Another From Fishdoctor

Yesterday we included the excellent single Atlantic by Fishdoctor in our Best of July downloads post, and as if by magic, the band have followed it up almost instantly with a new single Seasons. This time we get about as sunny a slice of good natured surf-pop as you can imagine. The melody sweeps along on the back of propulsive percussion, uptempo guitars and sweetly … Continue reading Another From Fishdoctor

New Album From Forest Fire

Forest Fire are longstanding favourites of MM, and Fortune Teller from their 2008 debut Survival remains one of our favourite songs ever. So, much celebrating at the news they are returning with their third long player, Screens on September 10th via FatCat. Apparently it will deal in sparser, harsher sonic landscapes matching synth and drone in equal measure and with nods to the late ’70s output … Continue reading New Album From Forest Fire

New Night Beats Album

The Reverberation Appreciation Society, the label arm of Austin Psych Fest, will release the new Night Beats record, Sonic Bloom on September 24, as a co-release with Burger Records. A first taste of what to expect comes in the shape of Outta Mind, a reverb laden slab of psych-rock with echoes of blues and soul and a healthy nod to the mind-bending sonics of the … Continue reading New Night Beats Album

Introducing >>> The Cigarette Bums

The Cigarette Bums are described as “a Dylan-meets-Daniel Johnston–meets-Replacements-meets-Beefheart smash-up”, which, upon a couple of spins of debut single Rude Dude would seem as accurate as anything we might have come up with. Less frenzied or raw than you might expect, there is nothing sloppy about these fellas and real, honest-to-goodness songwriting chops are hard at work here. It channels its undeniable energy into delivering … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Cigarette Bums

Desert Stars is a five-piece band from Brooklyn, formed at the tail end of 2008, and now releasing their debut long player Habit Shackles. It is a intriguing mix of indie rock, shoegaze and psych pop, tipping its hat to Beach House certainly, and Mazzy Star, and also with nods to bands like The Walkmen too, but always confident enough (and intriguing enough) to demand more than … Continue reading Debut Album From Desert Stars

Debut Album From Dream Boys

Independent music from the West Coast of Scotland has always had a kinship with psychedelic pop music from the West Coast of America. Orange Juice loved The Byrds, Teenage Fanclub wanted to be in Buffalo Springfield, The Pastels adored The Electric Prunes. And so it is with Dream Boys – a modern-day trans-Atlantic love affair realized. Consisting of three Americans and one Scotsman, the group filters … Continue reading Debut Album From Dream Boys
