Desert Noises are gearing up for the release of their debut LP 27 Ways, which sees a release in March next year via SQE Music. 27 Ways pays homage to a range of musical staples from Fleetwood Mac to Tom Petty and the Delta blues. Psychedelic guitar work rubs shoulders with heartrending Americana songwriting in tracks that stretch wider and run deeper than any of … Continue reading Desert Noises – 27 Ways

Last day of the working week, so celebrate with some new videos. We have the twisted, gnarly rock’n’roll of Shannon & The Clams, some sweetly dissonant pop from Tancred, Swedish lo-fi psych from No Coda, country-psych from Immigrant Union, and slacker rock from Charleston’s Elim Bolt. . . . . . Continue reading Videos of the Day: Shannon & The Clams || Tancred || No Coda || Immigrant Union || Elim Bolt
Plenty to enjoy today as our videos come from boisterous up and coming indie-rockers Catfish & The Bottlemen, the punked-up raw country of Shovels & Rope, and the fuzzed up psychedelia and krautrock from Brilliant Beast. We also have the refined, vintage pop of Sweet Gum Tree featuring MM fave Isobel Campbell, and lastly the dark pop and grandiose hooks of Dinosaur Bones. Fill yer boots. . . … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Catfish & The Bottlemen || Shovels & Rope || Brilliant Beast || Sweet Gum Tree || Dinosaur Bones
In typical Savaging Spires fashion we were sent a Soundcloud link and very little else (i.e. nothing at all) to herald their new long player We Should Be Dead Together. From what little we have been able to glean, the album consists of eleven new tracks and will be released as a limited CD at the end of this month and out in January in … Continue reading New Savaging Spires Album
We are thoroughly grooving out to Star Stamp, the first taste of Holy Wave’s forthcoming album entitled Relax, and out via the Reverberation Appreciation Society on the the 28th January on vinyl, CD, digital download and a cassette co-release with Burger Records. Taking elements of surf rock, hypnotic drone, fuzzy riffs and blending them all together with a dash of dissociative hallucinogenics and the occasional bad trip, … Continue reading New Album From Holy Wave
Mausoleum is the title of the first full-length release from Shaky Shrines. It is nine tracks of excellent reverb laden, garage-psych that would sit very favourably between your Black Angels and Wooden Shjips records. Check out album opener Strangers’ Eyes and possibly our favourite track on the record, the six minute drone freak out of Someone’s In The Basement. This is really good stuff! Buy … Continue reading MM Shorts 475: Shaky Shrines
We have no less than six excellent videos and songs to help you begin to welcome in the weekend. First up is Beachwood Sparks and their 70s inspired home footage homage is a perfect fit for track Make It Together. By way of contrast, the video for fuzzed-up indie rockers, September Girls new single Heartbeats, draws on influences of old Hammer Horrors and photographers such Ryan McGinley and … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Beachwood Sparks || September Girls || Talmud Beach || DZ Deathrays || Wild Ones || Caravan Of Thieves
Howe Gelb has been picking up some stellar reviews for new album The Coincidentalist, which saw a release earlier this month on the 5th November, via the excellent New West Records label. The album features an all-star cast of musician friends: Bonnie “Prince” Billy, M. Ward, KT Tunstall, Andrew Bird and Sonic Youth’s Steve Shelley, and is a brilliantly unhurried, melodic collection of lysergic desert-folk. … Continue reading Howe Gelb – The Coincidentalist
