NEW MUSIC: Reunion Island – Erasto Dream

Texans Reunion Island (now based in Brooklyn and Dallas) deliver a finely tuned and sparkling synth swathe on this track of instrumental electronica, recorded at Soma Studios with John McEntire (Tortoise), who also contributed drums to the album the song comes from – Collapse.  There’s a Krautrock and kosmiche vibe to the song with it’s metronomic rhythm but over the top of that digital sounds spark and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Reunion Island – Erasto Dream

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: Cross Dog – Scars

Cross Dog are a self-described heavy, noisy, feminist punk band from Peterborough Ontario, Canada and man they deliver a blistering slab of noise/punk metal on this track from their new album Hollow. There’s the raw, unbridled fury of the first Hole album bleeding into the hardcore of a band like Refused. It’s unrelenting and built on only bass, drums and vocals but the dynamics they … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Cross Dog – Scars

NEW MUSIC: Charcoal Burners – Winged Bird

Taken from their album The Best Day You Could Imagine, released earlier in 2019, here’s Charcoal Burners‘ excellent song ‘Winged Bird’. The Dunedin, New Zealand band (the vehicle for songwriter Andrew Spittle) blend some fine dense and distorted guitars into lacerated and weary indie rock music that recalls Sebadoh, Husker Du and Swervedriver and JPS Experience. The brilliance of the song lies in its cascading … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Charcoal Burners – Winged Bird

NEW MUSIC: Slowcoaching – Between The Walls

Here’s a nice new slice of sophisticated indie guitar pop out of Melbourne, Australia.

NEW MUSIC: Paso Viejo – Kitsune

We’re always on the hunt for great post-rock that settles in that sweet spot between textural exploration and epic sweep, without heading too far into metal territory or getting too technical at the expense of heart and soul. Argentinian band Paso Viejo definitely caught our ear in that respect, with this track ‘Kitsune’. It sparkles and swells, painting details in the shadowy, mood corners and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Paso Viejo – Kitsune

NEW MUSIC: Bensnburner – Meanwhile

Deep rhythms, warm tones and hypnotic glitches collide with hypnotic synth mantras and smears of post-rock guitar on this track from German composer Bensnburner. It comes from his new album (late September release) which was recorded in an empty 400 square metre hangar with a 30 metre high ceiling that created a seven second reverb.

NEW MUSIC: Slark Moan – Honesty

Almost a Beach Boys sound at the start of this new track from Slark Moan. From there it opens up into cascading piano notes before settling on a rubbery bass groove and classic baroque and power pop shapes. Vocal harmonies soar skyward while Ringo-style drums keep the song in check, while also adding some nice rhythmic colour behind the vocal, inhabited by the wandering ghost … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Slark Moan – Honesty

NEW MUSIC: Orion’s Belte – Cherchez La Ghost

It’s hard to ignore the killer groove and minimal exotic funk of this track from Norwegian trio Orion’s Belte. They released their debut album Mint last year and have already followed it up with the EP Slim in 2019. ‘Cherchez La Ghost’ is their brilliant take on the Ghostface Killah track, mixing a great breakbeat with effect-laden pedal steel and an nervous twitch of a … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Orion’s Belte – Cherchez La Ghost
