We’ve posted a few tracks already from New Electric Ride’s excellent Balloon Age album – a heady, swirling and infectious trip into UK psychedelia of the grooviest kind. The latest track to get an airing is Marquis De Sade, which as the song develops, possibly features the catchiest riff on the whole record – and that’s saying something. Listen below. Order the album here. . Continue reading Another From New Electric Ride
Having got back from discovering some of the many delights of Denmark, there were a few songs to catch up on and share. So starting the week with a round-up of ten fine tunes seemed the right way to go… We have just discovered the excellent Cornish sisters Hockeysmith, offering an alluring mix of woozy noise-pop, claustrophobic psychedelic and even a hint of menacing, pulsating disco. Put … Continue reading Mad Mackerel’s Monday Round Up

We have to confess to being completely caught from left-field by this track from Sydney two-piece Twin Caverns. After all this is not usually a blog for electronica, soul, or trip-hop (whatever that actually is), yet apparently this is what this is according to those much more qualified than us… Around 99% of the time this type of stuff completely passes us by, but this track, … Continue reading Introducing >>> Twin Caverns
The Singles have revealed Inamorata, the first single from their upcoming album, Look How Fast A Heart Can Break. The Los Angeles, via Detroit duo’s stripped down, jaunty garage-pop boldly nods to T. Rex’s influences, but done this well that is no bad thing at all. Just off to dig out my platforms and glitter… . Continue reading MM Shorts 520: The Singles
