Through The Floor is the second single to be released from Crystal Stilts hotly anticipated second album In Love With Oblivion. Taking a more conventionally “pop” tack than Shake The Shackles, Through The Floor is a two-and-a-half minute thrill ride reminiscent of late Velvet Underground or perhaps some of those legendary early Creation label singles. Watch the explosion of colours in the video and download … Continue reading Crystal Stilts New Single & Video

So just in case, (like us) you are late coming to them, then you’re in for a real treat – from the unwavering desolation of Josh T Pearson to the gung-ho garage riffs of Jeff The Brotherhood, all of these should (if we’d been doing our job properly) have been up on MM long … Continue reading OK…We Confess. We Missed These!
Fishing With Robert is the closing track on the b-side to the new single from Dead Gaze out in France on a collaboration between La Station Radar and Atelier Ciseaux. It is a marvellous combination of fuzzy vocal dischord over a folkish guitar strum, and a side order of New Order poppiness that demands repeated plays. Recommended.

Virginia’s The Diamond Center take great joy in harnessing the wild beast of psych rock with some surf-ish reverb and a hint of spectral country noir and forcing them all together to submit for an epic joy ride of the senses. New single, Caraway, has a haunting, echoing melancholy that spreads over almost six and a half pulsing minutes and somehow manages to soothe and … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…The Diamond Center
