MM’s 5:1 Interview No. 15: Young Knives

A month ago, Young Knives released their fourth album proper (and fifth if you count debut mini-album The Young Knives …Are Dead) entitled Sick Octave. Funded by a Kickstarter campaign, it is a typically wilful and exhilarating sharp left turn from the band following the bright indie pop of Ornaments From The Silver Arcade, encompassing jagged industrial beats, ferocious krautrock, the occasional sneering brit-pop pastiche, and … Continue reading MM’s 5:1 Interview No. 15: Young Knives

The Welcome Return Of Withered Hand

Black Tambourine is the first single from unique singer-songwriter Withered Hand’s album New Gods, which comes a mere five years or so since he recorded his outstanding debut Good News. The single features the assistance of Black Tambourine’s own Pam Berry on vocals and Eugene Kelly of the Vaselines on guitar, and the result is a more uptempo, fuller excursion into classic indie-rock territory, but still with his … Continue reading The Welcome Return Of Withered Hand

Sugar Lime Blue – Move That Earth

Move That Earth is the first single from the upcoming sophomore album by Sugar Lime Blue tentatively titled When Bullets Fail. It is a top notch taste of twangy, yet soulful country rock that is reminiscent of classic Steve Earle, but also draws as much inspiration and feeling from Al Green as it does from Little Feat. Have a listen. . Continue reading Sugar Lime Blue – Move That Earth

MM Shorts 484: Jeff Finlin

Ohio comes from Jeff Finlin’s most recent album My Moby Dick, which has been out awhile, but which we’ve only just discovered. It is classic singer-songwriter Americana,  ranging from rough country to swampy blues and laced with a touch of darkness, a touch of romance, a hint of menace, and plenty of alcohol, death, and sorrow. Well worth checking out… Continue reading MM Shorts 484: Jeff Finlin

Bitch Prefect – Bird Nerds

Brilliant band name and not a bad album title either. Bitch Prefect’s new long player Bird Nerds is out now (order via Bedroom Suck Records), and delivers a wonderfully skewed and idiosyncratic exploration of indie rock and pop. There are jangly detours into psychedelia, ramshackle rock and plenty more besides, with touch points ranging from the pastoral ramblings of Woods to the forceful repition of … Continue reading Bitch Prefect – Bird Nerds
