Australia’s own CIRCLE PIT are back with a brand new 7″ from Hardly Art and they’ve unexpectedly changed up their sound. Moving away from the scuzz-driven grit of their earlier releases, now they’re brewing up electronically based deep cuts. Continue reading “Circle Pit – Slave 7″”
Philadelphia’s own MOON WOMEN have been quite active these days, most recently releasing this debut 7″ we have here today. Last we heard was a live EP recorded at WXPN studios here in Philly, so let’s see what they’ve got for us this time around. Continue reading “Moon Women – Light Moves Slowly 7″”
At first SILVER SHAMPOO was an unfamiliar name. However, once you throw on their record and give it a couple spins, the stuff really starts to sink in. That seems to be the case with all the countless bands who dwell in the Denton, TX area, which is exactly where these striped-down pop-punkers hail from. You probably didn’t need us to tell you that, but it should all become clear after hearing this cut from the album below, called “On Wheels.” It’s overflowing with wonky bass lines, jagged guitars and an innocent adolescent spirit bursting with energy, and acts as a nice snapshot of what the rest of the album holds.

Here’s one we should have covered months ago, but due to issues at the pressing plant Fire Talk had to postpone it’s release. It’s a 7″ single from WOODSMAN, featuring the opener from their 2011 album “Rare Forms,” and a previously unreleased B-side. Continue reading “Woodsman – Insects 7″”
You’ve got to admit, we’ve been loving this stuff from Chile as of late. Here’s another EP from FÖLLAKZOID, who share some members from other Chilean bands we’ve recently covered, from the Sacred Bones camp. Continue reading “Föllakzoid – Föllakzoid EP”
THE PAPERHEAD just released their debut album from the Trouble in Mind label, capturing a seemingly lost psychedelic sound of the 60’s and 70’s. They take on a scarily authentic approach, which only becomes more perplexing after learning it’s done by three eighteen year old dudes from Nashville. Continue reading “The Paperhead – The Paperhead”
This Sacred Bones Records compilation marks the second Record Store Day exclusive we’re covering. It features plenty of bands (Moon Duo, Zola Jesus, Trust, Cult of Youth) who have recently graced our headlines, so in terms of compilations it doesn’t get much better than this. Continue reading “Various Artists – Todo Muere Volume 1”
MING DONKEY ONE MAN BAND is pretty much just how it sounds – a one man band from Mississippi. Other than that, there’s really not much other information out there to be found. Hopefully we can attempt to change that with this post. Continue reading “Ming Donkey One Man Band – Georgia Line 7″”
What we have here is a brand new and totally under-announced EP from our favorite Chicago bros HEAVY TIMES. This is one of those things that drops way too silently and it makes you wonder why they wouldn’t put it out there more. I guess that’s because of blogs like this. Continue reading “Heavy Times – Too Many Dreamers EP”
Well this one just seemed too appropriate for today. NATURAL CHILD release their brand new, debut full length to the world, and on what better day than 4/20? Follow that link for a nice preview of the album, but if you’re unfamiliar please stick around and listen to this one we got here. It comes from their first 7″ on the Infinity Cat label and it’s a hell of an opening statement. How many times have you heard a concept like this turned into a fist-in-air anthem? Probably not even once (but if I’m wrong please enlighten me). They blend hilarity with garage rock and walk the line like champs, almost as if they drew it themselves. However, if anything is true, it’s that this 7″ is one of the most solid and satisfying I’ve ever spun on my turntable.
