On the 7th April, Timber Timbre will release their new album Sincerely, Future Pollution. The first single, Sewer Blues, is an ironclad groove marked by plodding, heavy rhythm, cavernous delay, and a backdrop of starry synthesizers. Taylor Kirk’s nearly spoken words seem to emit from the underbelly of urban decay, carried on the ominous air of these troubled days. It’s powerful stuff – watch / … Continue reading New Album From Timber Timbre
The Mites play the kind of girl-fronted alternative rock that seamlessly blends power pop, lo-fi, and elements of shoegaze into muscular slabs of pop perfection that harken back to the golden years of MTV. Their new EP, Asphalt Ocean, takes the band’s tried-and-true marriage of pop melodies and heavy guitars and puts them on full display on the title track, while the B-side Brianna blends the … Continue reading MM Shorts 908: The Mites
The experimental, ghostly, haunting and sometimes-countryish croon of singer-songwriter Daughn Gibson has been a regular on MM in more recent times, yet somehow we totally missed this Bandcamp release of a new EP, titled Vas 1. It came out back in October apparently and is four songs about friendship. Listen to 31, ’16 in which a young boy confesses love to the ghost of his dead babysitter. Continue reading Daughn Gibson – Vas 1 EP

Here is another (excellent) taste of Tobin Sprout’s upcoming sixth solo album The Universe And Me (out via Burger Records next month). A Walk Across The Human Bridge is two and a half heavy-hitting minutes of shredding guitars and lyrics describing the decline of humanity. Stream it below and play it loud. Tobin Sprout Continue reading Another From Tobin Sprout
Countryside from Charlotte, North Carolina psych-rockers Shadowgraphs expertly weaves 60s flower-power with swirling organs to create a nostalgic headrush of hazy escapism. Imagine The Doors and the Beach Boys colliding with Tame Impala and the Allah Las. Stream it below. It comes from their debut album Venomous Blossoms, out on the 7th April. Continue reading MM Shorts 907: Shadowgraphs
Calling Oakland, California foursome RAYS a “supergroup” might be misleading, but not entirely inaccurate; comprised as they are of four Bay-area music veterans; Stanley Martinez, Eva Hannan, Troy Hewitt & Alexa Pantalone whose current and past musical projects include local bands-of-note like The World, Life Stinks, Violent Change, and Dadfag. On their debut album the band spins eleven tunes of wiry, urgent post-punk, one foot … Continue reading Introducing >>> RAYS

Listen to the effervescently infectious track Teasing’, a perfectly judged track of punk immediacy shot through with a classic pop sensibility. Continue reading MM Shorts 906: Hiccup
