You don’t need words to preface this. However, ahead of their second album, released via Gizeh Records on 26th February, Brave Timbers have unveiled a video to accompany the track ‘Swimming ion the Isar’. Filmed by K Craig of Last Harbour, it’s a semi-abstract piece which maintains the ocus on the delicately arresting music.
Relax and enjoy.
‘Dervish Sharma Dancing’ is the first single from Lee Negin’s upcoming album (and DVD) release of psychedelic, mind-expanding electronic dance, trip, rave, trance music. Make no mistake, it’s a groove sensation.

‘Runway’ has been compared to the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (cool) and Kasabian (not cool). We’re not really hearing the Kasabian vibe and rather dig it – hence the fature in our ‘recommended streams and videos’ section. We don’t recommend stuff that’s crap, because we have a reputation to consider, after all.
Taken from upcoming album ‘Either That Or The Moon’, which will be released on 4th March 2016, ‘Runway’ is a classic slice of contemporary psych-rock and evidences why Desert Mountain Tribe have enjoyed sharing stages in the last couple of years with acts including Toy, Wovenhand, The Wytches and Damo Suzuki. They’re clearly going places. You can watch the video below:
Leeds’ Post War Glamour Girls have already delivered one of the albums of the year with their second long-player, Feeling Strange, and attendant live dates have proven them to be – yet again – one of the most consistent and exhilarating live acts around.
They’re ending 2015 on a high note, with a video release for album track ‘Count Your Blessings’. Brooding and moody, the song’s dark undercurrents and cinematic guitar sound are accentuated by a magnificently-shot video which is presents a bleak narrative with some unexpected twists.
Watch the video here.
If you’ve ever been a fan of Tim Buckley, Cocteau Twins or This Mortal Coil, you’ll already know ‘Song To The Siren‘. This mesmerising rendition comes from the Wales-based trio, who have released it in sync with their performance kicking off SpaceFest, one of Eastern Europe’s top psych music festivals. It’s available as a free download from their Bandcamp page. Meanwhile, you can watch the accompanying video here.
Hot on the heals of their stunning second album, Post War Glamour Girls offer up one of the album’s (many) standout tracks, ‘Cannonball Villages’ as a digital single . It’s backed with a 12-minute remix courtesy of Richard Formby, cult producer and Wild Beasts collaborator. It perhaps goes without saying that it’s stonking. Get streaming below.
Cult of Luna and The Old Wind will be releasing an epic riff-filled EP together on 29th January via Pelagic Records. The label have posted a teaser trailer which you can watch below. We’d reccomend you do.
In reaction to the current refugee crisis, Martin Creed presents a brand new body of audiovisual work. Comprising “Let Them In” and “Border Control”, this is the Turner Prize winning artist’s sharp, pithy response to the humanitarian disaster. In keeping with his two albums, “Love To You” and “Mind Trap”, both are gloriously succinct yet potent bursts of buoyant, ramshackle pop, albeit underlaid this time around with an urgent call to arms.
Kudos to Creed. Bono he isn’t.

Something of a neoprog supergroup, The Mute Gods are a brand new band centred around renowned bassist, chapman stick player & vocalist Nick Beggs, accompanied by drummer Marco Minnemann (Steven Wilson), and long-time Steve Hackett collaborator & keyboardist Roger King. Their debut album, Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me is set for release on 22nd January 2016. Ahead of this, they’ve unveiled a video for the title track. It’s no criticism to note that it sounds as you might expect. You can check it out here:
Ritual Productions recently announced the signing of The Poisoned Glass, a duo comprised of two members of the legendary doom band Burning Witch – vocalist Edgy59 and bassist G.Stuart Dahlquist. Ahead of their album, 10 Swords, scheduled for release in 2016, they’ve paired up with artist Richard Forbes-Hamilton to produce a short film by way of an album trailer.
The film entitled ‘The Final Act of Geng Yaoting’, by artist Richard Forbes-Hamilton, uses a mixture of oil painting and digital animation to tell a terrifying tale of the process between dreaming and dying; the conscious and unconscious. Made ever more chilling with Dahlquist’s droning detuned bass, siren-like organ and Edgy59’s unbridled and jarring tenor, the film offers sonic snippets of new The Poisoned Glass songs ‘Low Spirits’, ‘Toil and Trouble’ and ‘Plume Veil’.
It’s as dark as hell – and makes us eager to hear the album. You can watch The Final Act of Geng Yaoting below.
The Poisoned Glass will also be touring Europe in the spring of 2016. Dates are as follows:
14th April – Roadburn / Green Room – Tilburg – NL
15th April – Magasin4 – Brussels – Belgium
16th April – Bastard Club – Osnabrueck – Germany
20th April – Blitz – Oslo – Norway
21st April – Kuudes Linja – Helsinki – Finland
More dates are set to be announced in the near future
