Wrinkles



Patently a band that don't take themselves too seriously, we called Wrinkles previous release the slackest of all slacker pop and now we have nowhere to go. Again the ramshackle charm wins out.

The Nights



Last summer we took a shine to the 'After Hours' EP by Sydney outfit The Nights. Thankfully they have now followed it up with this slow burning demo 'Greatest'.

Luka



Divine hypnosis continues apace from Luka following on from 'Lowdown' with this cracker.

Winter Drones



Not content with membership of Still Corners and Hush Arbors, Leon Dufficy ploughs his own furrow to great effect as Winter Drones.

Wednesday 16 July 2014

Macsen



Tropical house music purveyed by New York producer Macsen.

Los Angeles Police Department



Lo-fi fragility all the way on this track taken from the debut LP of LAPD.

V E N N



New London band V E N N possess the kind of driving, krauty aesthetic which puts me in mind of the criminally underrated Working For A Nuclear Free City.



Tuesday 15 July 2014

Brilliantly naive, childlike 'anti-freak folk' from Michigan native Nathan K.

Another irresistible release from Gold Is For The Golden Team.

The Royal Landscaping Society



More from The Royal Landscaping Society, taken from their LP due in mid July.

Atlas Murphy



We featured Atlas Murphy's collaboration with Zoo Brother back in February, 'Whatever' was the sound of an ice cream van which offers psychoactives alongside the Mr Whippy. Anyway as well as this collaboration, Atlas Murphy's solo output does its damnedest to reflect a stellar list of contemporary leftfield indie influences.

Wild Ones



It might be a 'B Side' but this is pretty special stuff from Wild Ones.

Tuesday 8 July 2014
