Videos Of The Day: Decker || Saint Motel || Electric Shepherd || Said The Whale || Future History

Videos to enjoy today from decker with an appropriately gritty film for the parched, desert folk psychedelia of Shadow Days and from Saint Motel who have an excellent animation to accompany their track Daydream/Wetdream/Nightmare. Electric Shepherd’s psych-blues are showcased to good effect in The Escapist, which tells the story of a woman that cannot be loved, food that cannot be eaten, and a sports car that cannot be kept. Under … Continue reading Videos Of The Day: Decker || Saint Motel || Electric Shepherd || Said The Whale || Future History

Introducing >>> Clear

Apparently Clear are very closely connected to Richard Hawley, and the band’s members variously record, gig or produce with him. And, so the story goes, Hawley’s producer dragged Clear into the studio when he heard just how good their songs were. And judging by the reaction of the good and the great to single Sunlight, he was right to do so. It is simply a beautifully … Continue reading Introducing >>> Clear

Dean Wareham Mini LP

Dean Wareham’s Black Postcards is a brutally unflinching, unforgiving, and often unsympathetic self portrait of himself, and of life in cult indie bands Galaxie 500 and then Luna, and needless to say it is one of our favourite music biographies. So when we discovered Love Is Colder Than Death is the first track to be taken from his first ever solo release – a six-track mini-LP … Continue reading Dean Wareham Mini LP

New From Blessed Feathers

Blessed Feathers delivered one of our favourite sets of SXSW this year, an understated collection of beautiful, rural folk that was breathtaking in its simplicity and authenticity. This is the first track from their forthcoming album and the somewhat oddly titled Ahbinreedis is another example of just how good this duo is – the song is simply lovely. Download it below, and join us in looking … Continue reading New From Blessed Feathers

Videos of the Day: Dr. Dog || Lorelle Meets The Obsolete || Basia Bulat || Diarrhea Planet || TV Ghost

Five top notch videos today come from Dr. Dog and their reappropriated footage to accompany the excellent Broken Heart, and similarly from Lorelle Meets The Obsolete we have a suitably antiquated experimental video for the superb psych-rock of What’s Holding You?. From Basia Bulat, a stunning live performance of It Can’t Be You, and by contrast from Diarrhea Planet, a spring breakers inspired film for … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Dr. Dog || Lorelle Meets The Obsolete || Basia Bulat || Diarrhea Planet || TV Ghost

Son of Dave Is Back

Back in 2008 we were big fans of one-man-band Son of Dave’s album 03, and his whole 1940s private detective look with sharp suit and trilby. Since then we’ve also enjoyed 2010s Shake A Bone, but all has been quiet since then. But now Son of Dave is back with his brand new single Hot Summer Nights. Three minutes of typically electrifying and idiosyncratic disco … Continue reading Son of Dave Is Back
