Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Laura Gibson has shared details of her new album, Goners, which will be released on 26th October via Barsuk Records. The album explores themes of grief and loss and the first taste is the haunting and beautiful Tenderness, an intimate and somewhat pensive fable that reflects, almost dreamlike, on how we project pain and lash out, holding on to each other’s trauma … Continue reading New Album From Laura Gibson

Thoroughly enjoying these tracks from Canada’s Lonely Parade. Olive Green is the fourth song to be shared from upcoming long player The Pits and is a fabulous mix of wiry post-punk and disaffected Sonic Youth style dissonance. The propulsive, cascading guitar line is underpinned by an off-kilter rhythmic emphasis, performing an unusual call and response with the bass line, before giving way to a driving wordless … Continue reading Lonely Parade – The Pits
Kurt Vile has shared a video for Loading Zones, which collaborations apart, it is the first new music to surface from him since 2015. The video is a paean to his City of Brotherly Love, and a farcical tribute to the song’s lyrics, themselves an account of Vile’s peculiar parking strategy. “I park for free!” he proclaims, as he goes about his day moving his … Continue reading New From Kurt Vile
Dolls have shared the lead track from their forthcoming EP Pop The Bubble. Set for release in September the EP is four garage-pop anthems with as much sass as they have bite. For now, check out Sugar Free, a riotous example of their infectious grunge-punk inspired by “the use-and-throwaway society around us today, how superficial people’s lives can be, and how rapidly people’s values and what’s on-trend can change”. … Continue reading Dolls – Pop The Bubble EP

Untitled (LA) is the second taste from Swearin’s upcoming full length Fall into the Sun, their first for five years. It is another cracking track. Opening on the back of a great riff, the song sets off in a hurry and doesn’t look back – melodic, garage punk at its best. Listen below – pre-order from Bandcamp here.
