Chappaqua Wrestling – Football

For Brighton’s Chappaqua Wrestling, the arrival of new single Football is the product of both embracing change, and an unfortunately enforced break from touring. The band’s hiatus gleefully allowing them to side-step some of the nostalgic sounds of recent singles Plant Trees, Is She Happy Turning On Her Side? and Early, and instead leaning into a world of big-hearted, world-weary, understated anthemia. A thick, sprawling, … Continue reading Chappaqua Wrestling – Football

All Them Witches – The Children of Coyote Woman

It is the latest track shared from upcoming long player Nothing as the Ideal, and is a guaranteed headphone trip. Illegal substances optional as always. Enjoy.

Immigrant Union – Judas

We first posted about Melbourne’s Immigrant Union back in 2013 or so, and to be honest they had kind of slipped off our radar somewhat. By happy chance, we came across new album Judas and very quickly got ourselves reacquainted with their heady brew of country-psych, garage rock and power pop. It is an excellent album. I mean a properly excellent album, full of twangy … Continue reading Immigrant Union – Judas

Golf Alpha Bravo – Comet Loop

We’re loving Golf Alpha Bravo’s (aka Gab Winterfield of Jagwar Ma) debut solo album The Sundog LP. Here is another track from it – some mellow psych-surf rock in the shape of Comet Loop, a sun-bleached hazy gem that bounces along on the back of a sweet 70s soul groove. Continue reading Golf Alpha Bravo – Comet Loop

More From Venus Furs

Following the excellent seven minute plus epic of garage-psych glory that was Page Before, here’s another from Venus Furs, the moniker of Montreal’s Paul Kasner. Beginning with a heavy guitar riff Paranoia carries a tenacity that matches the song’s theme. A powerful exploration of mental illness examining the isolation and pain brought on from depression and anxiety. Catch the video below. The self-titled LP will … Continue reading More From Venus Furs

Mossy Kilcher – Coyote’s Cry

Mossy Kilcher’s 1977 Private Press Double-LP Northwind Calling will get a digital re-release on the 10th July via Tompkins Square. Originally recorded for family and friends, the record is a love letter to the land outside Homer in Alaska, where her family lived as pioneers beginning in the late 1930’s and where she still resides to this day. It is a gorgeous folk record. The gentle … Continue reading Mossy Kilcher – Coyote’s Cry

Blitzen Trapper – Masonic Temple Microdose #1

Blitzen Trapper open their arms and embrace the world of psychedelic, cosmic Americana with new single Masonic Temple Microdose #1, a jaunty, twangy country bop that belies its lyrical message of American apathy and nihilism. Watch the video, and pre-order new album Holy Smokes Future Jokes from Bandcamp here. Continue reading Blitzen Trapper – Masonic Temple Microdose #1

All Them Witches Share Saturnine & Iron Jaw

All Them Witches will return with a new album, their first as a trio, called Nothing as the Ideal on September 4th. The record is their most experimental work to date. It’s also their heaviest album and we’re very much liking the sound of lead track Saturnine & Iron Jaw, a near seven minute slow, bluesy burn that takes off from a looping, chiming intro and … Continue reading All Them Witches Share Saturnine & Iron Jaw
