Haley Heynderickx’s debut album I Need To Start A Garden mixes folk, doo wop, atmospheric guitars with beautiful instrumentation sitting next to stark rawer moments. We already shared the stunning Untitled God Song, and now we have the equally good Worth It, which over the course of nearly eight minutes undulates from soft-hums into moments of crashing catharsis all led by her incredible, arresting voice and … Continue reading More From Haley Heynderickx
No not a fey singer-songwriter, Oliver Hazard are actually an indie folk trio from Waterville, Ohio. Theirs are songs of small towns and the vibrant souls that stir them and Hey Louise is a lovely example of their warm, strummed Americana with rich harmonies that has more than a hint of the Lumineers about it. Give it a whirl. Continue reading MM Shorts 998: Oliver Hazard

We missed this just before Christmas – a new single from MM stalwarts, Portland’s Loch Lomond. Legs & Antlers takes their chamber folk and twists it through a disco-pop lens, and the result is undeniably lovely. They’ve shared a new video for the single which you can watch here. Continue reading New Video: Loch Lomond – Legs & Antlers
The third in the Marfa Myths series of releases will be seven all-new songs written and recorded by Stockholm’s psychedelic masters Dungen in collaboration with adventurous Brooklyn indie-folk pioneers Woods. On the face of it, it should be a match made in musical heaven and judging by the languid, exploratory, and dynamic, first track Turn Around, we’re in for a treat with the full album. Listen … Continue reading New Dungen & Woods Collaboration

Amen Dunes (aka the project of New York-based Damon McMahon) will release his fifth album, Freedom, on 30 March via Sacred Bones. On the surface, Freedom is a reflection on growing up, childhood friends who ended up in prison or worse, male identity, McMahon’s father, and his mother, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the beginning of recording. The characters that populate the musical … Continue reading Amen Dunes – Miki Dora
Another of our round-ups of songs we should have posted from the end of 2017. Restless was a stomping single from Brooklyn-based folk rocker Common Jack. It’s anthemic take on Americana draws favourable comparisons to Lumineers, Neil Young and The Avett Brothers. Swedish indie rockers Francobello shared Future Lover, which rises and falls, building to a crescendo of gorgeous harmonies and ferocious guitar runs. LA-based Space-Psych … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 4)
