Martian Subculture – All Emotions Are Equal

Ireland’s Martian Subculture creates leftfield, lo-fi psych rock. An eerie, restrained vocal is surrounded by kooky, comatose guitars on tracks that oscillate between themes of love, loneliness and interplanetary exploration.

His everyday reality does not jibe with what is going … Continue reading WIVES – Hit Me Up
