On the 27th October, The Hanging Stars will release the first single from their forthcoming second album Songs From Somewhere Else. Taking their cues from both sides of the Atlantic – from the dying embers of the early 70s psychedelic folk and cosmic country scenes – Honeywater opens with a mesmerising steel guitar riff, which drifts into a shimmering melody framed by singer and guitarist Richard Olson’s honeyed … Continue reading New Single From The Hanging Stars

There is a touch of the Ty Segall/Thee Oh Sees thickness to their riffs, some of The Wytches’ foreboding gloom and a (un)healthy dose of The … Continue reading MM Shorts 972: Black Pudding
The debut album from Portland witch-folk duo Lenore. is out now. The album has a lush sound that contrasts with the stark intimacy of the lyrics, and the open-gazed sense of place that comes from the beautiful sweeping vistas of the Pacific Northwest.
