Introducing >>> High Waisted
High Waisted are a surf-rock band from New York – on their way home from SXSW they stopped in Nashville to party, dropped some acid and recorded these two tracks live to mic in a haunted house in Nashville. The results are the Acid Tapes Vol. 1. Now that’s the kind of rock ‘n’ roll back story we like to hear. The results are ramshackle, messy … Continue reading Introducing >>> High Waisted
MM Shorts 564: The Yetis
The Yetis is a band name that sounds like it should come straight from the classic flower-power era of the 60s, and this surf-pop quartet from Philadelphia certainly have a lovely vintage, retro feel to their sunny psych-infused garage jangle. Download/listen to Warm California and Girl, I Wanna Be Your Man. . . Continue reading MM Shorts 564: The Yetis
New Single From Formes
Yorkshire psych-rockers and spacedust cowboys Formes have a new single, Be Your Own God, due out on the 2nd June. Distorted guitars weave their way skywards over crunchy percussion and a ominous echoing vocal that promises nothing good is going to come of things. Have a listen. .

MM Shorts 563: Stickers
In August, Seattle based no-wave noiseniks Stickers will release their debut album Swollen via End of Time Records. The first single is the pulsating, churning menace of Outlet, which carries a palpable sense of unease, and which we are obviously delighting in! It bodes extremely well for the album. Strem/download it here. Pre-order Swollen here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 563: Stickers
New Single From The Fresh & Onlys
Who Let The Devil is to be the next single from The Fresh & Onlys, and is taken from their forthcoming long player House of Spirits. It might well be our favourite track we’ve heard from them to date, a creepy ode to demonic possession and Old Nick himself that is borne on a queasy, hypnotic rhythm and perfectly counterbalanced by Tim Cohen’s affecting and paranoid … Continue reading New Single From The Fresh & Onlys
New Album From Nathan K.
Almost exactly a year ago we posted a video by Nathan K. for his plaintive track Bob Seger, and so it was good to discover from an MM reader than he now has a new album, Methodist Girls due for release on the 8th July. The album opens with Sloppy Love, a softly strummed, resigned, woozy folk hymnal that reveals the sorrow at its core … Continue reading New Album From Nathan K.
Saturday @ The Great Escape
Having spent two days at the Great Escape mostly under a regular onslaught of aggressive guitars and drums, it was a relief to head out early and catch a marvellous set of twangy Americana, folk and country from The Crooked Brothers who were playing at the Alberta Music Week Canada Showcase – not only that but there was a mighty fine breakfast on offer too. … Continue reading Saturday @ The Great Escape
Friday @ The Great Escape
On reflection, it was a day for the Celts at the Great Escape, and the Aussies, and even the Argentinians… We kicked off the day with a set from New Desert Blues, whose mix of folk, country and indie rock has graced previous posts here on MM. They have a debut album in the pipeline and happily the songs they showcased from this stood up … Continue reading Friday @ The Great Escape
Introducing >>> Dust From 1000 Yrs
This popped up in our Soundcloud stream and has become an instant fave here at MM. Smoke Em Up is the brilliant first single of resigned, word-weary psych-tinged folk from Bloomington, IN’s Dust From 1000 Yrs. It is taken from the forthcoming Famous Cigarettes EP, due out June 10th via Exploding In Sound Records. The EP is split between Bad History Month and Dust From 1000 Yrs, and … Continue reading Introducing >>> Dust From 1000 Yrs
