Introducing >>> Vive la Void

Vive la Void is a new project from Sanae Yamada, co-founder and keyboardist of longstanding MM faves Moon Duo. The self-titled album comes out on 4th May via Sacred Bones Records. Vive la Void took shape over a two-year period, during windows of downtime in Moon Duo’s substantial touring and recording schedule. The dense, shape-shifting atmospheres of the seven songs grew out of late-night basement experiments in the layering … Continue reading Introducing >>> Vive la Void

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Nest Egg

Nest Egg are a three-piece from Asheville, North Carolina who describe their head-heavy and kosmische psych-rock wig-outs as ‘mood music for nihilists’. That was always likely to be a good match for MM, and so it proves with the minimalist kraut-punk of lead-single Long Night Outside, which comes from their sophomore album Nothingness Is Not A Curse. Permission to wig out is granted. Enjoy…   Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Nest Egg

New Courtney Barnet Track

Here is the second track from Courtney Barnett’s upcoming long player Tell Me How You Really Feel. Need A Little Time is a more fragile, tender beast than we are perhaps used to and hints at further depths while its plaintive tone and floating arrangement makes it just as memorable as the fizzing punk tones of first single Nameless Faceless. Watch the excellent video for it … Continue reading New Courtney Barnet Track

Introducing >>> The Holy Knives

The Holy Knives is the sonic vision of brothers Kyle and Kody Valentine, a band that infuses the sultry sounds of rock’n’roll with a tinge of desert psychedelia.

Round Up Time

Time for a quick and dirty round-up from our unkempt and overflowing in-box, looking back over the past month or so. We have fuzzy art-rock from Sego who mix together warped psych rock and indie pop to create bleak pop songs that soar into big hooks and brilliant melodic noise. Opting for a slower tempo on Cigarette Kids, their most recent single is less skronk and more … Continue reading Round Up Time
