Hailing from Gdansk in Poland, Trupa Trupa are a new addition to the Sub Pop label and it is easy to see why on the strength of the woozily menacing Dream About. Theirs is a world teeming with nihilistic considerations, slyly dark humour, and survivalist self-assurances. The oft repeated “I dream about no one, no way, no one / I’ve got nothing to hide, I will just … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Trupa Trupa

Half Painted House, is the lead single and manages to be both hypnotic and seductive at the same time, without sacrificing any of their queasy post-punk goodness, squally guitars or reverb drenched vocals. Listen to the single below. The album is … Continue reading Nots Announce 3
Another cracking track from Fontaines D.C.’s upcoming album Dogrel. This is Roy’s Tune, it showcases a more reflective side to the Dublin foursome, but it is no less powerful for all that. Watch the video here. Continue reading Fontaines D.C. Share Roy’s Tune
