Mad Mackerel Recommends…Bird Names

I caught the bus  To the shit town blues  Playing my saxophone  In a bluesy mood  The downtown shit town blues It is fair to say that writer-producer David Lineal who has released seven albums under the Bird Names moniker with an evolving gallery of musicians has been around the block – lurking contentedly in the D.I.Y. underground since 2005.

They have made a new track from the album available for streaming, and in contrast to the single, Trains is an excursion into more easygoing, laid-back … Continue reading MM Recommends…Wampire

Introducing >>> The Graphite Set

These Streets, the debut EP by Lily Buchanan AKA The Graphite Set, will see a release on 3rd June via Thumbscrew Music. Dealing a nice line in dark psych-folk melded to art-rock, and with some gothic flourishes, the final product sounds like a sonic amalgam of Nico, The Electric Prunes, Julie Driscoll, PJ Harvey, and Jefferson Airplane. Have a listen to the humming, hypnotic title track over … Continue reading Introducing >>> The Graphite Set
