No Vacation – Mind Fields

San Francisco five piece No Vacation combine the novel sounds of college nostalgia and surf-tinged bedroom indie to create wistful, yet buoyant dream-pop. New single Mind Fields is out in June via Topshelf Records. Heavily influenced by the band’s previous break-up, year-long hiatus, and subsequent reunion the song is a gem – tinged with a touch of shoegaze, and sounding like it has just been re-discovered … Continue reading No Vacation – Mind Fields

MM Shorts 930: Dolly Spartans

The excellently named Dolly Spartans new EP Time Sides With No One, was written in the wake of their guitarists’ sudden death of a drug overdose at age 22 and details frontman Michael Eliran’s struggle to cope with the tragedy of losing his best friend. With echoes of Wavves or Fidlar, Hanging Out is a prime slice of thrumming, garage pop that documents the turmoil … Continue reading MM Shorts 930: Dolly Spartans

Public Service Broadcasting – Progress

Progress is taken from Public Service Broadcasting’s upcoming third album (the subject of which remains a closely-guarded secret). Guest vocals from Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura adds a new dimension to the music. Her keening, affecting and decidedly human performance combines and contrasts with samples hinting at a world of mechanisation and automation, as Kraftwerk-like vocoders, driving guitars, propulsive drums and melodic synths all fight for … Continue reading Public Service Broadcasting – Progress

MM Shorts 928: Yawn Mower

What’s All This New Piss? might well be our favourite record title of the year so far. It is the name of the latest release from New York fuzz-pop duo Yawn Mower. The ethos of the pair is simple: make fuzzy, surfy good time tunes while having a blast doing it. On the evidence of Paddle Out and Shed Is Old, it’s mission accomplished. Have a listen. … Continue reading MM Shorts 928: Yawn Mower
