The Mountain Goats – The Slow Parts On Death Metal Albums

Dark in Here, the forthcoming album from the Mountain Goats is a quieter and smokier batch of songs when compared to the rich and vibrant hues of last October’s Getting Into Knives. Perhaps no song better functions as the album’s sonic and emotional cornerstone than The Slow Parts on Death Metal Albums, which you can stream here. The album is out on June 25th, click … Continue reading The Mountain Goats – The Slow Parts On Death Metal Albums

Wing Defence – Greener Pastures

Sticking with our Down Under theme from yesterday, Greener Pastures is the latest effervescent single of bubbling indie-pop from Adelaide’s Wing Defence. Now a more permanent five-piece, it is a song about being at the end of your tether in a job where you’re overworked, not appreciated and underpaid. With its irresistibly catchy chorus offering sing-along profanities at their very best, there is much to … Continue reading Wing Defence – Greener Pastures

Some Tunes (at last)

I have to confess that WordPress have changed their editor for posting content and I absolutely loathe and hate it. It absolutely takes away any ounce of enjoyment from the process and basically has been the reason for my lack of posts recently. I hear a song – think great, I’ll share it – then think I can’t face doing it right now on the … Continue reading Some Tunes (at last)

New Album From Phobophobes, Share I Mean It All

South Londoners Phobophobes inhabit their own idiosyncratic avant-garde world like some bastard child of The Cramps and Talking Heads. One where post-punk, gothic, art-rock and new-wave collide forming a gloriously unpredictable sound. We were big fans of their debut long player, 2018’s Minature World and now the band have announced the release of their second album Modern Medicine on 25th June via new label Modern … Continue reading New Album From Phobophobes, Share I Mean It All
