Phobophobes – The Never Never 7″

South London’s Phobophobes share the same DIY aesthetic and healthy cynicism for the commercial world as contemporaries like Fat White Family, Meatraffle, and Goat Girl. And never more so on latest single The Never Never, an ode to the precarious survivalism of society’s most disenfranchised. Swirling through repetitive slogans, rubbishing the adverts that promise a life we can’t really afford as pastiche, and asking earnestly, … Continue reading Phobophobes – The Never Never 7″

New Single From The Karma Repair Kit

New single BITE carries on the good work – raucous, intense and dissonant with nods to the likes of Mudhoney, Slint and Savages, the Bristol four piece are marking themselves out as ones to watch. Stream it below. Buy from Bandcamp here.   Continue reading New Single From The Karma Repair Kit

Eleven Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

After last week’s bonanza of new tunes, we’re back with eleven more tracks gathered up from the past seven days. No reduction in quality either with another (and the best yet) taste from Laura Marling’s new record Semper Femina, a brand new instrumental track from pastoral psych rockers Allah Las and another ominous slice of brooding Americana from Timber Timbre. We also have new singles from … Continue reading Eleven Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

BAIT – Push The Elephant

BAIT’s brilliant debut track I’m Still Here was so good it made it into our end of year best of lists. Now, with an insistent hybrid of wonky electronics and angular post-punk (that tips the hat to Killing Joke, Death in Vegas, and The Fall), we get to hear Push The Elephant, the debut single proper from the anonymous audio/visual artist. Great stuff – stream it here.   Continue reading BAIT – Push The Elephant

MM Shorts 918: Tin Can Telescope

Here is a slightly chaotic pop song by Tin Can Telescope about being a tourist in New York. It is inspired by a classic Strokes-esque New Yorker sound and infused with the slacker mentality of Pavement and the psychotic vocals by Black Francis of Pixies. Tin Can Telescope is a Danish garage rock band from Grenaa. Their latest EP is Winding up the Reeling Sensation, released … Continue reading MM Shorts 918: Tin Can Telescope

New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce

Here is a quick selection of five excellent new videos that have caught our eye (and ears) recently. Jade Jackson creates a sound that is simultaneously new and old, merging a youthful spiritedness with a weary storyteller’s perspective usually reserved for veteran artists. Stylistically the sound is unapologetically country rock. It merges the heartbreak and resilience of Lucinda Williams with the melodic confidence of Emmylou Harris, yet … Continue reading New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce

If nothing else it means new songs from those horrified by the new leader of the free world – so to kick us off we have offerings from Suuns, Meat Wave, Father John Misty and an update on a protest song classic … Continue reading Twelve Songs You Should Have Heard This Week
