NEW MUSIC: Waldo’s Gift – Kaleidoscope

Here’s some wild and freakish playing and composition from UK trio Waldo’s Gift. Jazz, post rock, avant prog and more combine on this fluttering, frenetic, precise yet freeing instrumental track that features an equally compelling video clip by Waveform Media. This beast grows and mutates, centred around that incessant metronomically pummelling rhythm. Hypnotic and thrilling stuff! Their debut album ‘Improvisations’, released May 10th consists entirely of music … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Waldo’s Gift – Kaleidoscope

Americana sounds are the order of the day on this lovely understated track from Chicagoans Jacob and Matthew Boll, under the name Edwin.

NEW MUSIC: Holy Void – I Will Never Be Again

Rising out of the sonic mist come Holy Void (Canada) with this heavyweight piece of psych rock that lumbers and sways along. It’s heavy without being HEAVY, has melodies that drip from it like sickly sweet toffee and  possesses enough rust and peeling paint to make it sound like it was beamed in from another time. Great stuff and an intoxicating  introduction that will drag … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Holy Void – I Will Never Be Again

NEW MUSIC: The Klubs – Loosen The Crown

For fans of Protomartyr, METZ, Viagra Boys, Pissed Jeans Lay down a rhythm section that has the heft and swing of Jesus Lizard, guitar that scissors and slashes across the speakers and a suitably belligerent and unhinged post-punk vocal and you’ve got a damn fine song from South African band The Klubs. It’s a hell of a bass line that drives this thing, leading it … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: The Klubs – Loosen The Crown

NEW MUSIC: TOVE – Gin & Lemonade

This track from TOVE caught our ear recently with it’s sweet, warm and mellifluous feel. There’s a breakbeat anchoring it, some lush shoegaze guitar, atmospheric sliding guitar moans and across it all is the beautiful voice of Sweden’s Tove Tejlar with her hypnotic, circling melodies. Lovely stuff. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: TOVE – Gin & Lemonade

NEW MUSIC: Dope Lemon – Give Me Honey

This is a curious and intriguing new track from Australian sonic trip merchant Dope Lemon (Angus Stone). ‘Give Me Honey’ is a psychedelic country song, a musical mirage of a psilocybin-drenched lock-in at a sleazy saloon. It sounds like Beck and Jason Pierce from Spiritualized facing their demons in a smoked-out house of mirrors, to a soundtrack by DeMarco and Vile. ‘Give Me Honey’ comes from … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Dope Lemon – Give Me Honey
