It’s been a little while since we’ve had a Videos of the Day post, so we’re putting that right with some excellent musical films and tunes from Those Darlins, Eliza And The Bear, We Are Hex, and Suburban Living. . . . . .

Physical Emotions is the strutting, stuttering first single from Black Banana’s forthcoming long player Electric Brick Wall, which is out on the 24th June on Drag City. The 7″ will be out on the 22nd April. Listen here. . Continue reading New From Black Bananas
Constellations is the title track from the new Moulettes album scheduled for early June. Sessions for the album saw the likes of Herbie Flowers (Lou Reed, David Bowie), Arthur Brown (God of Hellfire), Emma Richardson (Band of Skulls), Blaine Harrison (Mystery Jets) and The Unthanks join the band in the studio. The results are (without getting too cliched), predictably unpredictable and Constellations is a jittery, skittering blend … Continue reading The Moulettes – Constellations
Here is a first taste from the forthcoming Clear Lake Forest EP from The Black Angels. It features seven new songs and will be released on limited edition clear vinyl on Record Store Day (19th April). Diamond Eyes is an hypnotic, insistent, peyote-fuelled crawl through a parched sonic landscape – the simple fact is these boys do this stuff better than just about everybody else … Continue reading The Black Angels – Diamond Eyes

It is a pleasure to welcome back the twisted, noir-pop of the Shamefaced Sparrows. The marvellously titled Music For The Thick is a new song that channels the spirit of the Cramps through ominous death-march percussion, macabre lyrics and werewolf style howls. Imagine cruising a 50’s beach boardwalk unstoppably headed towards the end of the world, and accompanied by the Addams Family… Stream it here. … Continue reading The Shamefaced Sparrows – Music For The Thick
Tele Novella craft charming, mellow indie psych-pop out of Austin, TX with members of Voxtrot and Agent Ribbons. Sturdy melodies and thoughtful lyrics lay the pavement in these songs, but it’s the subtle vocal harmonies embroidered throughout each piece that really catch your ear. Their Trouble In Paradise 7″ follows quickly on the heels of their much loved debut 7″, Don’t Be A Stranger. Pre-order … Continue reading MM Shorts 535: Tele Novella
Devitalize is the first single to come from Chain & The Gang’s new long player Minimum Rock N Roll, which sees a release via Fortuna POP! on the 14th April. It is an appropriate album title, as the band gleefully appropriate rock n roll, blues, gospel, and those classic vocal quartets from the late 50s /early 60s and turn it into something minimal and ferocious. The single is a scuzzy … Continue reading Chain & The Gang – Devitalize
We recently posted Colleens’ video for About You, the heavy-lidded opening track from their new full-length Wild Dreams. Now we have a couple more tracks for your listening pleasure, the eerie, nightmarish lullaby of No Flowers and by way of contrast, the upbeat, pop-rock of Sun Before I Set. Both are excellent examples of their lush, psych-tinged Americana that marries classic songwriting with some experimental flourishes. You … Continue reading Colleens – Wild Dreams
