Gum Country Release Somewhere

Duo Gum Country’s self-described “harsh twee” project began back in Vancouver as a series of lo-fi four track recordings made in an apartment, very quietly. It draws on groups like Stereolab, Yo La Tengo, Meat Puppets, and The Magnetic Fields, and envelops and transforms these influences within the warm embrace of fuzzy open-tuned guitar tones, driving drums and melodic keyboard accompaniments. After relocating to LA where … Continue reading Gum Country Release Somewhere

Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard – Double Denim Hop

The infectiously catchy Double Denim Hop, the new single from Welsh quartet Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, expertly mixes 70s glam stomp with a 90s slacker pop attitude, and somehow while remaining fresh, still comes up with a triumphant and nostalgic nod to the past. It is the opening track from an upcoming ten track release The Non-Stop EP, due out on the 10th July via Missing Piece … Continue reading Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard – Double Denim Hop

Bananagun – The Master

Melbourne quintet Bananagun have today shared a new single from their forthcoming album The True Story of Bananagun. The Master is a hectic, rhythmic excursion into colourful psych-pop that is exotic, vibrant and pretty much irresistible. The band draw on 60s and 70s Afrobeat, the proto-garage rhythmic fury of The Monks, and the grooves of Os Mutantes, shaping it all into their own melting pot of tropical … Continue reading Bananagun – The Master

Painted Zeros – When You Found Forever

Released last Friday on Don Giovanni Records, When You Found Forever is the second full-length by Brooklyn’s Painted Zeros aka Katie Lau. We’ve been listening and it is a very beguiling collection, expertly mixing punk with some wall of sound shoegaze, whilst elsewhere delivering some gorgeously sparse, acoustically tinged indie-pop. It is well worth a listen and we have two perfect examples for you – … Continue reading Painted Zeros – When You Found Forever

Widowspeak – Breadwinner

After a long absence, Widowspeak have shared a new song, and video. Breadwinner is the first we’ve heard from the duo since 2017’s Expect the Best album and is a lovely excursion into shimmering reverbed guitars and mellow, layered vocals. Despite the song’s breathy, lush poignancy, there is a stark message in there about the dreary monotony of unfulfilling work, with Molly Hamilton’s vocals making … Continue reading Widowspeak – Breadwinner

Try Some ‘Downer Pop’ from Heads are Heavy

After nearly a decade apart, ex Pity Party members, and long standing partners in musical crime Julie Edwards (aka ‘Heisenflei’) and Marc Smollin (aka “M”) have reunited under the moniker Heads are Heavy – returning with a mysterious video for an equally uncanny song, That Sounds Okay. Shot in Puglia, Italy, the dreamlike, dystopian scenes of fields ablaze, abandoned homes, and industrial devastation provide a … Continue reading Try Some ‘Downer Pop’ from Heads are Heavy

New Video: LEECHES – All Of The People

Formed in a summer haze back in 2016, pysch-trio LEECHES meld infectious garage rock with pop hooks and fuzzy alt-rock. Watch the video for meandering hypnotiser All Of The People, the track crawls along on a tightly wound groove, its light guitars and dual vocals drifting in and out of focus as the bass drags the track along. With a wave of fuzz and splashing drums exploding … Continue reading New Video: LEECHES – All Of The People
