Having shared a couple of tracks last month from Lady Bones’ upcoming long player of self-described ‘ugly pop’ titled Dying, we now have a third tune of skewed Americana and dissonant indie rock from it to share with you. Stay is a break up song, a discordant, unhappy break up song. A break up that is as bitter as it is painful. Share the pain … Continue reading Another From Lady Bones
Argentinian five piece Kill West will release debut long player Smoke Beach, digitally and via limited edition pink cassette (order here). It is eight tracks of prime psych-rock: fuzz drenched, distorted and reverb laden. It will dismantle your mind in ways you wouldn’t know possible and put you back together like Martini from One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. If you’re lucky… Stream Out To The … Continue reading MM Shorts 732: Kill West
London four-piece, Telegram will release new single Aeons on their own Gram Gram label on the 10th of July. Channelling their love of Roxy Music, Syd Barrett, krautrock and late proto-punk to great effect, we’ve already posted the A side here, and the flipside is the band’s unique take of Needles In The Camel’s Eye, from Brian Eno’s classic 1973 album Here Comes The Warm Jets. … Continue reading Telegram Cover Brian Eno
The presumably unGoogleable trio of Dog hail from rural Devon and deal in a lovely line of melancholic indie-pop songs. No better proof could you need than new single All Dressed Up Not Dancing that brings a new definition to exqusite misery. Listen below, and order one of the strictly limited edition hand cut records from the wonderful Hardly Art Records here. . Continue reading MM Shorts 731: Dog
First formed in 2010, Birmingham’s The Castillians long awaited second album You & Me, will be released on vinyl and digital in late October. The album takes a slightly more soulful direction than much loved (and recently re-released) incendiary debut Show Your Teeth that fused garage, punk and psych rock into one perfectly unholy whole, but keeps up with the energy and hooks. Check out the blistering title track … Continue reading The Castillians – You & Me
Taking their name from the short-lived 1959-60 TV private detective series, Bourbon Street Beat are (as you’d might expect) inspired by 50s and 60s bands such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Band, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, as well as rock’n’roll legends like Elvis, Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash. Each of these influences are apparent in technique and style, yet cleverly and confidently reinterpreted to … Continue reading Introducing >>> Bourbon Street Beat
Brisbane’s Bottlecock are a trio that deal in the scuzzier end of the musical spectrum releasing a long player at the end of 2014 simply called Record that mixed noisy short sharp punk shocks with slow-burning epic sludgey grunge. One of the stand out tracks from that record was the marvellously monikered Girt By Dickheads, which is now seeing a single release and takes infectious pop … Continue reading Introducing >>> Bottlecock
Ohioan have featured sporadically on MM over the years, their brand of desert baked experimental Americana sitting somewhere between Giant Sand, Tinariwen and the expansive grandeur of Other Lives. They will release a new album titled EMPTY / EVERY MT in early 2016 and you can stream / download the epic almost-seven minutes of Pissing At Will, the first taste (if that’s the appropriate expression) from it… Continue reading MM Shorts 730: Ohioan
Heaters will release their debut LP, Holy Water Pool, on 25th September via Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records. It is fair to say it is one of our most anticipated releases of the autumn, and comes as a follow-up to a handful of self-released EPs and the band’s recent Mean Green 7″(one of our favourite tracks of the year so far). It features more of the trio’s … Continue reading Heaters – Holy Water Pool
