Videos of the Day: Jagwar Ma || Menace Beach || Karl Smith || The Perch Creek Family Jugband
We have a cracking video with spinning alien heads and genies from Menace Beach for their excellent Fortune Teller track, and with an astral backdrop of the Mojave desert from Jagwar Ma. We have Karl Smith’s woozy Americana given an excellent animation for Slow Short Story, and the Perch Creek Family Jugband get out their tractors and cross dressing gear for Party On The Farm. . … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Jagwar Ma || Menace Beach || Karl Smith || The Perch Creek Family Jugband
Introducing >>> Champ
San Diego four-piece Champ play punchy garage rock that owes more to punk and grunge than it does psych or power pop – Wavves or FIDLAR are good touchpoints. However, there is a distinct desire to experiment a little more than is common, pushing boundaries a little further than usual, and machete their way determinedly into the shadowier side of sunny California. The results are … Continue reading Introducing >>> Champ
MM Shorts 512: Sassin Fras

Hooks Debut Single – Get It Out
Hooks are a London-based four piece that have gleefully made a home for themselves on the hallowed turf of classic art-punk bands such as Gang of Four, but have smartly brought their sound up to date with heavy doses of fuzz, energy and bone shaking percussion. Their debut single is Get It Out backed with Jamboree (incidentally one of Mrs M’s favourite words). It sees a … Continue reading Hooks Debut Single – Get It Out
Jesca Hoop – Undress
Jesca Hoop’s latest stark and eloquent effort Undress is an intimate rendering of her sophomore album Hunting My Dress. Not only that but it offers up salt-of-the-earth duets with artists such as Guy Garvey, MM faves Iron and Wine and Willy Mason and Erika Wennerstrom. Check out Whispering Light with Willy Mason taking the lead and Jesca playing the supporting role . Continue reading Jesca Hoop – Undress
Krill – Turd
Steve Hears Pile In Malden and Bursts Into Tears is a failed concept album about two kids living on the outskirts of Boston who realize they are characters in a Pile song. Well actually it is an EP by Krill. This song is a triumph of introspective slacker rock, titled Turd. The sentiment of feeling like shit is taken quite literally, perpetually floating and never to be flushed. … Continue reading Krill – Turd
Water Liars – Ray Charles Dream
Safe to say, the new self-titled Water Liars album is among our most anticipated in the first half of 2014. With the release of the the second taster from it, Ray Charles Dream, it is also safe to say that our anticipation has just ratcheted up another couple of notches. Water Liars is out on the 4th February via Fat Possum. . Continue reading Water Liars – Ray Charles Dream
