Co Co Ri Co

Athens, Georgia has proved a veritable gold mine for us in the last few weeks..... First there was the psychadelic nob twiddling of Sunspots then the pop lanscaping of Qurius and now Co Co Ri Co.
The band consists of Andrew McFarland(drums), William Kennedy(keys, glockenspiel), Parks Miller(bass), and Addison Adams(vocals, guitar) are influenced by anything from African traditional music to American hardcore.
Live they like to rearrange their songs, changing speeds and parts culminating in one epic coherrent piece. Much like an episdoe of Lost that had a meaning.

Black Mountain - Old Fangs


Here's the trippy new vid from Canada's Black Mountain.

More than a hint of a Electra Glide in Blue, Easy Rider going on here and with some Kenneth Anger style occult love action thrown in for good measure...not that there is anything wrong with that!

Pigeons - Wrong Man


If you ever find yourself wishing the music on the Wicker Man soundtrack was by a real band, and that that band would follow you round minstrel like, single file through your life forever sound-tracking your trials and tribulations, Pigeons debut album Si Faustine could satisfy your dirty pagan urges.

Sultry Olde English lady vocals lead the charge as all around them archaic instrumentation pounds and pomps its way through some pretty impressive psych folk.

The album is out now on Brooklyn based Olde English Spelling Bee and here's a track for your aural pleasure (and download) courtesy of those fine folks.

RIP Charlie & The Moonhearts -- Long Live Moonhearts



West Coast Beach Beat group Charlie & The Moonhearts have now become simply Moonhearts, and they'll be releasing a great LP on indie label Tic Tac Totally come 9th August.

Anyone who dug on their Tally Ho endorsed single Real Hot Breakers will not be disappointed by the sounds to come. They come on like Sunset Strip era Love with both shoes firmly on, harmonies crash in and out as wild drum fills colour the quiet corners of songs such as I Said, whilst Eat My Shorts is, despite the dumb title, a pretty tight little DC Hardcore/Garage rock hybrid for all the fake Black Flag fans out there to dribble over...

Here's a stream of I Said for a taster...Just when you think you're done with Garage rock, Moonhearts come along and make you wonder why you'd ever need anything else...

Sunspots - Special Secrets





Sunspots is the brand new real world incarnation of Georgian Will Weber's bedroom recording project.

Influenced in it's tiered complexities by anything from the Flaming Lips, The Who and Dr. Dog to more recent envied experimentalists Animal Collective and Oberhofer. This track Special Secrets is so good, we'd like to keep it as just that. Locked up in the Tally Ho vault for our own listening.

But with Will describing the music thus...' The feeling of the songs is very grounded in a love for a nice psychedelic romp outside with your best friends', it's probably best we let this one out, I mean i love a psychedelic romp as much as the next man
