  • Video: Correatown – Distillery

      We are still on a high with the recent material by Correatown, that is, last year’s Sleep and other drugs (our review). Today, while we wait for Embrace the Fuzzy Unknown (out Nov. 27 on Highline Records), we are dead excited to bring you the premiere of ‘Distillery’, a brand new video from Sleep and other drugs.  Angela Correa told us…

  • Stream: Honeymilk – Psychrocker

    How’s your Friday? Mine’s full of exams to apply and then to grade, but that’s how intense the life of a teacher/repo man is. Honeymilk, however, have an even more intense life in Stockholm. While skulking the bars and venues of their city, they observed that one musician we all know: full of hubris and swanky clothes, posturing…

  • Stream: The Eastern Sea – Boy in Blue

    I love The Eastern Sea. Since accidentally running into them thanks to Daytrotter, I’ve found them marvellous. Last year I was stupidly lucky to see them live several times (four!) during SXSW and they delivered a perfect set of new songs. One of these particular songs made a mark. It actually captured that strange feeling of having…

  • Review: Birthmark – How you look when you’re falling down

    Birthmark‘s Antibodies came in a strange time in my life. It was 2012 and between shuffling PhD woes, break ups and the “no money” blues, ‘Stuck’ was an accurate description of the general mood in my life. Antibodies seemed peppy, full of those glitches that made it memorable, but also felt stark, with those heartwrenching lyrics. How you…

  • Stream: The Migrant – Silence

    From Denmark, that jewel in the crown shaped region of Europe, we offer you the music of The Migrant, purveyors of psychedelic folk and fine pop. Flood, their third album, is released on Rockpie Records. ‘Silence’, the first single, comes out on November 13th. ‘Silence’ finds lead singer and composer Bjarke Bendtsen weaving through hazy fields of heather, creating a quilt…

  • Review: Maritime – Magnetic Bodies/Maps of Bones

    I don’t know about you, partner, but I met the fine people of Maritime thanks to the AV Club. Every week, whenever I watched a band spin a song on its head and create their own version, that tack-a-tack-tack-TANG! chord progression from the magnificent ‘It’s casual’ filled me with joy. Who were these people? How…

  • Stream: Molly Anna – Villain

    You know? I honestly can’t tell the difference between March and October any more. The wind is chilly. The leaves are mostly absent and a penchant for the dramatic pop seems to govern with an iron fist the playlist. Enter Molly Anna, whose previous incarnation we talked about many a year ago. Back in those Tesco meal deals,…

  • Stream : Thee Mightees – Brutal

    Turn the right jennel in Sheffield and you can find a good band doing anything. Anything. On the top of my mind, that’s how I ran into Nai Harvest and Best Friends. And after several corners were walked, kicked and tripped upon, I now see Thee Mightees, taking a dip into the [allegedly] clean River…

  • Review: Moving Panoramas – One

    When is music a healing tool? I for one cannot say that I know the process as a musician, but as a music junkie, I think that once you find the one song that brings catharsis for a particular bad memory, you’ve found the chosen one. Wait, one, one, ONE! http://rd.io/x/QWHyHCIDOWg/ Fuck yeah, Moving Panoramas’ debut album…

  • Stream: Surf Rock is Dead – Never be the same

    Surf Rock is Dead‘s brand new album just came out last Friday and we’re late to the party, because, shit, son, when have you seen a Mexican that arrives on time? I’m a Mexican’t, Johnny Depp knew me well. ANYWAYS, Surf Rock is Dead deal a post-punky rock with thick atmospheres. Or, as Bubbles from The…
