It is getting to that time when we’re feeling like the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland – so many tunes to share, so little time! So at the risk of doing somewhat of a disservice in terms of the prose to describe these, here are a collection of tunes that have landed in our in-box or mailbox and that really deserve some ear-time from … Continue reading New Music Round Up
We’re loving this Kelley Stoltz track taken from his long overdue new long player Double Exposure, out in September via Third Man Records. The phenomenally titled Kim Chee Taco Man is breezy, garage pop perfection that just begs to be played over and over. Roll on the album! Continue reading MM Shorts 423: Kelley Stoltz
Videos today include another from T. Hardy Morris’ series of The Audition Tapes From Places In Peril, the brilliant Share The Needle was filmed in Georgia’s iconic Paradise Garden. We also have This Frontier Needs Heroes new video for excellent album title track Hooky, and Savoir Adore’s fiery new music film for Regalia.

Seattle six-piece The Head And The Heart will return with Let’s Be Still, the follow-up to their acclaimed 2011 debut album on Sub Pop. They are streaming first single Shake, and they have marked their return with a effervescent, joyful track where those renowned three-part harmonies remain very much to the fore. Have a listen below. Pre-order the new album here. Continue reading New From The Head And The Heart
A new week, some new tunes to soften the blow. We have a taste (if that’s the right word) from Diarrhea Planet’s new album I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams in the shape of the sleazy, roiling Babyhead. By way of contrast we have Frankie Rose’s new track Sorrow from her scheduled new long player Herein Wild, a deceptively simple and sweetly melancholic pop track … Continue reading New Tunes On Monday
Five excellent videos to start the weekend for you. First, the much lauded Jackson Scott with a surreal and eerie film to accompany stand out track That Awful Sound from his debut album Melbourne. Then we have the cinematic video for B.B. Vulture from one of favourite new discoveries of 2013, Men’s Adventures, and we have the garage punk and blues fusion of surf rockers Hindu … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Jackson Scott || Men’s Adventures || Hindu Pirates || Sun Blood Stories || Kill Moon
Yesterday we included the excellent single Atlantic by Fishdoctor in our Best of July downloads post, and as if by magic, the band have followed it up almost instantly with a new single Seasons. This time we get about as sunny a slice of good natured surf-pop as you can imagine. The melody sweeps along on the back of propulsive percussion, uptempo guitars and sweetly … Continue reading Another From Fishdoctor
Summer Cannibals just released a third track off their debut album, No Makeup, which gets an official release on the 6th August. Like the previous two tasters, Take Me Out is brilliant, and may well be our favourite yet from the album. It’s an irresistibly good slab of garage punk that somehow deliberately (and cleverly) manages to meld a certain weary insouciance in the vocals with … Continue reading (Another) Great Track From Summer Cannibals
