As an added incentive, … Continue reading New Album From Dr. Dog
Emmett Drueding featured on MM a fair few times in 2015. Recently he flew out to Los Angeles in March to record a full length album, drunkenly cutting ten tracks in four days – the end result was a new band Loverboy Wanderers and a record titled Let’s Hook. Big Boy is the first single off the album, and is a characterization of what it takes to … Continue reading Introducing >>> Loverboy Wanderers

San Antonio’s We Leave At Midnight recently announced their new album The Holy Rolling Flower Band will be released on December 9th via Texas Is Funny Records. Mixing together swirls of vivid psych, shimmering pop, indie rock, folk, upbeat power-pop, garage rock and alt-country, the band have created a sound that resides somewhere sonically between The Beach Boys and Of Montreal. It’s a headtrip with … Continue reading Introducing >>> We Leave At Midnight

With foundations in Manchester, W. H. Lung is a three piece that have just shared a first single that is a quite spectacular, breathtaking near-eight minute epic. Inspiration! speaks to the ideas of eternity, belonging and meaninglessness, it takes the shape of a pulsing, kraut-psych journey. The motorik nature of the track stems from W. H. Lung’s writing ethic which, with an Alesis drum machine at its core, … Continue reading Introducing >>> W.H. Lung
Cloud Nothings have shared another taste from their forthcoming album Life Without Sound which is out in January. Internal World might be one of our favourite tracks of theirs to date – an instant classic in the Dylan Baldi canon, packing an EPs worth of earworms into less than 4 minutes. It is a lullaby-like howler that dwells on “the fact that being yourself can be uncomfortable and … Continue reading Cloud Nothings – Internal World
Happyness will release the successor to 2014’s excellent long player Weird Little Birthday next Spring and they have shared the first taste of what the album will sound like in the form of new single Falling Down. It has echoes of early Fleetwood Mac, a touch of Interpol perhaps, even a synth outdo, but essentially it remains as resolutely and defiantly true to their laid-back melancholia as always. … Continue reading Happyness Share Falling Down
