Round Up Time
Posted: March 3, 2014 in Alternative, Americana, Country, Folk, Garage, Indie, Music, Pop, Punk, Rock, SoulTags: Broncho, Dawn Landes, Fear Of Men, Greyhounds, Jason Molina, Kurt Vile, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper, Peggy Sue, Sarah Jaffe, TURCHI, Twin Berlin, Weed
Following our Best of February mix post earlier, we have now rounded up a few tunes for the start of March for you too.
We can offer you ten cracking new tracks to listen to including post-folkies Peggy Sue, the heavy, slow burnin’ garage punk of Twin Berlin, some rootsy soul from Greyhounds, the first single of gritty Americana from Turchi’s forthcoming long-player, and a fabulous cover of Jason Molina’s Alone With The Owl by Sarah Jaffe from the forthcoming Molina tribute album Farewell Transmission.
There is also Fear Of Men’s excellent new single Luna, Dawn Landes’ heart-wrenching new single Try To Make A Fire Burn Again, some shoegazing style sludgy indie from Weed, and catchy pop-punk from BRONCHO. Lastly, we have another cover to finish, Lady Lamb The Beekeeper’s version of Kurt Vile’s Girl Called Alex.

Peggy Sue’s new album Choir Of Echoes will be out in January on Yep Roc Records.
We were big fans of their previous release of noirish folk Acrobats and of the new record, the band says “Choir of Echoes is an album about singing. About losing your voice and finding it again. Voices keeping each other company and voices competing for space. The call and response of the kindest and the cruelest words. Choruses. Duets. Whispers and shouts.”
The first taste comes in the form of the outstanding Idle, described as a kind of troubled gospel song.

Posted: September 1, 2011 in Alternative, Blues, Country, Electronic, Folk, Garage, Indie, Music, Pop, Psychedelic, Punk, Rock, RockabillyTags: Amen Dunes, Atlas Sound, Barr Brothers, Beak>, Beirut, Big Tree, Blessed Feathers, Blitzen Trapper, Cabin Dogs, Colossal Gospel, Deer Tick, Ducktails, Forest Fire, Fresh And Onlys, Ganglians, Guadalupe Plata, Howling Owls, Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt, Little Gold, Luke Temple, Male Bonding, Oberhofer, Peggy Sue, Sick Figures, Something Men, Spectrals, The Coasts, The Ettes, The Witch And The Robot, Waters, Wavves, Woodsman, WoolfCubb, Youngfuck
Our usual round up of the very best of our August posts and some new tracks too. Dip in – every one a winner as they say.
Download The Cabin Dogs – High Falls mp3 (from Midnight Trail)
Invites you to kick off your boots, pour a stiff one and sit on the porch to watch the sun go down – a song for when you’re busy doing nothing as they say.
Download Spectrals – Big Baby mp3 (from Big Baby 7″)
Spritely and upbeat that melds 60s girl group fizz with Elvis Costello in an entirely good way.
Download Waters – O Holy Break Of Day mp3 (from Out In The Light)
Delicate and almost hymn-like indie rock with a sparse, raw feel.
Download Male Bonding – Tame The Sun mp3 (from Endless Now)
Excellent slice of punky power pop.
Download Forest Fire – Future Shadows mp3 (from Staring At The X)
First taster from specialists in weirded out country folk and blues doesn’t disappoint.
Download The Coasts – Handshakers mp3 (from The Coasts)
Quirky anthem that’s equal parts gritty rockabilly and punching pop.
Download Peggy Sue – Cut My Teeth mp3 (from Acrobats)
A six minute, slow brooding burn with a heavier, more viscous feel than previously.
Download Howling Owls featuring WoolfCubb – Spirits To Lift My Spirits mp3 (from Purple On Purple EP)
MM faves return with slightly more upbeat track. And we stress the slightly…
Download Blitzen Trapper – Love The Way You Walk Away mp3 (from American Goldwing)
Another top-notch slice of loose, countrified rock.
Download Beirut – The Rip Tide mp3 (from The Rip Tide)
Superb title track from new album.
Download Ganglians – Drop The Act mp3 (from Still Living)
Smoother than usual garage-psych.
Download Little Gold – Sisters & Friends mp3 (from Weird Freedom)
Easy-breezy basslines, washed-out harmonies, and powerfully mellow drumming.
