Last September we ran an “Introducing” post on The Ukiah Drag. We described their cassette release Jazz Mama Is Cryin as four tracks of brilliantly bleak, desolate, and warped blues and acid-rock – taut, tense, hypnotic and all consuming – like the evil offspring of Giant Sand and the Birthday Party. Now they have a new 7″ primed for release. The Dirt Trip is the band’s first studio output … Continue reading New From Ukiah Drag
Another month, another free mix of the best of our downloads from February. As always the mix includes some new tunes too from the retro 60s swagger of The Rebel Light, quirky bedroom pop from Copenhagen’s Eerie Glue, the excellent Lou Reed inspired, slacker rock of Posse, and King of Prussia’s literate, indie pop jangle. Download them all below. . The Woodgrains – Devils Disheveled … Continue reading Mad Mackerel’s Best Of The Month: February 2014
Some excellent videos, mainly featuring deserts, suns and tribes oddly in one way or another, to start the day from the brilliant Desert Mountain Tribe, A Mini Tribe (who feature members of Sleepy Sun, Bella Vista and Són Boom and have a stripped back, gloriously spartan version of Nico’s These Days), The Big Sun, and finally New Desert Blues. . . . [Click through for free download] . . Continue reading Videos of the Day: Desert Mountain Tribe || A Mini Tribe || The Big Sun || New Desert Blues
We’ve posted a few tracks already from New Electric Ride’s excellent Balloon Age album – a heady, swirling and infectious trip into UK psychedelia of the grooviest kind. The latest track to get an airing is Marquis De Sade, which as the song develops, possibly features the catchiest riff on the whole record – and that’s saying something. Listen below. Order the album here. . Continue reading Another From New Electric Ride
We loved North Hollywood Microwaves, the first taste from the forthcoming Pink Mountaintops album Get Back (which, incidentally, has one of our favourite album sleeves of the year so far). And if anything we’re loving Ambulance City the latest track to get shared even more – a relentless driving rhythm, frantic, borderline hysterical vocals, and we get something akin to Spacemen 3 on adrenalin. This is … Continue reading More From Pink Mountaintops
Having got back from discovering some of the many delights of Denmark, there were a few songs to catch up on and share. So starting the week with a round-up of ten fine tunes seemed the right way to go… We have just discovered the excellent Cornish sisters Hockeysmith, offering an alluring mix of woozy noise-pop, claustrophobic psychedelic and even a hint of menacing, pulsating disco. Put … Continue reading Mad Mackerel’s Monday Round Up
Mosey West is a four-piece band from Fort Collins, CO who self-released their new EP, Bermuda back in January. The six-song, self-produced EP fuses hazy distorted guitar and reverb soaked vocals with folk, psychedelia and country-rock influences to deliver something really rather good. Take a listen to Old Stone and Hurricane Eyes below. You can buy the EP here. . . Continue reading Mosey West – Bermuda EP
As we’re away for a few days we have scheduled a few posts to highlight some excellent stuff that has come our way, but which we haven’t had the time to do justice too in words! Sleepy Hahas fuses punk, blues and psych rock for a sound that is as refined and melody-driven as it is experimental. They have announced their new single Dull Days, … Continue reading MM Shorts 524: Sleepy HaHas
