Micra Unleash New Single/Video "5th Room"

Sydney dream pop duo Micra have unleashed visuals for their new single "5th Room".

The song is taken from their '5th Room', EP (the 2nd from a 3 part trilogy) released last week (August 4) via Liberation Records. Get it here. 

“Each EP in this trilogy represents a different side to Micra. Over the last few years, we have been constantly creating and refining. Yet we have only presented a small glimpse into our musical world so far. From songs that came together quickly in one day, to songs that we have spent years tinkering with, each EP is a different exploration of sonics and moods.

Watch: POND Unleash New Single/Video "Hang a Cross On Me"

Australian psychedelic-pop/rock band POND have unleashed the video for their new single "Hang a Cross On Me".

The song is taken from the deluxe edition of their latest album '9', which will be out on May 20 via Spinning Top Records, featuring 4 new tracks. Pre-order your copy here.

“Hang A Cross On Me was made infinitely cooler by the return of Cowboy John - musician, poet, fashion icon, Poon's Head Studio regular, legend. We got Cowboy to feature on Hobo Rocket back in the day. In both songs he insisted on improvising his own lyrics and on only doing one take, and both, of course, were perfect. He meditates on love, life, the universe and everything with his signature fantastical surrealism and cosmic wonder. It's always a pleasure working with him. He is incredibly rare and brilliant and we love him,” says frontman Nick Allbrook.

New Entry: WAXX! Share New Single/Video "Rearrange"

Norwich scuzzy garage/psych rock band WAXX! have shared their new single "Rearrange", alongside an accompanying music video.

The follow-up to last year-s debut single "Dave Says", is out now through Catch 21 Records. 

The  fuzzy psychedelic 6-piece invoke the "90s does 60s" vibe. Come for the strong melodies and soaring guitar lines and stay for the explosive live show with an emphasis on dancing and general good times. 

Rearrange is a commentary on day to day priorities and how the constant moving puzzle pieces can create a very different picture from one day to the next. The single is a mixture of lo fi and hi fi production, again mirroring the message in the song.

The band have a string of live dates across the summer and are working on their debut album out later this year.

Watch: Micra Premiere New Single "Headroom"

Sydney dream pop duo Micra have premiered their new single "Headroom".

The song is taken from their debut EP 'Sunday', the first in a coming trilogy planned for release over this year via Liberation Records. Get it here. 

As a whole, the EP is a sprawling, sonic journey through a range of genres and moods; moments of quiet contemplation are balanced by hits of euphoria and release, mirroring the sentiments of the title track, as the band explore ideas of introspection, isolation and freedom. Genre lines are blurred and blended to sweet effect. 

“Each EP in this trilogy represents a different side to Micra. Over the last few years, we have been constantly creating and refining. Yet we have only presented a small glimpse into our musical world so far. From songs that came together quickly in one day, to songs that we have spent years tinkering with, each EP is a different exploration of sonics and moods. 

“Our first EP explores the themes of introspection and isolation in different ways. These aren’t always negative emotions leading to negative moments. Sometimes they can be the exact opposite.”

Spaceface Announce New LP 'Anemoia', Stream "Long Time (feat. LABRYS)"

Memphis psych-rockers Spaceface (fronted by The Flaming Lips’ keyboardist/guitarist Jake Ingalls) have announced the release of their new album 'Anemoia'. 

The 12-track album was engineered, produced and mixed by Jarod Evans at Blackwatch Studios, and will be out on January 28, 2022 via Mothland. Pre-order your copy here.

 Inspired by funk rock classics and made possible by collaborative artistry in the age of endless possibilities, Anemoia is equal parts a contemplative psychedelic pop odyssey, and a hopeful broadcast from the heart into Outer Space. For fans of Beck, Tame Impala and MGMT.

Though it can first be perceived as a simple feat of efficient and minimalistic songwriting by Jake Ingalls and friends - the results of slick melodies, rich arrangements and groovy rhythms that flow effortlessly - each new spin reveals a new layer, until is painted a positive, if somewhat critical, portrayal of modern life. Made possible by collaborative artistry in the age of endless possibilities, the 12 song collection is both a contemplative psychedelic pop odyssey, and a hopeful broadcast from the heart into Outer Space.

Check out the album's tracklist and watch the video for their new single "Long Time (feat. LABRYS)", below.

Hull-based dream pop/psych/shoegaze band Bdrmm have revealed the video for their new single "Port".

The song, produced by Alex Greaves, will be out tomorrow (October 1st) via Sonic Cathedral. Get your copy here.

