Elizabeth Fey caused a bit of a stir in the Foxygen camp earlier this year with a tumblr post about some of the trials and tribulations within the band that she was a touring member of… She has released some tracks of her own under the Globelamp moniker, the most recent of which Controversial/Confrontational is a lovely excursion into dreamy lo-fi psychedelia and dream pop. … Continue reading MM Shorts 452: Globelamp
London based The Inky Depths play melodic indie in a slightly Big Star or Elliott Smith-type vein. They self-released an album, Just A Phase this week. We have a couple of very promising tracks from it for you to check out and download – the hypnotically catchy November and the altogether noisier, janglier, Doesn’t Matter At All. Both are well worth investing some listening time … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Inky Depths
We have gradually become more and more enamoured of, and seduced by, the charms of Widowspeak, particularly since the release earlier this year of long player Almanac. The follow up is a EP titled The Swamps, and having already posted the woozy, narcotic True Believer from it back in July, we now have another taste for you in the shape of the equally good, and equally … Continue reading Widowspeak – Calico
Our favourite psych-tinged folkies, Elf Power release their latest long player Sunlight On The Moon tomorrow. We’ve already posted two stellar tracks from it, and here is a third for your listening pleasure, the rather lovely Lift The Shell. Order the album here. Continue reading Elf Power Release Sunlight On The Moon Tomorrow
Too many good songs, too little time to do them justice. Accept this offering as the best compromise we can muster, but explore these tunes – they are well worth it – even if we are a bit slow getting some of them to your attention! Kicking us off are indie duo Big Deal and a new single from their much acclaimed album of dark, intoxicating, … Continue reading Monday’s Mega Round-up
We’ve already given you a couple of tunes from summer loving La Vega’s debut album of shimmering harmonies, reverb-drenched surf-rock riffs and lo-fi swagger, but as the last of the sunny weather drifts away for good, it seemed opportune to bid it farewell with a couple more from Wave. Buy the album here. Continue reading MM Shorts 450: More From La Vega
You may well recall from previous posts that Ex-Creation Records artists Pete Fij / Terry Bickers have turned their amps down and teamed up to create a melancholic, downbeat set of songs like the Velvet Underground gone acoustic or Simon & Garfunkel on downers. Latest single is Downsizing upon which they claim to have spend their entire £3 marketing budget on a session in a supermarket … Continue reading New Single From Pete Fij & Terry Bickers
What better way to start the weekend than with the lush, retro-folk of the Honey Ants. The duo formed in April of this year to play folk infused pop songs heavily influenced by 1960s and 1970s music, such as Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles and The Mamas and Papas. Try distinctive new single Give Me Arms, which will be released on the 28th October. However, … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Honey Ants
Ok, for starters (no pun intended), People Person’s Portions for Fatties has to be one of our favourite song titles of the year so far. That it comes from an album called Dumb Supper makes it all the better. Best of all though, is the combination of 60s girl-group harmonies, buzzing feedback, waspish lyrics, and sparse, driving percussion that makes Portions for Fatties a deeply satisfying … Continue reading Introducing >>> People Person
Mary Epworth’s love of music combines 60s West Coast psychedelia, the 70s Beach Boys and traditional English song, and all can be heard to good effect on September, her new single out, appropriately enough, on the 30th of this month. Continue reading New Single From Mary Epworth
