MM Shorts 856: Three Dimensional Tanx

Ahead of the release of their new album Attack, psych stalwarts Three Dimensional Tanx return with an immediately infectious single Son of Go. At just 1 minute 52 seconds long, not a second is wasted in this energetic statement of intent. A driving beat, intricate organ line, huge guitars and a commanding vocal combine to create a brilliantly memorable and accessible psych-punk track. Get your groove on… … Continue reading MM Shorts 856: Three Dimensional Tanx

The Cult Of Dom Keller – Shambhala Is On Fire

I have only just got my hearing back after seeing The Cult Of Dom Keller shred the room at The Great Escape – just in time in fact for their new single Shambhala Is On Fire! It is a scorching slab of experimental goth-tinged psych that fans of Swans and The Icarus Line will find plenty to entertain themselves with here, but (whisper it quietly) so too will all those … Continue reading The Cult Of Dom Keller – Shambhala Is On Fire

WTF!

Today is a sad day. A day I am sad to say I feel embarrassed to be “English”. A day I feel impotent rage at the Tory party’s supreme arrogance that constant austerity measures and cuts after cuts after cuts aimed at the poorest and the weakest wouldn’t leave people feeling ever more disenfranchised and disconnected from the world. A day I feel impotent rage … Continue reading WTF!

NOTS Announce New Album

NOTS were one of the best bands I saw at The Great Escape – berating a half-full room of slightly hungover festival goers early in the afternoon with a short, pulsating set of brilliantly fierce and raw punk rock that somehow blended the Ramones with Television and Sonic Youth and then added a dash of Hawkwind. Their second album will be with us via the … Continue reading NOTS Announce New Album

New Video: Allah-Lahs – Famous Phone Figure

Long standing MM faves, L.A. based Allah-Las will be releasing their new album Calico Review on September 9 via Mexican Summer. The band has also shared a video for the first single Famous Phone Figure. The track cradles character sketches over delicate strains of viola, organ, and Mellotron. Drummer Matthew Correia carefully underlining a three-note theme that casts a phantom sadness over the proceedings, as bassist Spencer … Continue reading New Video: Allah-Lahs – Famous Phone Figure

New Videos From Psychic Heat And Night Flowers

Here are a couple of excellent new videos. The first by indie-pop quintet Night Flowers who have announced a new single, Glow in the Dark, due out on Dirty Bingo Records on 15th July. Filmed during their recent Japanese tour, the video was primarily shot in three continuous takes at 3am in Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya district – the result is a hazy, vibrant waking Tokyo dream.

Introducing >>> Walter

Staying true to the interwoven nature of the current Los Angeles music scene, Walter is a psych-rock group sewn together from different projects (Meatbodies, SadGirl, Ducktails) bent on staking its own claim on the music that their city is so well known for. The trio utilizes the stripped down format of guitar/bass/drums to blend Southern California heaviness with quieter, more subtle moments serving up its own unique flavor … Continue reading Introducing >>> Walter
