Nine Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

Nine songs for your listening pleasure gathered from the week’s new releases. We have Mountain Goats showing that even with a throwaway song, composed off the back of a jokey Twitter conversation, John Darnielle can better 95% of what is out there, whilst Molly Burch and Tara Jane O’Neil’s beautifully composed songs are at the other end of the pendulum’s swing. We also have some brilliant fuzzy, … Continue reading Nine Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

Not only did we have the return of Wooden Wand earlier, but Mac DeMarco has also announced his first full-length album since 2014’s Salad Days. Titled This Old Dog, he has shared two songs from it, the sweetly bucolic title track, and the jauntier, acoustic psych-pop of My Old Man. Both bode well for the new record, which he describes thus, “the majority of this album is acoustic guitar, synthesizer, some drum … Continue reading New Album From Mac DeMarco

New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce

Here is a quick selection of five excellent new videos that have caught our eye (and ears) recently. Jade Jackson creates a sound that is simultaneously new and old, merging a youthful spiritedness with a weary storyteller’s perspective usually reserved for veteran artists. Stylistically the sound is unapologetically country rock. It merges the heartbreak and resilience of Lucinda Williams with the melodic confidence of Emmylou Harris, yet … Continue reading New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce
