Spooky Clams is a great title for a song. It is the first single off Hailer’s second LP Another Way – out next February through Laughing Outlaw & Inertia Records. It calls to mind The Fall in its relentless rhythm, while the reverb swirls and drifts around the (frankly clearer) vocals. Great title. Great song. Grab it here. a Continue reading MM Shorts 247: Hailer
To our minds, there isn’t a better label in the UK than Loose Music. They have a roster that reads like a MM wish list of bands: The Felice Brothers, Deer Tick, Dawes, Hurray For The Riff Raff, Jim White, Willard Grand Conspiracy and more. Their latest signing, once again demonstrating impeccable good taste, is Frontier Ruckus. Listen to Eyelashes and Black Holes, both taken from the … Continue reading Frontier Ruckus Sign To Loose Music

Spiders hail from the ever-fertile indie breeding grounds of Sheffield and their credentials are clearly well up to the mark having being taught music by Alex Turner’s (Arctic Monkeys) dad, and recording their EP at the world famous 2Fly Studios with Alan Smyth (Richard Hawley, Pulp, Reverend and the Makers). Their debut EP was released at the beginning of this month and we have the … Continue reading Introducing >>> Spiders
The sweet, fuzzed-up pysch-garage of Susannah is taken from Woollen Kits’ upcoming Four Girls LP, out via Trouble in Mind and RIP Society on 13th November. a Continue reading MM Shorts 245: New Single From Woollen Kits
Candela is the new full-length from Mice Parade, which will see a release early next year. It is a record that omniverously references source material from across the globe, and rebuilds it all into the distinctive, inimitable voice that Mice Parade has come to represent, and where there are plenty of heady moments of pop brilliance amongst abstract, restrained eloquence.
