MM Shorts 164: Free Album from Bison

The latest free offering via Noisetrade is Bison’s superb album of rootsy, backyard folk, Quill. Released last year, it is expansive with haunting melodies and complex arrangements – think The Avett Brothers, Fleet Foxes, The Civil Wars and the Decemberists for reference points. They call it mountain chamber music apparently. Grab the whole album for free via Noisetrade just by clicking here. Download Bison – Switzerland … Continue reading MM Shorts 164: Free Album from Bison

Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (25th May)

Yes, Spring has finally sprung. The soporific effect of heat and a spin of Sigur Ros from Steve Lamaq, saw me shut my eyes quicker than you can say “99 cornet, please”. It was only 4.45pm too. It took the premier cat to launch himself from a great height, skimming past my outstretched legs on the sofa, to force open one eye. Nevermind, earlier I … Continue reading Mrs Mackerel’s TFI Friday (25th May)

Introducing >>> The Broken Needles

Australian band The Broken Needles debut album, Terra Nullius, is a ghost story about escaping from their grim, desolate hometown in North Queensland. It is a journey through the seedy seaside caravan parks, salt flats, flood plains, cyclone damage and sordid characters that dot the landscape, and it is delivered with a mix of country balladry and spit ‘n’ snarl punk rock that is a little like Tom Waits fronting the Mekons. It is everything … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Broken Needles

More From Hurray For The Riff Raff

Following on from yesterday’s post on Hurray For The Riff Raff’s Daytrotter session, the band have now made a second track available from their excellent new release Look Out Mama. The story behind Ode to John And Yoko written by Alynda Lee Segarra is somewhat autobiographical, being inspired by growing up in a Puerto Rican household in the Bronx that never played the Beatles. Despite … Continue reading More From Hurray For The Riff Raff
