Interview: Melody’s Echo Chamber

If you haven’t heard of Melody’s Echo Chamber you’ve been living under a rock. And while it’s cold, dark and probably very boring under there, multi-instrumentalist Melody Prochet makes for a world of warming, lurid, Summer pop. Her eponymous debut album, produced by Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker, serves up

Hibou

Introducing: Hibou

Seattle’s Peter Michel – who works under the moniker, Hibou – forges driving, motorik guitar odysseys imbued with the expansive romance of the open road. His recently released single Glow/Hollow brings to mind the cyclical jangles of DIIV‘s Oshin or Wild Nothing‘s Gemini, but on a far …

Album Review: Ulrich Schnauss – A Long Way To Fall

Something disturbingly mathematical this way comes. Ethereal break-beat and rushing saccharine shoegaze of this magnitude is no accident. This record has been scientifically manufactured; a thousand electronic scrawls condensed into a sonic torrent of gigabytes and nanoseconds, orchestrated through a million synthesizers, levers, pedals and switches, magnified and purified and …

EP Review: Peace – Delicious

Just like the juicy slices of neon watermelon atop some trippy murky-coloured water marble depicted on the cover of Peace’s debut EP, the four tracks contained within are individual segments of tasty psychedelia.

The Birmingham foursome have come true on the mass excitement that greeted  their initial online demos and …

Album Review: Dinosaur Jr – I Bet On Sky

Apart from the ‘90s teenage alt rockers and hardcore fans, many still haven’t heard that much from Dinosaur Jr. And if you’re one of the non-music nerds, you may be slightly familiar with the 1994 song, ‘Feel The Pain’. If you’re still blank, it’s never too late to discover a …

Sanzhi is in Taiwan, and there is some quite interesting information you can read about the place here.

The mysterious resort inspires the name of an equally elusive new band who have not really put out much music – and even when they do, they keep taking it down. …

Swim Deep look like they’ve stepped out of a ‘90s Cameron Crowe slacker flick to lounge on your sofa and flip dejectedly through your magazines. Beyond the ripped denim and oversized Nirvana tees, though, they’re ambitious little buggers. New song ‘Honey’, all lumbering grunge bass line and chiming …
