Eleven Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

After last week’s bonanza of new tunes, we’re back with eleven more tracks gathered up from the past seven days. No reduction in quality either with another (and the best yet) taste from Laura Marling’s new record Semper Femina, a brand new instrumental track from pastoral psych rockers Allah Las and another ominous slice of brooding Americana from Timber Timbre. We also have new singles from … Continue reading Eleven Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

Fourteen Songs You Should Have Heard This Week (Part 1)

So many good new tunes released this week – fourteen and counting – that we’ve had to split them into two posts. Here are the first seven including a brilliant new single from the UK’s new saviour of indie guitar rock, Cabbage. Like a cross between Fat White Family, The Fall, and the Amazing Snakeheads. We have the new single from Samantha Crain’s upcoming album … Continue reading Fourteen Songs You Should Have Heard This Week (Part 1)

Meat Wave – New Track & UK Tour

We are eagerly anticipating Chicago trio Meat Wave’s forthcoming album The Incessant out on 17th February on Big Scary Monsters here in the UK and EU, and via Side One Dummy in the States. We posted the title track  recently and Incessant was brilliant, but the rollicking, self-referential Bad Man, might be even better – one of the most cathartic, bile-ridden songs in a catalogue littered with … Continue reading Meat Wave – New Track & UK Tour

Nine Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

Nine songs for your listening pleasure gathered from the week’s new releases. We have Mountain Goats showing that even with a throwaway song, composed off the back of a jokey Twitter conversation, John Darnielle can better 95% of what is out there, whilst Molly Burch and Tara Jane O’Neil’s beautifully composed songs are at the other end of the pendulum’s swing. We also have some brilliant fuzzy, … Continue reading Nine Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce

Here is a quick selection of five excellent new videos that have caught our eye (and ears) recently. Jade Jackson creates a sound that is simultaneously new and old, merging a youthful spiritedness with a weary storyteller’s perspective usually reserved for veteran artists. Stylistically the sound is unapologetically country rock. It merges the heartbreak and resilience of Lucinda Williams with the melodic confidence of Emmylou Harris, yet … Continue reading New Videos: Jade Jackson, IDLES, Singapore Sling, Baked & Garrett Pierce
