New Single From Dream Police

In 2014 The Men side-project Dream Police released their excellent debut LP Hypnotized, toured extensively, and ultimately, as side projects tend to work, they returned focus to their primary band. Fortunately, after three years wait, they got together recently and recorded a brand new single. Revenge. Happily too, their signature use of the Roland 707 drum machine, the driving but psychedelic bass line, the droning organ, … Continue reading New Single From Dream Police

MM Shorts 979: Good Boy

Filled with incendiary vitriol, and with nods to the best of Cloud Nothings, Parquet Courts and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Fishing With A Shotgun is a brilliant, two and a half  minute burst of hyper-intelligent garage punk energy from Brisbane’s Good Boy. It is the first single to come from brand new EP Shirk Life, and also has a tasty video with some nice 3D animation. It takes aim at … Continue reading MM Shorts 979: Good Boy

MM Shorts 978: Pretty Lightning

Back in 2007 Pretty Lightning formed. The German duo tick off a long list of influences – from 60s psych and delta blues through to krautrock and drone – and the end-product is a heady dose of raw, twisted psychedelic-blues recalling an utterly visceral, mind-blowing mix of Oh Sees, Wooden Shjips and early Black Keys. They already have two highly-praised LPs behind them and are … Continue reading MM Shorts 978: Pretty Lightning