Download Amen Dunes – Bedroom Drum mp3 (from Through Donkey Jaw)
Another taste of the ominous, malevolent, unique folk stylings from new album.
Download The Ettes – The Pendulum mp3 (from Wicked Will)
Beat-punk and garage sleaze with a healthy dose back porch blues swagger and fuzzed up reverb.
Download Sick Figures – Graveyard Swagger mp3 (from Two Ghosts)
Raucous, saloonish type of rock and roll evoking a dark, eerie mood.
Download The Witch And The Robot – Houdini mp3 (from Fear Of Mountains)
Wonderful blend of peculiarly British pysch-pop and acid folk accompanied by appropriately surreal lyrics.
Download Deer Tick – Miss K. mp3 (from Divine Providence)
Classic slice of bluesy, bar-room Americana from forthcoming album.
Download Ducktails – Sit Around With Ya mp3 (from Killin The Vibe 12″)
Immerse yourself in a mellow hypnotic haze.
Download Luke Temple – Ophelia mp3 (from Don’t Act Like You Don’t Care)
Chugging twang, upbeat and cajun tinged.
Download The Fresh & Onlys – I Would Not Know The Devil mp3 (from I Would Not Know The Devil 7″)
A crackerjack of garage rumble, surf harmonies and guitar jangle.
Download Colossal Gospel – I Have A Heart, I Have A Heart mp3 (from Circles)
Sublime nine minutes of fragile folk beauty that reminded us of Lambchop at their best.
Download Guadalupe Plata – Pollo Podrio mp3 (from Guadalupe Plata)
Think of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion duelling with The Dirtbombs in the Castilla La Mancha…and, er, you’ll not even be close.
Download Beak> – Welcome To The Machine mp3 (from Wish You Were Here Again)
Rigid, pulsating version of Pink Floyd classic.
Download Hypocrite in a Hippy Crypt – The Town Crazies mp3 (from Tweaker In The Park)
Personal, whimsical sometimes, slyly sinister at others, lyrically sharp lo-fi folk.
Download Woodsman – In Circles mp3 (from Mystic Places EP)
Swirling, spacey guitars, reverb washes, tribal drum patterns, vocal delays and ominous repetition mix into a mesmerising, pulsating whole.
Download The Barr Brothers – Beggar In The Morning mp3 (from The Barr Brothers)
Folky, harmony filled and gorgeous.
Download Blessed Feathers – Stinging Nettle, Honeysuckle mp3 (from From The Mouths Of The Middle Class)
A bitterly beautiful reminder of winter’s immediacy in the Midwest.
Download Something Men – Birdy Roof mp3 (from Something Men 7″)
Effortlessly channeling early Velvets rumble and the simple, but effective chord sequences of the Kingsmen into a classic garage sound.
Download Wavves – I Wanna Meet Dave Grohl mp3 (from Life Sux EP)
More lo-fi, slacker punk goodness.
And to finish off we have new tracks for you too – a chaotic, hook ridden pop gem from Oberhofer, an unsettling six minutes of astral pop from Atlas Sound, attractive indie jangle from Sweden’s Youngfuck, and the infectious pulsing rhythms and quirky imagery of Big Tree.
Download Atlas Sound – Terra Incognita mp3 (from Parallax)
Download Oberhofer – Gotta Go mp3 (from Gotta Go)
Download Youngfuck – Black Tulips mp3 (from Youngfuck 7″)
Download Big Tree – This Fall mp3 (from This New Year)
Follow @madmackerelNew Album From Peggy Sue
Posted: August 9, 2011 in Blues, Country, Folk, Indie, Music, RockTags: Peggy Sue
We were big fans of Peggy Sue’s excellent debut long player Fossils And Other Phantoms, and recently had our appetites whetted for the forthcoming new album Acrobats on Marc Riley’s 6 Music show when he played out one evening with the six minute, slow brooding burn of Cut My Teeth. While the darkness of the first album clearly remains intact, this has a heavier, more viscous feel and we’re really rather taken with it.
Until now it has been available for the price of an e-mail on their website, but Spinner have made it available as an mp3 Of The Day, so we figured a deserved re-post should be OK.
Download the song. Buy the album when it comes out on September 12th via Wichita.
