London’s burning in record breaking sunshine once again – literally on the commons near where I live which have caught fire more than once this past week. Here is a selection of tunes to cool me, and you, down. Here … Continue reading The Hiding In The Shade Sampler

Dummy follow last years Mandatory Enjoyment long player with a new single recorded for the Sub Pop Records Singles Club. Mono Retriever is a full on romp through krautrock, drone and psych tinged synth-pop that answers to the call of … Continue reading Dummy – Mono Retriever
Dummy release their debut album Mandatory Enjoyment on October 22nd 2021 via Trouble In Mind Records. Final Weapon is the second single to be taken from the said album and the band continue with their blend of Krautrock, drone, psychedelic, … Continue reading Dummy – Final Weapon
Beach Vacation – Lost in Sight The follow up single to last November’s excellent I Fell Apart album is a dreamy, jangling affair which should come as no surprise since they claim their influences are “every Swedish pop band”. The … Continue reading The Right Thing Is Hard To Do
The music of Porto’s Big Summer has not appealed to me previously but I have to say the new single Drones is very impressive. The title suggested a kosmische undercurrent to the song and that holds true as the band … Continue reading Big Summer – Drones

The sun has gone in and it’s p*ssing it down in London Town. Time to get stuck into more tunes resting on top of my digital back pile. Fowl Science hail from Toronto and, judging by the lack of anything else listed, The Flowering Eye is their debut release. The song is a catchy mix of shoegaze, alt-rock and post-punk. The synths give the song an emotive feel as does the repeated chorus of “they’re calling; they’re calling”. The Shop Window follow up their excellent previous single Mannequin Lies with new single Reflection. To be honest it does not grab … Continue reading The Sunday Session
Sonic Dhoom is the first new material we have heard from Melbourne’s The Black Heart Death Cult since their debut album early last year. It’s fine piece of Asian inspired psychedelic done featuring some wonderful sitar work. I am pretty sure it’s a nod to Pete Kember.

Sonic Dhoom is available digitally from the band. There will be a 7″ single appearing on Salty Dog Records soon. Facebook Continue reading The Black Heart Death Cult – Sonic Dhoom
