Elephant Stone – Devil’s Shelter

We have a new single from Montreal’s top notch psych-rockers Elephant Stone. Featuring guest vocals by their good friend Alex Maas of The Black Angels, The Devil’s Shelter begins with a low frequency, cycling, bass rhythm that wouldn’t sound out of place coming from Kill All Hippies era Primal Scream. The track is peppered with the band’s trademark sitar throughout, creating that wonderful mix of eastern … Continue reading Elephant Stone – Devil’s Shelter

MM Shorts 786: Singapore Sling

One of the founding fathers of neo-psych back in 2000, Singapore Sling, are back with a new album, the appropriately named Psych Fuck out (just as appropriately) on Friday 13th November. Their seventh album, it is a dark and noisy exploration of rock ‘n’ roll that would make a fitting soundtrack for James Dean’s death car – bouncy go-go rhythms are overlaid with dark and noisy shoegaze … Continue reading MM Shorts 786: Singapore Sling
