Eleven Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

After last week’s bonanza of new tunes, we’re back with eleven more tracks gathered up from the past seven days. No reduction in quality either with another (and the best yet) taste from Laura Marling’s new record Semper Femina, a brand new instrumental track from pastoral psych rockers Allah Las and another ominous slice of brooding Americana from Timber Timbre.

MM Shorts 919: Cat Meat

It has been a while since we’ve heard from Americana four-piece Cat Meat and so it was a welcome surprise to get details of a new track, Caught By The Richochet in our in-box. It is a mid-tempo slice of alt-Country with just the right amount of longing and regret. I recalled you in these four walls When pollen swelled my eyes The morning light on ivory … Continue reading MM Shorts 919: Cat Meat

MM Shorts 917: Retail Space

We are willing to bet that You Can Catch A Lobster With Eggs But Not Egg Salad will be one of the year’s more unusual album titles. It comes from indie folk duo Retail Space and will be self-released this week (order here). Blue Jeans is the second single from it, a charming blend of folk, synth pop, and indie rock that’s as ethereal as it is emotional. Listen … Continue reading MM Shorts 917: Retail Space
