I loved the shit out of “I Love LA”, a slice of scummy retro Glam-Rock, when youthful Los Angeles based quartet Starcrawler dropped it late last year. They’re back, and still mining ’70s sleaze, both musically and visually, with a new single and video titled “Chicken Woman”. The song brings[…]
I can admit it, a lot of the shit I post here tends to be “feel bad music” in one way or another. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to get down with a feel good jam now and then. The Summer season just happens to be the perfect[…]
Is it possible for something to be chilly and sultry at the same time? Because that’s exactly how “1:00AM”, the new single and video from Kentucky bred Shoegaze revivalist Vyva Melinkolya, sounds to me. “1:00AM” is taken from the self-titled full length album she released earlier this year.

I know. I know. I never update the fucking blog and it’s been ages since I did a Monday Magick post! I kinda doubt anybody is even reading any more so my excuses are probably going to fall on deaf ears, but my mental health has been erratic at best[…]
Just in time to be severely late for Valentines Day Brooklyn based Punk quartet Surfbort drops a video dedicated to spreading love, breaking people’s realities open, and taking over corporate America so they can make art, have fun, friendship, and music forever for their brief but infectious new single “Les[…]
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
Kevin Barnes continues to evolve his drag looks in the video for of Montreal’s newest two-in-one jam “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia”. “Paranoiac Intervals/Body Dysmorphia” is the first single from the Athens, Georgia-based Indie-Pop band’s fifteenth studio album ‘White is Relic/Irrealis Mood’ which is out March 9th on Polyvinyl Records. of Montreal
I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the beautiful but creepy video clip for Baroque bedroom Pop act Son Lux’s new single “Slowly”. But the music is haunting in a way that is very typical of Son Lux’s output over the years. “Slowly” is the first[…]
I post a lot of horror-inspired videos but the clip for Chicano Batman’s “Freedom is Free” is horrific in a whole different way. In seeming opposition to the upbeat, almost deceptively care-free, vibe of the song, the video depicts the LA-based foursome undergoing the torture of “enhanced interrogation methods” as[…]
Abandoning the uncharacteristically Gothy New Wave sheen of their last record, “Little Dark Age”, MGMT go for a decidedly more subdued classic Indie-Pop sound while keeping the glum content intact on their snotty new single “When You Die”. I’m not that nice I’m mean and I’m evil Don’t call me[…]
After taking a short break from recording, Psychedelic Pop band MGMT is back. And they’ve apparently traded their new age Psychtronica sound and hipster-cum-hippie image in for dark Electro-Funk grooves and Goth style on their new single “Little Dark Age”. The video sports some creepy, seemingly Giallo and Hammer Horror[…]
Swedish troubadour Jens Lekman drops science — and a little metaphysics — to explain how and why he met his significant other in epic fashion on the discoriffic single “How We Met, The Long Version”. And that’s the story of how we met The long version And you can call[…]
