Mad Mackerel Recommends… Spectator

Loving these two tracks from Spectator. The band consists of wife and husband duo, Megan Rooney and Jeffrey Albert, who first met in 2006 in Saint Louis, Missouri. After years of playing each other’s songs, they began to cultivate their individual ideas that naturally blended together to form Spectator. Apparently the duo draws comparisons to the dream-pop sensibilities of Mazzy Star and early Tennis, which … Continue reading Mad Mackerel Recommends… Spectator

New Single From LIFE

Discovering LIFE at Truck Festival back in 2017 was one of our festival highlights, so much so we went straight out and bought a vinyl copy of their excellent debut long player Popular Music.

A.A. Bondy – Killers 3

We’re very much looking forward to getting our grubby mitts on A.A. Bondy’s new album Enderness – his first for eight long years. We’ve already shared Images of Love from it, and here’s a second track from the record. Killers 3 is a melancholy, hymn-like song that we have found ourselves coming back to time and time again today.

Fat White Family – Tastes Good With The Money

Here is a second taste from the Fat White Family’s upcoming album Serfs Up! Tastes Good With The Money is built on the back of a scuzzy slow burn of a glam rock riff, absurd lyrics that drop with sordid innuendo and a vocal cameo from Baxter Dury. Throw in a surreal Monty Python inspired video and you’ve got all the ingredients for another irresistible, … Continue reading Fat White Family – Tastes Good With The Money
