NEW MUSIC: Boris | Quicksilver (from forthcoming new LP Noise)

Boris are an incredible band who fuse, distort, bend and blend metal, psych, noise, punk and drone into one definitive sound. Live they are pummelling and hypnotic, on record they can be frustratingly indulgent or thrillingly visceral. ‘Quicksilver’ is the first taste of their new LP Noise which comes out on June 17th via Sargent House. Be prepared for seven minutes of tsunami-like waves of metallic and … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Boris | Quicksilver (from forthcoming new LP Noise)

NEW MUSIC: Fennesz | Static Kings

Christian Fennesz has been merging electronica and guitars for years now, making both seem inseparable in his world, the latter often unrecognisable. Now he’s returning to the Mego label where he released what many consider his finest album Endless Summer (My personal favourite is still Venice) in 2001. On April 29th he’ll unveil his new record Bécs. Here’s the first taste of the album with the track ‘Static … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Fennesz | Static Kings

NEW MUSIC: Popstrangers | Country Kills

New Zealand expats now based in the UK, Popstrangers already have a new album in the can and ready for release on May 27th via Carpark Records. Fortuna follows their excellent Antipodes LP, my favourite NZ album of 2013. ‘Country Kills’ is a tad less noisy and chaotic than their debut yet it still possesses their wonderful knack for chorus melodies. By the second chorus … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Popstrangers | Country Kills

NEW MUSIC: Afghan Whigs | The Lottery

A second track from the new Afghan Whigs album has been released. The Lottery sounds like prime Whigs in its rhythm and groove and Greg Dulli’s soaring chorus. The first single was very good but didn’t excite as much as this one does. I can’t wait to hear the rest of the LP Do To The Beast which comes out on April 14th via Sub … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Afghan Whigs | The Lottery

NEW MUSIC: Sister Jane | Whole Wide World

Sydney’s Sister Jane are releasing Whole Wide World, the first single from their new album, on October 15th and have kindly sent a pre-release stream out into the digital aether. It finds them sounding impressively widescreen with tumbling drums, reverb-laden guitars peeling off all corners of the canvas and vocals that resonate with lush melodicism and barely contained urgency. There’s a decidedly UK post punk/indie … Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Sister Jane | Whole Wide World

LISTEN: Dick Diver | Through the D

Melbourne’s Dick Diver have a great sound reminiscent of Go-Betweens and New Zealand bands like The Bats and The Chills – laidback, strumming, washes of sound. Great stuff… Through the D comes from their debut album New Start Again which comes out October 14th via Chapter Music. You can also grab their 2009 Arks Up EP over at their Bandcamp page.
