For more than two decades, Damien Jurado has sung folk songs brimming with prophetic imagination. Whether singing ballads about killers, wounded lovers, UFO cults, or the phantoms of departed friends, he’s populated his work with eerie foretelling, the sense that he’s divining something just on the verge of happening. He wrote his last record, 2018’s The Horizon Just Laughed as a goodbye letter to his … Continue reading Damien Jurado Announces New Album, Shares South

Taking boredom, frustration, and mid-20s malaise as their starting points, New York three-piece Patio have shared the excellent first single, Boy Scout, from their debut album Essentials, due out on the 5th April on Fire Talk Records. A track of minimal, affecting post-punk, the song is a ninety second, perfectly targeted gut shot – straight to the point and a perfect introduction to their sparse melodic … Continue reading Patio – Boy Scout

Over the past couple of years, the nihilistic, bleakly brilliant post-punk of FEWS has firmly established the Swedish quartet as big time faves at MM, and that reputation is only going to be further enhanced by the latest track from upcoming Into Red. More Than Ever takes their propulsive menace and aligns it once more to themes of estrangement and alienation. It is a song … Continue reading FEWS – More Than Ever
Nottingham band Sancho Panza have shared new single Rearrange The Diamonds. It is a thoroughly enjoyable woozy meander through slacker rock and pastoral psychedelia. There are elements of Kurt Vile’s laid-back insouciance in the zoned-out vocals and while the song drifts good-naturedly along, it never loses its sense of purpose or identity. Probably goes really well with a lava lamp, some headphones and a footlong … Continue reading Introducing >>> Sancho Panza
