alt-folk from Scotland’s Woodenbox . And to finish, some lowdown sleazy garage-blues and drag-act inspired footage from Australia’s Delta Riggs for their track … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Dan Michaelson & The Coastguards || French Films || Woodenbox || The Delta Riggs

New From Conner Youngblood

Back last summer we wholeheartedly commended Conner Youngblood’s imaginative blend of folk and electronica to you. Now he has given us a new song Vegas, which kicks off with some ominous ringing guitar over which his vocals echo and swirl before slow but hypnotic percussion cuts in and the song gradually increases in intensity before finally fading away like a firework over a night sky. Download … Continue reading New From Conner Youngblood

MM Shorts 328: Great Mountain Fire

Great Mountain Fire’s debut album is called Canopy – apparently it manages to combine elements of Pink Floyd, The Klaxons, AC/DC and The Mystery Jets. And all to remarkably good effect if this taster track, Crooked Head is anything to go by. A frantically paced explosion of energy, topped with folk rhythm guitars and accompanied by a Pixies-like bass line. Have a listen. Continue reading MM Shorts 328: Great Mountain Fire
