Taken from the forthcoming ‘Crystal Cafe’ album, ‘Pitiless’ is one of those cut to the chase songs, that sets out it’s agenda within seconds. The song has an instant punk feel to it, although it is far more than that. Vocals are buried in the mix, occasionally rising and pulsating along with the instruments. It’s… Continue reading Witching Waves at Beehive Candy

Witching Waves at Philthy Mag

Witching Waves at Stereogum
Witching Waves hail from London and make ruminating post-punk with subtle pop sensibilities. The band’s sophomore album, Crystal Cafe, is due out this month and follows last year’s Fear Of Falling Down. “Flowers” initiates with the slow pitter-patter of a bassline and evolves into a proclamation of half-assed yearning. “I don’t miss it/ I don’t… Continue reading Witching Waves at Stereogum

Antlered Aunt Lord at Pop! Stereo
The oddly named Antlered Aunt Lord is as shambolic and weird as their name might imply. Led by the one and only member, Jesse Stinnard, AAL is a crazy chaotic mess of a solo project. Stinnard is a hap hazard artist who cranks out songs as if doing so was as involuntary as breathing. I’m… Continue reading Antlered Aunt Lord at Pop! Stereo
Marshmallow Coast at Pop! Stereo
Despite the exceptionally cheesy cover art for Marshmallow Coast’s new album, Vangelis Rides Again is really quite good. This former member (Andy Gonzales) of Of Montreal and Music Tapes has always brought some fantastic stuff to the indie pop table and this album is no different. And while the record looks like some sort of… Continue reading Marshmallow Coast at Pop! Stereo
Bunnygrunt at Pop! Stereo
I have to admit when the new Bunnygrunt album showed up and it looked like Black Sabbath’sVolume 4 I was really, really hoping they did a twee pop cover record of the metal classic. I wasn’t disappointed that they didn’t because the songs that actually make up their version ofVolume 4 are pretty darn strong… Continue reading Bunnygrunt at Pop! Stereo
