Gong Gong Gong – Siren 追逐劇

We’re loving this track from Beijing’s Gong Gong Gong who make driving, stripped-down transnational blues, tapping into the spirit of Bo Diddley, the Monks, and psychedelic music from West Africa to Southeast Asia.

Shot-by-shot, frame-by-frame, Siren 追逐劇 is a story of galloping hooves and screeching tires—a horse and car racing each other through mountains and desert, charging into the city and all set to a thumping, hypnotic low-end pulse.

EZTV – Daytime

Daytime the new single from New York trio EZTV is a really sweet slice of jangly indie rock that recalls the 60’s heyday of pastoral psychedelia and all those wonderful nugget compilations.

Listen here and order here from Bandcamp.

Here is our latest collection of musical films for you. A regular pot pourri of musical styles from Girl Skin’s gorgeously fragile chamber folk to Sit Down’s oozing amalgam of doom metal and sludgy punk by way of The Cavemen’s amphetamine-fueled rhythms and scorching guitar, coupled with drunk and disorderly vocal tirades, and First Aid Kit’s ever perfect vocal harmonies.

There is Steve Mason’s soulful new single, brash snot-rock from TV COMA and the pummelling psych rock of the Oh Sees and Black Delta Movement and more hypnotic stoner wooze from The Holydrug Couple.

New Vulgarians single

We’ve featured Hull’s Vulgarians a few times on MM, ever since seeing them support TRAAMS in Oxford.

A compelling mix of post-punk and psych-rock, the band’s excellent new single Dead People Are Easier To Love is their first new music since last year’s Almost Instinct, Almost True EP, and makes use of 80s synthesisers to add a new level of sonic urgency to their sound

Have a listen.

Introducing >>> Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks

With an album cover like that, and a name like Rude Dude and the Creek Freaks, one would be entitled to expect some high octane, garage-psych of the highest order.

Thankfully, this first release from the Savannah record shop, Graveface Records & Curiosities, delivers on all counts.

Top banana as we like to say. Stream the marvellously named Dan Halen here, and preorder the vinyl or digital download from Bandcamp here.

 

Mad Mackerel Recommends… One Eleven Heavy

The latest project to involve long standing MM fave James Jackson Toth (aka Wooden Wand), as well as Hans Chew, Nick Mitchell Maiato, Ryan Jewell and Dan Brown, is an album from One Eleven Heavy titled Everything’s Better.

It wonderfully evokes the classic 70s cosmic country of Gram Parsons and The Grateful Dead via their own unique take on that era’s psychedelic jams and gnarly roots rock.

Check out the brilliant Crosses and Old Hope Chest and buy the album from Bandcamp here.

Mad Mackerel Recommends… Gently Tender

Gently Tender have risen from the ashes of Palma Violets, a band that started promisingly (we saw them perform an insane set at SXSW a few years ago), but soon faded into rather generic, mundane indie rockdom.

The new band features three ex-Violets (Sam Fryer, Pete Mayhew and Will Doyle) plus Big Moon’s Celia Archer and guitarist Adam Brown. Who knows if they have taken their naming inspiration from the Incredible String Band’s 1967 track of the same name, but the two songs they have shared have a definite psychedelic edge and in the case of latest track Avez-Vous Déjà, a more contemplative, pastoral English country garden feel.

Stream it below together with the ragged swagger of first single 2 Chords Good.
