Pennsylvania folk/rock duo Native Harrow are back with a new song, Shake, the first to be taken from new long-player Closeness (out on the 4th September via Loose).

For Brighton’s Chappaqua Wrestling, the arrival of new single Football is the product of both embracing change, and an unfortunately enforced break from touring. The band’s hiatus gleefully allowing them to side-step some of the nostalgic sounds of recent singles Plant Trees, Is She Happy Turning On Her Side? and Early, and instead leaning into a world of big-hearted, world-weary, understated anthemia. A thick, sprawling, … Continue reading Chappaqua Wrestling – Football

We first posted about Melbourne’s Immigrant Union back in 2013 or so, and to be honest they had kind of slipped off our radar somewhat. By happy chance, we came across new album Judas and very quickly got ourselves reacquainted with their heady brew of country-psych, garage rock and power pop. It is an excellent album. I mean a properly excellent album, full of twangy … Continue reading Immigrant Union – Judas

We’re loving Golf Alpha Bravo’s (aka Gab Winterfield of Jagwar Ma) debut solo album The Sundog LP. Here is another track from it – some mellow psych-surf rock in the shape of Comet Loop, a sun-bleached hazy gem that bounces along on the back of a sweet 70s soul groove. Continue reading Golf Alpha Bravo – Comet Loop
Following the excellent seven minute plus epic of garage-psych glory that was Page Before, here’s another from Venus Furs, the moniker of Montreal’s Paul Kasner. Beginning with a heavy guitar riff Paranoia carries a tenacity that matches the song’s theme. A powerful exploration of mental illness examining the isolation and pain brought on from depression and anxiety. Catch the video below. The self-titled LP will … Continue reading More From Venus Furs