“‘Port’ is a realisation, created from the depths of insecurity, and knowing changes need to be made, but uncertain how to escape," says the band's Ryan Smith. "It’s claustrophobic. I don’t know how else to describe it. We have been working on this for what feels like an eternity, we’re so glad to finally be able to share what’s been happening with us – sonically as well as personally.”

New Entry: JUJU Premiere New Single "Walk The Line"

Italian psych rock band JuJu, lead by Gioele Valenti, have premiered their new single "Walk The Line".

The song is taken from their album 'La Que Sabe', released on October 22nd via Weird Beard Records. Grab it here.

'Walk The Line' is a hymn to joy after despair, a palingenesis that comes from overcoming a barrier, beyond which the world ascends above matter. Inspired by the Vedanta tradition, which speaks of the veil of Maya, the illusion of time and action, the track aesthetically contemplates a range of genres ranging from the Indie Pop of Mercury Rev and Flaming Lips to the bittersweet darkwave of Placebo and Joy Division. For a night trip on the road illuminated by fiery neon lights!

POND Announce New LP '9', Share New Single/Video "America's Cup"

Australian psychedelic-pop/rock band POND have announced the release of their new album '9'.

The follow-up to 2019's Tasmania, was produced by POND, and mixed by James Ireland & Jay Watson, it will be out on October 1st via Spinning Top Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about the record, bandleader Nick Allbrook said: “We sort of gave ourselves permission to make something stuffed this time. We’d settled into a pretty tight routine with the last few albums and wanted to shake a boat with this so we started off with filling a few tape reels with some absolutely heinous improvised sonic babble which, after much sifting, became the first few songs of the album. We also wanted to up the tempo.”

“The last few albums have a neat little mantra or repetitive theme. If I was forced to find something like that in 9, I guess it would be ‘biography’ or ‘observation’ — a lot of the lyrics seem to focus on single people’s lives, or the lives of small moments or small things when you zoom real close up and they reveal something deeper. Stuff like my cheap Chinese slippers, or a soiled teddy bear, or Agnes Martin (not to put them in the same category, although maybe Agnes would’ve appreciated it). In the Rorschach test of re-reading lyrics, one thing that sticks out is a fixation on leaving behind a time of golden optimism and uncynical abandon. We can’t look at ourselves the same anymore, and the world we’ve built provides a scary lense for viewing our past.”

Of the new single "America's Cup", he said: "The beat makes me think of a New York street strut, Sesame Street style. But it’s about Fremantle before Alan Bond gave the big ball of gentrification its final shove, when it was cheap and harsh and the broken relics of the pre-87 port city were young, groovy cats in a secret idyll wedged between the river and the sea. It’s also about blokes being different versions of whatever the hell we’ve been taught we’re supposed to be."

Check out the full tracklist  and the video for "America's Cup", below.

9 Tracklist:

01. Song For Agnes

02. Human Touch

03. America’s Cup

04. Take Me Avalon I’m Young

05. Pink Lunettes

06. Czech Locomotive 

07. Rambo 

08. Gold Cup / Plastic Sole 

09. Toast

The Horrors Announce New EP 'Lout' Stream Title Track

London based psych rockers The Horrors have announced the release of their new EP 'Lout', and have also shared the heavy title track. 

The 3-track EP will be out March 5th via Wolf Tone/Virgin Music Label & Artist Services. Get your copy here.

“’Lout’ is about the relationship between choice and chance, compulsive risk-taking and pushing your luck,” Faris Badwan explains. “As a band, particularly live, we’ve always had an aggressive side and as we began writing new songs it became clear that we were heading in that direction.”

“In the past whenever we’ve written stuff with a harder edge it’s come from the energy we get from all playing together in a room but creating this kind of atmosphere remotely was a different challenge,” he adds. “It’s the same level of intensity as the 100-miles-an-hour stuff we’ve done in the past but the anger is somehow more channelled. I can’t wait to play these songs live as there’s so much freedom in that kind of chaos.”

“We came to the conclusion that we didn’t need to be making this record for anybody except ourselves,” Rhys Webb continues. “With so many platforms now lost, the pressure to deliver a single for radio or to get on TV just doesn’t exist any more and is probably all the better for it. The only thing we need to worry about is making the most exciting new music we can. We’re lucky enough to have been together for fifteen years and to be working on our sixth studio LP. It seemed like the perfect time to go in guns blazing, no holds barred full on Horrors, the way it should always be.”

Lout EP tracklist:

01. Lout

02. Org

03. Whiplash
