The Men Announce New LP 'Mercy', Stream "Children All Over the World"

New York rockers The Men have announced the release of their eight studio album titled 'Mercy'.

The album was recorded live at Serious Business studio to 2" tape with Travis Harrison and will be out on February 14th via Sacred Bones. Pre-order your copy here.

The band did minimal overdubs, contributing to the urgent feel of the recording. The album is simply the sound of a band that has a deep and unjaded passion for songwriting and creation, working at the peak of their collaborative connection.

The Men have always been genre-morphic and unpredictable, but on their new album they have truly done something new as a band. For the first time since forming, they have now created three straight records with the same lineup, and the result is a sound that feels developed and continuous despite running the gamut of mood, in true Men fashion. Having this lineup stability has allowed the band to deepen and finesse the sounds they were exploring on 2017’s Drift and produce tracks that have a unique and distinct voice.

Goat Girl Announce Debut Album, Air "The Man" New Video

South London indie rock/garage pop band Goat Girl have announced they will release their self-titled debut album on 6th April via Rough Trade Records.

The album was produced by Dan Carey in his South London studio in the autumn of 2017.

According to the press release, across 19 tracks in 40 minutes, Goat Girl’s self-titled debut creates a half fantasy world out of a very dirty ugly city reality. In the groups words: “Simply put, it’s an album that comes from growing up in London and the first-hand experience of our city’s devolution. We wanted to think of it as this place seen not necessarily just through our eyes, but someone who can’t get past the abnormalities and strange happenings that exist in our city. We think this gives the freedom lyrically and musically to explore unspoken truths and emotions that we all as humans feel.

This world is populated by creeps and liars, lovers, dreamers and wonderful lunatics. It's a very English album -- sharp-eyed observations like The Kinks, louche rage like The Slits -- but it's also full of swampy swaggering guitars and Lottie's filthy drawl. "It wasn't exactly intentional to have this warped country sound, but I think that was initially what we were all drawn to and inspired by, bands that existed in a lo-fi,dissonant, scratchy context."
