Sexy Cowboy, the alluring single (taken from the debut album Forever released later this year) showcases Jonny Debt’s unique and honest vocal style and his classic poetic approach reminiscent of the 1960s psychedelic era of songwriting. He pairs vocal hooks with erotic guitars in a way that has shades of Leonard Cohen and Van Morrison. Have a listen. Continue reading MM Shorts 877: Jonny Debt

Hot on the heels of The Lovely Eggs new single we also have a new track from kaleidoscopic Swedish psych-explorers Goat. Union of Mind and Soul sees the band continue the catchy but stripped down, unplugged approach that was heard on I Sing in Silence.

Delighted to have a new single to share from the down-to-earth, but utterly psychotic duo The Lovely Eggs. Sick of hearing people crowing about how many drugs they’ve done on a night out or at a festival, their retort is a big fuck-you to the pricks with a typically surreal insight into their crazy world.

I know we’re late to it and I don’t quite know how we missed it, but Fat White Family’s single Breaking Into Aldi is a brilliantly sleazy slice of anarchic indie that manages to be both depraved and deprived. And all at the same time! It is their first new material since their second album Songs For Our Mothers, and the single is backed by … Continue reading Fat White Family’s New Single
