The Hunting Party are an indie-folk band from New York. Their EP North was released in October. Reminiscent of smoky backwoods bars, it is a collection of songs of longing, nostalgia, and the uncertainty of both past and future.

We are thoroughly enjoying these tracks from Brooklyn’s droney psych rocker outfit Ancient Sky that both come from their new album All Get Out. The band eschews the more traditional, tripped out path of hazy psychedelia for something more serious, more intense, and more together! They do it exceedingly well too, and we’ve put All Get Out straight on to our wish list for when it comes … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends…Ancient Sky

Released a few days ago, Strangers is the new album by Baltimore band Eureka Birds. It hovers somewhere between cerebral indie pop and damaged art-rock, with echoes of orchestral space rock, Ariel Pink’s oddness and Yo La Tengo’s literacy. However, rather than being one big mess, the record is a surprisingly tight and coherent one, and one that reveals more of its many charms with each … Continue reading New Eureka Birds Album
To be honest we nearly didn’t listen to this, let alone post it due to the terrible band name, but despite the images of sickly cute doe-eyed fawns, the music is actually far more robust – their upcoming new single Reap From The Dying Love is filled with guitar riffs, reverbs, groovy beats and stunning vocals. With nods to Echo & The Bunnymen from yesteryear, … Continue reading MM Shorts 467: Bambi

At the time they were hoping to get a follow up to their self-released debut, Under The Whale out that side of Christmas, but it turns out it is only recently that Wild Movement has seen the light of day. Mixing indie rock with surf pop and a dash of … Continue reading Beach Arabs – Wild Movement
