Last year’s single I Collapse by Eula found much favour here at MM, grabbing a place in our favourite tracks of the year, and on first listen, latest 7″ release Orderly is destined to do the same. It is a brilliantly discordant cacophony of angular, clashing rhythms, viscerally wailed vocals and industrial, skull numbing percussion. Have a listen. Out on Bloodmoss Records on the 15th July … Continue reading New Single From Eula
We were hugely pleased, and not a little surprised, to recently receive a vinyl copy through the mail of Danish troubadour Emil Friis’ forthcoming album, Sand In Your Eyes. The title track has been round a while and featured in the top-spot of Chris T Popper’s Top Ten of 2012, but the rest of the ten-track album is new to us. However, the first few spins … Continue reading Emil Friis: Sand In Your Eyes Album

The title track showcases the band’s trademark Ennio Morricone rock n’ roll style, trippy Western inspired psychedelic-rock in its purest form – warped and twisted. The B-side sees the pair – Jon Tufnell of The Lost Souls Club and Lola Colt’s Kitty Austen – duet … Continue reading Saint Agnes – Old Bone Rattle

Their highly-praised debut album, and one of our favourites of that year, Slow Down came out in 2011 on their own label Tail Feather Records.

The Toothe’s most recent effort is The Talons EP, a six-song foray into a hook-laden and intensely engaging sound they call Apocalyptic Americana. The EP draws from a deep well of American musical tradition while simultaneously reveling in a jubilant pop energy and outlandishly off-kilter lyrical musings. Listen/download the gorgeous harmonies of the outstanding title track and the upbeat, captivating Mustard. In fact go the … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… The Toothe
