  • Stream: Moulettes – Behemooth

    In this month of May, 2016, when the air pollution of Mexico City clashes with daily doses of heavy rain, tempers flare and cool at the drop of the dime. Moulettes might not live here, but ‘Behemooth’ captures the chaos of a megalopolis like Mexico City. A mix of Moulettes‘ ace folk with a fierce grasp on prog,…

  • Video: Vyctoria – IV

    A walk through a forest can be terrifying. A walk through a forest can also be a healthy way to achieve mindfulness. Heck, a walk through the forest can be just that: a gallivanting ramble through nature. A walk through forest can be anything you want it to be, depending on your state of mind.…

  • Video: Firesuite – Harbour

    Fresh off the oven, we’re stoked about Firesuite‘s brand new album, Outlive your body. We’ve featured a two songs before, ‘Deadbeat‘ and ‘Edge of the Earth‘ and now we have the video for ‘Harbour’ for your viewing pleasure. A mix of stargaze and rock, ‘Harbour’ features the mix of intimacy and full-blown emotions that Firesuite weave with deft hands. A…

  • Premiere: Moving Panoramas – Radar.

    The amazing Austin trio, Moving Panoramas, return with another video, this time around for the mesmerising ‘Radar’. One of the more introspective songs from One, (our review) ‘Radar’ re-visits those wistful moments when yearning takes over your mind. Reality blurs aways, trascending into a hazy territory, full of wonder and dread. Just like swimming into unknown waters, whether…

  • Stream: Tom Baxendale – All my nightmares

      After an extensive tour of duty with The Payroll Union and a blitzkrieg with The Rainy Day Club, Tom Baxendale decides to duke it out by himself, with a new album. In the city a short time ago, out September on Backwater Collective, finds Baxendale exploring human conflict, both in its substantial and emotional forms. Harking to the classic organ heavy sounds of 60s pop,…

  • Stream: Seize The Chair – Secret Sister

      Long time coming, but the fine people of Seize The Chair have a brand new song and we’re over the moon about this. ‘Secret Sister’ reaffirms Seize The Chair‘s place in the vivacious scale. Akin to a hyperactive Tasmanian devil, the band’s penchant for energetic statements clearly shines through, piercing through walls. Matthew Johnson masterfully catches what it feels…

  • Review: The Fervor – Nightfall in the Kali Yuga

    After a five year period of radio silence (barring a re-release), The Fervor are back with a three track EP of Americana goodness. Nightfall in the Kali Yuga is a quick drive through the blue tinted fields, a static buzz far in the distance, signalling a change. And that change comes in the shape of an EP. ‘Sweet Thing’,…

  • Stream: Stove – Stupidest

      Once the Rhodes Colossus that was Ovlov collapsed into the sea, news that Steve Hartlett had enough material for another album were well known. He Stove as the name for this new chapter in his life and Is Stupider was the name of the album. It was a great ride in and out Hartlett’s mind. And we were…

  • Review: Blood Sport – Axe Laid to the Root

    There is something fascinating about the angularity of the music by Blood Sport. By all means a band that iterates endlessly like a Sierpinski triangle, Blood Sport are a musical fractal, weaved layer upon layer, collapsing in an orderly fashion. Axe Laid to the Root continues to explore their droning afro-beat experiment, a gestalt entity that thrashes around in controlled…

  • Stream: Leapling – Hey Sister

    Many fantastic cocktails made by the fine bands in Exploding in Sound Records have been served this year. 2 Inch Astronaut, akin to an LSD spiked fruit punch. Kal Marks, a ginger beer with a whiskey chaser, still burning your throat. Washer, that hair of the dog michelada you drink to face back reality. Palehound , finally getting a release…
