Cloud Nothings have shared another taste from their forthcoming album Life Without Sound which is out in January. Internal World might be one of our favourite tracks of theirs to date – an instant classic in the Dylan Baldi canon, packing an EPs worth of earworms into less than 4 minutes. It is a lullaby-like howler that dwells on “the fact that being yourself can be uncomfortable and … Continue reading Cloud Nothings – Internal World
Happyness will release the successor to 2014’s excellent long player Weird Little Birthday next Spring and they have shared the first taste of what the album will sound like in the form of new single Falling Down. It has echoes of early Fleetwood Mac, a touch of Interpol perhaps, even a synth outdo, but essentially it remains as resolutely and defiantly true to their laid-back melancholia as always. … Continue reading Happyness Share Falling Down
On their debut single psychedelic travellers Shadow Band sound more like a foggy dream of fantastical lands than any easily identifiable set of musical choices. Their patient but powerful sounds conjure up images of medieval battles, blissed-out trips and the haze of a sleep-deprived commune of heads in a state of perpetual vibing. On Eagle Unseen, Shadow Band bare their teeth and growl. A self-made world … Continue reading Introducing >>> Shadow Band

Seattle R&B/garage-rock trio Night Beats have shared another track from their recent Fuzz Club Session, a brilliant white-knuckle cover of Bo Diddley’s blues classic Mama, Keep Your Big Mouth Shut. The Fuzz Club Sessions are a new series from the London label, the idea is to take the best names in rock and roll, bring them to a studio to lay down some tracks, recorded live … Continue reading Night Beats Cover Bo Diddley
Here are nine tunes that may hopefully bring at least a glimmer of light in a bad, bad week. New releases from King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Little Barrie, Shy Girls and Luxury Death, a cover from Of Montreal and some anti-Trump sentiment from Black Lips and Charly Bliss. Jamie T has released a video for our favourite song from his latest album and … Continue reading Nine Songs You Should Have Heard This Week
So the full horror of yesterday hasn’t sunk in yet. I thought Brexit was bad enough… In these pretty miserable times here is a topical ditty from Dale Barclay’s new band And Yet It Moves. Continue reading After Yesterday… More From And Yet It Moves
Tobin Sprout, formerly of indie rock icons Guided by Voices, will release his sixth solo album The Universe and Me via Burger Records in February. The record was hatched during a seven-year gestation period that included unearthing lost recordings and digging through a treasure chest of memories in his home studio in Michigan, where he composed behind his shambling grand piano and trembling, boyish voice. First single is … Continue reading Tobin Sprout – Future Boy / Man Of Tomorrow
