MM Shorts 355: Hooded Fang’s Graves

We’re loving this, the first taste from Hooded Fang’s forthcoming album Gravez. Graves is the ultra catchy, fuzzy album opener, “So many faces and they’re all the same… why you lookin’ at me?”, it is a perfect mix of paranoid tripped out psych-pop and garage rock. Gravez is out 27th May (UK) / 28th May (USA) on Full Time Hobby. Continue reading MM Shorts 355: Hooded Fang’s Graves

So it is with Angela Perley’s nostalgic and high-energy music, which tells stories of love, death, railroads, and everything in-between.
