As mentioned in today’s mothership ‘gram, Gang Of Four wrapped up their “Long Goodbye” tour this past weekend in Amsterdam, closing the book for good on the legendary post-punk band in all it’s incarnations. At the end of things was original singer Jon King and drummer Hugo Burnham, along with all-star ringers Gail Greenwood and […]
You’ve no idea my excitement when I saw the announcement of a new Blood Orange single a few weeks ago. Not just because I’m a fan – while Dev Hynes doesn’t really fall under the remit of this site, I’ve been a fan since his Lightspeed Champion days – but because listed at the top […]
Yuragi were kind of one-and-done with music videos for their latest album All Your Languages when they released the album-length mini-feature film for it back in January, but six months on, they’ve got some fresh content for your eyeballs in the form of a couple of beautifully-shot live clips from the their release show at […]
Part of the whole Chameleons narrative is that they’re criminally underrated and unappreciated, even though the other part of the narrative is that they’re hugely influential. You can debate how both things can be true, but one think that is quantitatively true is that for a hugely influential band, they are not covered very much […]
Every now and again, I’ll be reminded how much I loved Mojave 3 – as much as Slowdive, probably – and while this particular episode probably won’t be a full deep dive rabbit hole, it has yielded a video from 2000’s Excuses For Travelers that I’ve never seen. It’s studio footage interspersed with handycam footage […]
I was pretty keen on Tokyo’s KILDREN last year based on a handful – or fingerful, really – of songs released last April that carried the torch of For Tracy Hyde-influenced J-gaze-pop high and proud. Well perhaps the band weren’t quite so proud after all. They returned almost a year later this past April with […]
Italo-gazers Glazyhaze released their second album Sonic back in March, and it’s been collecting accolades ever since, including a top-20 spot on Stereogum’s 50 best albums of the half-year. Those looking for physical copies of the record probably know that the self-released limited edition of the album has long been sold out, but it appears […]
Just in time for the solstice, London shoegazers Whitelands have welcomed the Summer with their first new music since last year’s Night-Bound Eyes Are Blind To The Sky, available to stream or as a limited edition flexi-disc. Musically, it’s a short, jaunty – almost buoyant – tune suited to the season, and the production is […]
Irish outfit Just Mustard exist in a liminal space between post-punk and shoegaze, and it’s a niche they’ve occupied well, create a uniquely abrasive atmosphere across two albums that, most recently, scored them a high profile slot opening for The Cure in South America in 2023. Those waiting for a follow up to 2022’s Heart […]
Every once in a while – looks to be about an annual tradition – I’ll remember that I love I Break Horses, and wonder if they’ve been up to anything. I do this mostly by checking their socials and, at the very least, seek out proof of life. There’s been little to report since 2020’s […]
