Man Of Moon – Sign

We loved Man Of Moon’s debut single from last year, which went on to feature in our end of year Best of lists. Now they are releasing their debut EP titled Medicine. While the motorik inspired rhythms and neo-psychedelia is still there, the shimmering glow of their previous material has developed into more structured, multifaceted, textured and slightly more aggressive songs. Have a listen to Sign … Continue reading Man Of Moon – Sign

Chuck Prophet – Alex Nieto

From an e-mail from Chuck Prophet “A few days ago Kurt Lipschutz and I were in my shoebox-sized “office” space in SOMA toying with our Temple Beautiful musical and I was absently strumming my guitar.

Surly Gates – Lay Low

Austin’s Surly Gates offer up a most palatable mix of garage inspired psych-rock that sounds like it has been lying dormant waiting to be discovered since 1967.
