NEW MUSIC: My Disco Return With New Single And Album

Melbourne trio My Disco have been fairly quiet of late but now they’re about to unleash their new album and going on the sound of first single ‘King Sound’ they’ve stripped things back even further to a dark, minimal and stealth-like piece of musical machinery. Brutal, brooding and clinical it captures the airspace between post-rock and dark electronica perfectly. The new LP Severe has been … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: My Disco Return With New Single And Album

NEW MUSIC: Deerhunter – Snakeskin

Bradford Cox and Deerhunter return with a brand new track – ‘Snakeskin’ – ahead of their new LP Fading Frontier which will be released on October 16th via 4AD/Remote Control. I’m loving the upbeat groove of this first single, fun and dark at the same time. Fading Frontier 1. All The Same 2. Living My Life 3. Breaker 4. Duplex Planet 5. Take Care 6. Leather … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Deerhunter – Snakeskin

TRACK LISTING 01. Furlong 02. Life As A Gun 03. … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Gold Class – Life As A Gun

NEW MUSIC: New Order – Restless

Fresh off the internet superhighway, here’s the brand new single from New Order and straight off the bat it sounds better than anything they’ve done for years. That melancholic pop streak is there. Bernard Sumner’s trademark guitar riff is intact and he’s singing within the music instead of trying to be a rock singer. Nice stuff. The new album Music Complete is out September 25th on Mute. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: New Order – Restless

NEW MUSIC: Protomartyr announce new single and album

One of my favourite bands over the last few years has been Protomartyr, a quartet out of Detroit who combine post-punk dynamics, a nihilist howl, jagged edges and intelligent espousals. The good news is they have a new album called The Agent Intellect (their 3rd in as many years) coming out on August 8th via Hardly Art /Inertia. Below you can hear the first single ‘Why … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Protomartyr announce new single and album

VIDEO: Ducktails – Surreal Exposure

Matthew Mondanile (Real Estate) solo career as Ducktails gets better and better with each new release. From hypnagogic woozy lo-fi beginnings to the excellent refined indie pop of The Flower Lane Mondanile seems to be on a quest to refine his sound to sparkling effervescent melancholic pop songs. On the evidence here, from his upcoming St Catherine LP (July 28th), he’s getting closer and closer. Here … Continue reading VIDEO: Ducktails – Surreal Exposure

NEW MUSIC: Beach House – Sparks

I was pretty disappointed with Bloom, the last Beach House album. Something didn’t click for me, it felt too dissipated and bloodless. The good news for anyone who may have felt the same is that the first track to appear from the new album finds them back to mining woozy, droning psychedelic qualities to excellent effect. They sound ethereal and off kilter like a ghostly … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Beach House – Sparks

NEW MUSIC: Blank Realm – River Of Longing

Blank Realm have a new record on the way, their first proper studio recorded effort, produced by Lawrence English. Illegals In Heaven is due out on September 4th via Bedroom Suck/Fire Records. Here’s the first taste of it in the single ‘River Of Longing’ – all tangled guitars, meshed and spaghetti’ing across the stereo spectrum over a frantic drumbeat. Gloriously messy and vibrant brilliance as … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Blank Realm – River Of Longing

NEW MUSIC: Bad//Dreems announce Album, Single and Tour

Finally those Adelaide reprobates Bad//Dreems have gone and announced their album Dogs At Bay is complete and ready to do the business from August 21st. Produced by Mark Opitz (AC/DC, The Angels, INXS, Cold Chisel) it’s been a long time coming but it will no doubt be worth the wait given the superb singles ‘Dumb Ideas’/’My Only Friend’ and ‘Cuffed and Collared’ that have already been released from … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Bad//Dreems announce Album, Single and Tour

NEW MUSIC: Refused – Dawkins Christ

Refused are back with a new album, their first since The Shape Of Punk To Come back in 1998. There they harnessed the punk of Fugazi, the metal of Slayer and the incendiary funk of Rage Against The Machine. Thankfully they’ve retained the clinical brutality in their music without watering it down for the masses in the year 2015. Here’s a perfect example of that in … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Refused – Dawkins Christ
