Hey there, it’s Millar here again to dip into music’s great past and give you all another classic album/group to check out. This time around it’s The Band. Yes, the band’s name is “The Band”. Got that? Ok. It always...
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...
We haven’t heard too much from horn-filled band Beirut lately. We saw them at Field Day in London in 2012, and a couple of videos from their excellent last album, and that’s the last of it. Good news – the...
You know the drill – a new month, a new letter from your landlord saying the rent is late – but, a new monthly playlist from PeteHatesMusic to make you forget all of your troubles. We select 9 great tracks...
PHM favourites Django Django continue to drop new stuff from recent sophomore release Born Under Saturn. The band previously topped our Best of 2012 album charts, and also released new songs First Light, Reflections and Beginning to Fade. The UK...
More gorgeous stuff from UK duo Aquilo. They nearly topped our Songs of 2014 list with I Gave It All. They have also given us gems such as Losing You and more recently Better Off Without You. The track is...
When I first discovered Icona Pop, they were an unknown indie pair, making quirky and innovative electronic-tinged tracks such as Manners and their entire Iconic EP. I even caught them in a small pub in London 3 years ago as...
Daniel Johns is beginning stage 3 of his musical metamorphosis. The Aussie singer fronted 90s-00s grunge (and later somewhat experimental) rock band Silverchair. He then teamed with Paul Mac for stage 2, in the band The Dissociatives. Stage 3 is...
