We’ve loved both the tracks we’ve heard so far from Aussie five piece Beaches forthcoming double album Second Of Spring (out 8th September). The third single to be shared is Arrow, possibly the most infectious yet with a huge riff lifted heavenward by massed guitars, layered vocals and driving percussion, and not only that, there’s a great video to watch too. Filmed by Beaches’ own Antonia Sellback, … Continue reading More From Beaches
We are completing a trio of Americana themed posts today with Bay Area bluesman Blind Lemon Pledge whose love of pre-WWII Country Blues imbues his compositions with an whimsical, old-time flavour. Haunting, sombre tracks like The Hills Of West Virginia feel like a precursor to freewheeling-era Dylan / stripped down Springsteen. Have a listen. Continue reading MM Shorts 968: Blind Lemon Pledge
We’ve already shared tracks from Micah P. Hinson’s new album The Holy Strangers, but nothing that compares with this! Micah Book One, is the centrepiece of the record and at almost 8 minutes long, finds our man reading from the chapter of the same name.

Listen below and … Continue reading Micah P Hinson – Micah Book One

Honey Colony drips around the ears in a completely beguiling and seductive manner, melding the story of a bee with that of a workaholic. It is taken from forthcoming album Fractures (out on the 1st September). Influences like … Continue reading Soft Fangs – Honey Colony
