MIEN – Black Habit

Comprised of The Black Angel’s Alex Maas, The Horror’s Tom Furse, Elephant Stone’s Rishi Dhir and The Earlies’ John-Mark Lapham, MIEN have announced their self-titled debut album will be released on Friday 6th April via Rocket Recordings.  It is a record that finds equal room for radiant groove-based propulsion and ambient dreamscapes alike – as comfortable with the murky hallucinogenic voyage of You Dreamt as the powerful widescreen sweep of (I’m Tired Of) Western Shouting. MIEN … Continue reading MIEN – Black Habit

The Prefab Messiahs – Psychsploitation Today

Originally together from 1981-1983, self-proclaimed micro-legendary weirdoz The Prefab Messiahs followed a unique post-punk musical trajectory through the burgeoning-yet-insular Wormtown (Worcester, MA) underground. Aside from the 1983 cassette Flex Your Mind, though, no recorded material was available from them until 1998’s Devolver CD-R – an anthology of their recordings from the early ’80s. Fast-forward three decades later to the official remastered release of Devolver via Burger Records, followed by … Continue reading The Prefab Messiahs – Psychsploitation Today

MM Shorts 993: Wooing

Ba Da Bing are releasing Daydream Time Machine, the first EP from Brooklyn’s Wooing.
