New Single From The Deadline Shakes

Phonecalls In The Bath is the new single from Deadline Shakes, out on the 28th June via Flowers In The Dustbin records. It starts as sweetly yearning, meandering indie-folk before shaking off the shackles half way through and galloping into country-tinged power-pop territory with infectious harmonies that nod to Phil Spector and the Beach Boys. Pretty sure you won’t hear anything more charming or smarter today…Pre-order via Bandcamp here. … Continue reading New Single From The Deadline Shakes

MM Shorts 709: Night Dials

Night Dials manage to take squalid, sexy pyschedelia and combine it with rock and garage to create a heady stew of primitive beats and pop hooks, all infused with the tripped out vibrations of the 60s West Coast scene. They will shortly release a new double A Side Single I’ve Done More Things and I’ll Sleep When I Die. Give it a spin. . Continue reading MM Shorts 709: Night Dials

Time for a collection of some of the great videos and songs we’ve had through lately. They range from the Cheatah’s excellent Murasaki video and Heater’s brilliant Mean Green through to the raw, fizzing noise rock of Reporters’ stripped back video by way of the tripped out campfire haze of Zuli’s Better All The Time. . . . . . . .

New Video: Courtney Barnett – Dead Fox

Courtney Barnett’s new single is Dead Fox, ostensibly one of the brightest and poppiest tracks on her brilliant recent long player Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit, but also one of the most politically weighted.

MM Shorts 707: Meredith Graves

Meredith Graves, formidable front-woman of Perfect Pussy, has released Took The Ghost To The Movies, her first ever song as a solo artist. It will be released as a split single with Kevin Devine. Sonically and emotionally powerful, the song lets beautifully crafted words ring quietly behind a noisy, anxious pulse and reveals a surprisingly intimate side filled with echoing, heart-heavy vocals. The single is out … Continue reading MM Shorts 707: Meredith Graves

New Beach Baby Single

We were big fans of four-piece Beach Baby’s debut single Blackbird and the band have now announced a new single, No Mind No Money, which will be released on June 22nd. The new track is an atmospheric blend of summery, 60s-inspired American pop with the altogether moodier, alternative British new wave movement, driven by languid, harmonic shared lead-vocals. Give it a spin. . Catch them live: May … Continue reading New Beach Baby Single
