  • A day at nrmal

    This review really shouldn’t exist. I mean this. After Corona Capital, I was pretty much over festivals but the siren call of Low was heed. The rest of the line-up was scrumptious. No excuses to stay indoors, not even the lure of Frank Underwood‘s Shakespearean antics. A peaceful drive through the leafy Calle 10 bode well. All…

  • Stream: Vyctoria – IV

      We are quite excited that the baroque pop magicians from Vyctoria are back with a brand new track, called ‘IV’! It serves as a sort of teaser trailer for their upcoming album, out later this year. ‘IV’ takes a baroque pop layout, mixes a few strokes of post rock and builds a bonfire with fiery tendrils…

  • Stream: Bat For Lashes – In God’s House

      I think we always had a thing for Bat for Lashes in this Shithole of a Website (TM) called Sloucher. And after last year’s tremendously good Sexwitch, news of more Bat For Lashes was the proverbial psychedelic cherry on top. ‘In God’s House’ is the second song released (check the ethereal ‘I do’ if you haven’t) and it harks…

  • Review: The Eastern Sea – The Witness

    2014, SXSW. Somewhere near the middle of The Eastern Sea’s set at a BBQ joint, after ‘Boy in blue’ ends and ‘Young nones’ begins, I realise this is one of those gigs I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Not only it’s the last show I’ll see in Austin in this little trip of…

  • VIdeo: Urss bajo el árbol – Profecía

    ‘Profecía’, the brand new single (and video!) from Mexico’s Urss bajo el árbol juxtaposes the eclectic nature of the band’s experimental sound with the frozen in time landscapes of Cuba, where cars of yore still co-exist with the hustle and bustle of modern life. Check it out.

  • The one that took a queue from Molly Anna’s Ghosts EP.

      See how the lights shine on their faces. A lamp betwixt, the barbarians revelling. “Give me the gun” I said, taking it from his old, stubborn hands. She was unaware. The danger spiralled as the noise intensified. She, her bandanna crowning her petite figure. A thousand armed monster almost obliterated her frailty, it was…

  • Stream: Loam – A Room

      The dark echoes of disembodied voices and droning post punk arrangements seep through the ruins of old industrial estates. It’s the darkest point at night and although it should be unnerving, there’s a strange emotion seeping through. The rhythmic waves soothe as they cyclically make their way through the rarefied atmosphere. Wet silt mixed…

  • Premiere: Acidolandia

    We are overjoyed to bring you an exclusive stream of Acidandali‘s brand new EP, Acidolandia. The soundtrack to an imaginary lost film finds the Mexican trio deep into found sound territory, where the loud squeals, unnerving cracks and fuzzy shouts of a thousand lucid dreams intertwine to bring 5 tracks pulled from the rarefied ether that surrounds a…

  • The Great Promo Hunt – Best of 2015

    2015. We wave goodbye to this year and just like any other before (and after), there were high and lows. This Shithole of a Website (TM) was supposed to close and we are still here, wondering what it all means and when is it really time to call it quits. It’ll be a whimper, not…

  • 20 bandas, otro año: los pronósticos del colectivo Aquí No Hubo Escena (ANHE)

    20 bandas, otro año Pronósticos del colectivo Aquí No Hubo Escena (ANHE)   Texto: Aquí No Hubo Escena Fotos: Facebook de cada banda Este no es un recuento de fin de año (esperamos se den cuenta con el título que trata sobre el 2016). Tampoco una lista cien por ciento segura de que los grupos mencionados…
