We missed this just before Christmas – a new single from MM stalwarts, Portland’s Loch Lomond. Legs & Antlers takes their chamber folk and twists it through a disco-pop lens, and the result is undeniably lovely. They’ve shared a new video for the single which you can watch here. Continue reading New Video: Loch Lomond – Legs & Antlers
The third in the Marfa Myths series of releases will be seven all-new songs written and recorded by Stockholm’s psychedelic masters Dungen in collaboration with adventurous Brooklyn indie-folk pioneers Woods. On the face of it, it should be a match made in musical heaven and judging by the languid, exploratory, and dynamic, first track Turn Around, we’re in for a treat with the full album. Listen … Continue reading New Dungen & Woods Collaboration
Here is the second track from The Men’s upcoming long player Drift, and it stands in sharp contrast to the synth-driven dancefloor stomper Maybe I’m Crazy which we shared here. This time, Rose on Top of the World is much more akin to a pastoral, paisley filled, psychedelic jam that is closer to the Silver Jews than Ministry. The great thing is that, in it’s … Continue reading More From The Men

The wonky, hypnotic and horn-led Golden Spiral is the latest track to be shared from Holly Miranda’s new album Mutual Horse (out on the 23rd February). The album is her fourth solo release since she emerged with her excellent 2010 debut The Magician’s Private Library. She says of the track, “This track started as a loop I made and was messing around with in my … Continue reading Holly Miranda – Golden Spiral
In the week that we lost the incomparable Mark E Smith, it is perhaps fitting that our current favourite insouciant northerners return with a blistering new single of their own. Arms of Pleonexia comes from Cabbage’s debut album proper, Nihilistic Glamour Shots to be released 30th March on Infectious Music. Blending social comment with mordant black humour and a keen eye for detail, the new single is … Continue reading New Single From Cabbage
Marvellous northern psych-punk duo The Lovely Eggs have shared another cracking (no pun intended) new single from forthcoming long player This Is Eggland. Wiggy Giggy takes us on a cosmic odyssey where “normal” life and always “striving for more” meet something more magical! Where the grass is not always greener whatever side you look from. Of the single, guitarist/vocalist Holly Ross said: “It is inspired … Continue reading New Single From The Lovely Eggs
Dead Meadow will be releasing a new album, The Nothing They Need on 30th March in the UK. They have just shared their first single, Keep Your Head, which perfectly exemplifies the band’s unique marriage of Sabbath riffs, dreamy layers of guitar-fuzz bliss, and singer Jason Simon’s melodic croon. Dive in… Continue reading Dead Meadow – Keep Your Head
