We’ve previously shared Eskimeaux’s I Admit I’m Scared, an excellent track of infectiously meandering, beat-driven, bedroom pop. She has now offered up Sparrow the latest single from her forthcoming album O.K. and it is another gem of indie goodness with sweetly poetic vocals swept along on the back of tribal percussion and understated guitars. Stream it, and her previous single the uptempo Broken Necks below. . . Continue reading New Single From Eskimeaux
Julie Ann Baenziger aka Sea Of Bees will release her new album Build A Boat To The Sun on June 30th. The record sees her leaving the darkness for brighter horizons, gathering the good things up, leaving the bad behind and moving forward. The music has also moved forward sonically from the previous releases with more tracks having a full band sound after she bought a drum set and … Continue reading New Track From Sea Of Bees
Flamingo Bay have just released Steak & Eggs, a ten track album of punky power-pop flecked with garage, grunge and even dare we say it some 80s hair-metal. Luckily a strong sense of the irreverent is also present as is a willingness to experiment and step outside the typical genre boxes and see what else might be fun to play with. Watch the video for Killer … Continue reading Introducing >>> Flamingo Bay

Now their sophomore album, Heydays, is set for release on May 18th through Wichita Recordings worldwide. Blurred Time is the most … Continue reading MM Shorts 701: Total Babes
Sea Lion – AKA Gothenberg native Linn Osterberg – has today shared a brand new song in the shape of Room. A sparse, piano ballad in the vein of Cat Power or early Kate Bush, that is as haunting as it is mesmerising. Have a listen. . Continue reading MM Shorts 700: Sea Lion
Until recently, we were unaware of the lo-fi bedroom charms of Elvis Depressedly, that was until we heard the brilliant Bruises (Amethyst) (taken from forthcoming long player New Alhambra), which has become a firm fave here at MM Towers. The duo have now released a beautiful new video for latest single, and album opener, Thou Shalt Not Murder. It showcases perfectly their brightly melancholic noise-pop inspired by heroes … Continue reading New Video: Elvis Depressedly – Thou Shalt Not Murder
It has been more than a couple of years since we featured London based garage-popsters Love L.U.V.

Borrowing their name from the immortal spoken word intro to … Continue reading Love L.U.V. Cover Buddy Holly
