Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Parson Red Heads

The Parson Red Heads will release their latest album, Yearling on August 16th. A band full of truly talented musicians, whose music harkens to the most prolific and inventive elements in the canon of West Coast psych-folk, the band’s music is intricate, gorgeous and rich – in fact it is the perfect match for the warm harmonies of Blind Atlas who we posted about yesterday.

Suuns – New Video & Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed the repetitive electonica and stoner grooves of Suuns debut album Zeroes QC, which called to mind the best bits of Clinic, Suicide and Slowdive in equal measure. Since the release, Suuns have built a reputation for supremely intense live shows, but this is maybe the first video that has properly captured the sheer force of their live performance. The new video comes via … Continue reading Suuns – New Video & Tour

Mad Mackerel Recommends…Sainthood Reps

The Sainthood Reps are a four-piece from Long Island inspired by the local hardcore, punk and indie scene of their surroundings. They will release their debut album Monoculture next month on Tooth & Nail Records.

New from Cowboy And Indian

Cowboy And Indian have slowly but surely been building up some positive press and appreciation for the jaunty country swing of Ledbellies, which we posted a while back. A Stereogum video premiere followed for the slow, mournful folk harmonies of Troubled Tracks and if you’ve not come across it yet, you’re missing a real treat. Watch the video if you’ve not seen it and download below. Download … Continue reading New from Cowboy And Indian

Withered Hand – Live Review

The courtyard space at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford was the unusual, yet ideal, venue for Withered Hand’s first visit to Oxford. Part of Rob St. John’s Adventures Close To Home series of gigs, it was one that we (MM, Popper and Banner) were looking forward to the most. We arrived to a most genteel setting of tea, cake and newspapers, a well … Continue reading Withered Hand – Live Review
