With foundations in Manchester, W. H. Lung is a three piece that have just shared a first single that is a quite spectacular, breathtaking near-eight minute epic. Inspiration! speaks to the ideas of eternity, belonging and meaninglessness, it takes the shape of a pulsing, kraut-psych journey. The motorik nature of the track stems from W. H. Lung’s writing ethic which, with an Alesis drum machine at its core, … Continue reading Introducing >>> W.H. Lung
Mind Rays have shared the furious lead single, Still & All, from their debut album Nerve Endings. On this evidence it is easy to see why the Belgian garage punk quartet have quickly emerged as one of the most exciting new garage acts in mainland Europe. The single is out now and the full-length will be arriving on March 24 via PNKSLM Recordings. Have a listen… … Continue reading MM Shorts 896: Mind Rays
Cloud Nothings have shared another taste from their forthcoming album Life Without Sound which is out in January. Internal World might be one of our favourite tracks of theirs to date – an instant classic in the Dylan Baldi canon, packing an EPs worth of earworms into less than 4 minutes. It is a lullaby-like howler that dwells on “the fact that being yourself can be uncomfortable and … Continue reading Cloud Nothings – Internal World
We’re loving this debut track from BAIT, which appears as part of the Alternative Occupations EP. Released on December 2nd via Cool Thing Records on limited edition 12” white vinyl, it also features new tracks by Asylums, The Horse Heads and Petty Phase. Over thrumming, post-punk percussion surreal lyrics about Keith Harris, melting milkmen and Timmy Mallet abound. Curiously during his Radio Oxford days in … Continue reading MM Shorts 895: BAIT
Happyness will release the successor to 2014’s excellent long player Weird Little Birthday next Spring and they have shared the first taste of what the album will sound like in the form of new single Falling Down. It has echoes of early Fleetwood Mac, a touch of Interpol perhaps, even a synth outdo, but essentially it remains as resolutely and defiantly true to their laid-back melancholia as always. … Continue reading Happyness Share Falling Down
On their debut single psychedelic travellers Shadow Band sound more like a foggy dream of fantastical lands than any easily identifiable set of musical choices. Their patient but powerful sounds conjure up images of medieval battles, blissed-out trips and the haze of a sleep-deprived commune of heads in a state of perpetual vibing. On Eagle Unseen, Shadow Band bare their teeth and growl. A self-made world … Continue reading Introducing >>> Shadow Band
Here are eight new songs to end the week, including two from the mighty Ty Segall – a track from his forthcoming self-titled album and a cover of a Harry Nilsson track that was released as a split seven inch with Loch Lomond. We also have an appropriately apocalyptic track (in every sense) from POND, a re-worked version of an album track from Fear Of … Continue reading Eight Songs You Should Have Heard This Week

Hardly Art’s first release of 2017 will be Seattle based trio Dude York’s Sincerely. The record kicks off with the massive opening chords of Black Jack, a squealing track that blends the swagger of glam with the heavy riffing and ringing hooks of arena rock. Listen below. Pre-order here. Continue reading MM Shorts 894: Dude York
