  • Stream: Moving Panoramas – One

        We might be hardwired to think of dreamgaze as shoegaze’s soft-speaking sibling, but you really don’t need distortions to be heavy. It’s the words what matter, really, and when those chained sentences are enveloped in atmospheric wonderlands like the ones Moving Panoramas create, they linger on. ‘One’ is the first of many great songs from Moving…

  • Stream: Hey Sholay – Eyes for me

    It has been a long road, but the honeysuckle psych poppy Hey Sholay comes back from the woods. ‘Eyes for me’ is a trippy honeycomb that should remind you that the beloved quintet can make a hook, then turn it into fried gold.  If tha fancies it, you can download it from their soundcloud

  • Video Round Up: The Eastern Sea, Beach Day, Alex Napping, La Chance, Motes

      Hey ho, away we go! It’s another one from our “let’s keep bands and PRs happy with a quick post!” book of blogging! That is: VIDEO ROUND UP! First, we’ve got a brand new single by Cromwellian chamber popites (!) The Eastern Sea. ‘Silver Spoon’ spearheads a cavalcade of new tracks that we will hype, hyperbole…

  • Review: Nevoa – The Absence of Void

    I have my own taste in Metal music that tends to limit what I might listen to, and one of the big ones is a dislike of vocals that aren’t “clean”. That would arguably prejudice me against two-man band Nevoa‘s début album The Absence of Void because their primary vocal style comes straight from classic…

  • Stream: Sundiver – Caravelle/Discoverer

    As announced recently, Sundiver‘s magic bag of spacerock tricks is ready to burst. ‘Caravelle’ taps into an endless source of energy, cycling through raw emotions. It builds up a comedown that shakes wistfulness away with great acumen. Whereas ‘Caravelle’ goes for the slow build, ‘Discoverer’ is a straight rocker. Sharp, lean and right on target. Two masterful  hors-d’oeuvres to…

  • Interview – Sundiver

    Sundiver are a fantastic space rock band from Kansas City. If you need a stronger and verbose argument than the previous sentence, we’ve got your back with this here review. Anyways, we got in touch with the band to have a little chat (via email) and here’s the conversation in full: 1.- For those of…

  • Teaser: Ácidolandia EP

    While we miscreant journos still ponder if the Mexican music scene is alive, dead or undead, undead, undead, undead like Bela Lugosi, Acidandali went and recorded a brand new spiffy EP. Here’s a teaser for you lot. And in case you missed it, their recent album takes a good spin down musique concrète alley.

  • Review: Actual Wolf – Itasca

      A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of talking with Eric Pollard, aka Actual Wolf. It was a lovely conversation and we mostly geeked about coffee, music and his new album, Itasca.  A sort of love letter to home and childhood, Itasca is made up of 9 songs. Although much of it is quiet in comparison to the thunderous…
