The year is halfway over! Not sure if that is a cause for celebration, or just a fact, but exclamation marks are always welcomed in my writing (by me, at least). Anyway, hope you Canadians enjoyed your Canada Day. Now,...
The often featured and somewhat mysterious Brooklyn band Glass Gang have a new track for your listening pleasure. You might have heard (or should make an effort to hear) tracks The Fall, Set It All, and Broken. We now have...
Dan Auerbach’s non-Black Keys project, The Arcs, have dropped another new song off of their September 4 album. The album is called Yours, Dreamily (how I end all of my emails) and the song is called Outta My Mind (the...
We’ve been hyping Vaults since 2013, when they first dropped Cry No More on us. After a series of other great songs, such as Vultures and Poison, the band have come full circle with the release of their Cry No...
We’ve featured Cape Town, South Africa’s Petite Noir (his parents call him Yannick Ilunga) a couple of times, and not just because Cape Town is one of the best cities I have ever been to. His tracks Chess and Shadows...
Irish rock instrumentalists, God Is An Astronaut, return with a new album and a new song for us to lose our thoughts in. Both the song and album are called Helios Erebus, which just rolls off the tongue. New track...
Brand new stuff from past PHM interviewees, Editors. The band continue their slight rock departure, with another track in similar mood and instrumentation to that as In This Light and On This Evening. The new track is called Marching Orders...
Foals have our number. Now they have our attention, with a new album announcement for What Went Down. Now I wanna know – what DID go down? They also dropped the title track for What Went Down. What DID go...
The oft-featured indie band Vaults have a new EP and a new song from the Cry No More EP. You’ve already heard Cry No More (like, back in 2013); time to sink your ears (which isn’t an expression) into Losing...
One of the best albums of 2015 is by Josh Tillman, aka Father John Misty. Today, he drops a new video for the title track from this album, I Love You Honeybear. Perhaps not the video you would expect from...
Beck’s Morning Phase phase is over. Welcome back ‘Party Beck’. After teasing some artwork and a song snippet, genre-hopping artist (and recent Album of the Year Grammy winner) artist Beck has returned with a dreamy, dancey new song called Dreams....
Some new stuff from sister folk trio The Staves. Following up posted tracks Steady, and Black & White comes Teeth White, which is not a toothpaste advert. The video is filmed in a bar room, one of my favourite rooms...
Dan Auerbach dropped a gem of a solo album, just as the Black Keys were breaking through to the mainstream. His album flew a bit under the radar, as the Keys did back then. He now has a new band...
We’ve featured UK duo Aquilo quite a lot on these pages, probably more times than I’ve exercised in the past year. It’s hard not to feature them, when they drop songs like last year’s I Gave It All, and most...
Apologies for the lack of posts the past week – I’ve been sort of sick. Anyway, enough with the bad news, let’s talk good news. CFCF, who have featured many times on these pages, return with a bit of a...
