People That You Meet is the latest song to be shared from Slaves’ upcoming album Take Control (out on the 30th September). The raucously, infectious new track was written with Joel Amey from Wolf Alice whilst on the road in the US, and he also features on drums. Watch the chaotic, hairdressing themed video for it below. Continue reading New Track From Slaves
Hot on the heels of The Lovely Eggs new single we also have a new track from kaleidoscopic Swedish psych-explorers Goat. Union of Mind and Soul sees the band continue the catchy but stripped down, unplugged approach that was heard on I Sing in Silence. At the new single’s core is a driving acoustic guitar and a ridiculously catchy recorder riff that will have you … Continue reading New From GOAT
Delighted to have a new single to share from the down-to-earth, but utterly psychotic duo The Lovely Eggs. Sick of hearing people crowing about how many drugs they’ve done on a night out or at a festival, their retort is a big fuck-you to the pricks with a typically surreal insight into their crazy world. Appropriately titled Drug Braggin’, it is a brilliant fuzzed up … Continue reading New Lovely Eggs Single
Home Burial is the debut album from Northern Ireland’s Arborist, aka songwriter Mark McCambridge, a long standing favourite of MM since the release of his marvellous debut single Twisted Arrow in 2015. The album will see a release on the 11th November. Ranging from bleak Americana to melodic indie rock, the songs on the album deal with death, ageing and family. Blending layered harmonies, atmospheric guitars, … Continue reading Debut Album From Arborist

Revolution is the brilliant second single from Van William of WATERS and (previous MM faves) Port O’Brien fame.

Breakfast Is A Scam is the last single to be shared from The Survivalist’s new album Plagiarism is the Sincerest Form of Stealing.
