The beauty when it comes to Cannibal Animal, is that they’re not afraid to break down walls with their twitchy, highly-addictive aggro-punk, and encourage the listener to go all Frozen and just…err, let it go. Stream it below. Continue reading MM Shorts 834: Cannibal Animal

While the motorik inspired rhythms and neo-psychedelia is still there, the shimmering glow of their previous material has developed into more structured, multifaceted, textured and slightly more aggressive songs. Have a listen to Sign … Continue reading Man Of Moon – Sign

Listen to the title track below, and … Continue reading Surly Gates – Lay Low
