MM’s 5:1 Interview No 14: Coke Weed

Somehow we missed the release of Back To Soft this summer, the third long player from Bar Harbor’s Coke Weed. It follows the release of two outstanding albums in Nice Dreams and Volume One. But, if anything, this one is even better – a woozy, narcoleptic trip through the realms of psychedelia, indie rock and hazy Americana. Reference points range from classic Velvets style underground to … Continue reading MM’s 5:1 Interview No 14: Coke Weed

New Single From Screaming Females

The ever wonderful Screaming Females are back with Ancient Civilization, from their split 7″ with Wisconsin’s Tenement, out now on Recess Records. Setting off like a Ennio Morricone bad acid trip, the track bursts into bleakly nihilistic life about 30 seconds in and then carries you through another five minutes of savage, uncompromising brittle punk rock. Marvellous. Buy it from the label here, and pick … Continue reading New Single From Screaming Females
