Videos of the Day: Willy Mason || Lowlakes || Sherpa || Boytoy

Any excuse to showcase another tune from Willy Mason’s brilliant new album, this is the video for Pickup Truck. We also have Lowlakes gorgeously haunting video for Song for Motion and the psychedelic power-pop shenanigans of Sherpa’s video for their excellent new single, I’m Happy Just To Lie. Finally, watch the dual-guitar (no bass!) and drums setup of Boytoy, they’re blasting out catchy, fuzzy punky songs … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Willy Mason || Lowlakes || Sherpa || Boytoy

Introducing >>> Men’s Adventures

We’re really enjoying this demo from Men’s Adventures who are completely new to us, but have a nice country-surf thing going on with a sound that calls to mind Dick Dale, The Beach Boys and Ennio Morricone all in one go. Oh, and there’s a dash of tropical sunshine and an underbelly of sweet psychedelia in there too. Take a listen to the wonderfully titled … Continue reading Introducing >>> Men’s Adventures

Today’s videos come from Clinic, with an appropriately shattered and psychedelic offering of broken images and  cascading colours accompanying Seamless Boogie Woogie BBC 10pm (rpt), from Steady Hills we have the folky Long Grey Roads and from the excellently monikered Roadkill Ghost Choir some nine months work of animation for Bird In My Window. Finally, watch Garrett Pierce’s spaghetti western themed video for the haunting Why, … Continue reading Videos of the Day: Clinic || Steady Hills || Roadkill Ghost Choir || Garrett Pierce

Whitehorse: The Fate Of The World Depends On This Kiss

We are long standing admirers of husband and wife duo Whitehorse ever since we discovered their self-titled debut of 2011 – eight songs of blues-stomp and seedy ballads. Somehow we missed their latest album, when it was originally released last summer, but have caught up now as it is seemingly getting a second push with another ‘release’ last month. It takes its title from a … Continue reading Whitehorse: The Fate Of The World Depends On This Kiss

Blank Realm’s New Album: Go Easy

We love Fire Records. Hot on the heels of a number of notable recent releases (Wooden Wand, Lower Plenty, Tom Morgan to name but three) comes yet another in the shape of Australia’s psych-popsters Blank Realm and their excellent forthcoming new album Go Easy. Sitting somewhere between the melancholic churn and burn of Mercury Rev and The Flaming Lips and the noisy squall of Sonic Youth, the four-piece … Continue reading Blank Realm’s New Album: Go Easy

MM Shorts 308: Wolf Alice – White Leather

We were very taken with Wolf Alice’s debut single Fluffy back in early January which sees an official release next week. We now have a stream of the single’s b-side, White Leather for you. Where Fluffy’s ironically balls-out tale of cheap thrills in small towns peaked, White Leather is its perfect counteractive soliloquy. Ellie Rowsell’s vocal takes centre stage, as a tranquil sonic path echoing … Continue reading MM Shorts 308: Wolf Alice – White Leather

Introducing >>> Wry Climate

New York’s Wry Climate have a sound best described as guitar-driven indie rock that combines jangly guitars, complex compositions and squally feedback. A sound that is equally reminiscent of the Byrds, Beach Fossils, Dirty Projectors and Sonic Youth. Comfort Decay is the first track off their new EP that will be coming out later this year. Stream it below or head to their Bandcamp page … Continue reading Introducing >>> Wry Climate
