We’ve already shared three cracking tunes with you today, and now we have another in the shape of LA based indie rockers Western Scene’s Strange But True. It is their latest single, released via Grand Jury Music, and is a chugging, exhilarating earworm of a song that we’ve had on repeat for a while. It recalls something of the best of Lord Huron or Wilco, with its irresistible … Continue reading MM Shorts 992: Western Scene
We posted a track from Italian garage-psych trio Bee Bee Sea in our most recent New Year Round Up, and now we have another for you, and it is an absolute cracker. The marvellously titled This Dog Is The King Of Losers also comes from their upcoming long player Sonic Boomerang, and undoubtedly has the riff of the year so far! A perfect mix of the outrageously … Continue reading Another From Bee Bee Sea
With its blend of visceral punk, scratchy art-rock and needling guitars, we’re loving Is This Disco?, the debut single from the brilliantly monikered Hitlist Youth. Listen below. The single is out officially on the 16th March via Flowers In The Dustbin. Order here. Continue reading MM Shorts 991: Hitlist Youth
Halifax’s fast-rising The Orielles have announced details of the excellently titled Blue Suitcase (Disco Wrist), the latest track to be taken from their forthcoming debut album, Silver Dollar Moment which is released on the 16th February via Heavenly Recordings. Talking about the track, the band said: “Blue Suitcase is a track that was mostly written over the last few days of summer, inspired by events, discussions … Continue reading New Single From The Orielles
Dr. Dog have shared a new track Listening In, which appeared in our Soundcloud feed this afternoon. All we’ve been able to establish thus far is that it comes from their Critical Equation album, which will be available on the 27th April. We also know it is another fine example of their psych infused Americana, carried along on metronomic percussion and a typically plaintive and questioning … Continue reading New From Dr. Dog
Chicago’s Meat Wave are back in business with the bracing one-two of new single Shame and Dogs at Night, the trio’s first new material since last year’s acclaimed The Incessant LP which arrived in March and made our end-of-year best of lists. Both tracks were recorded during the Incessant sessions and continue to mine the more playful, dexterous elements that the record brought to the band’s sound, all … Continue reading New From Meat Wave
Another of our round-ups of songs we should have posted from the end of 2017. Restless was a stomping single from Brooklyn-based folk rocker Common Jack. It’s anthemic take on Americana draws favourable comparisons to Lumineers, Neil Young and The Avett Brothers. Swedish indie rockers Francobello shared Future Lover, which rises and falls, building to a crescendo of gorgeous harmonies and ferocious guitar runs. LA-based Space-Psych … Continue reading New Year Round Up (Part 4)

Though a Chicago native for nearly two decades now, Jodee Lewis was raised in Osceola – a town of 800 people in the Missouri Ozarks. Her childhood home was down a secluded dirt track, set amongst 190 acres of woodland, where days were spent running through the trees, building forts and secret hideouts. She grew up in a household where Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, Patsy … Continue reading MM Shorts 990: Jodee Lewis
