Think a mix between Hot Chip's vocalist Alexis Taylor and Siouxsie Sioux (from Siouxsie and the Banshees) and you'll land pretty close to Abbe May's sound on this track from her forthcoming album due out this May. Love the fade out on this track as well. Soundcloud / Website Video: Press Release: After experimenting for a solid year with a mellotron and drum machine, 'T.R.O.U.B.L.E' was combined with a throbbing electro pulse, reverb-drenched vocals, and haunting background falsetto.

Two new videos for songs recently featured on the Dig have come out and I wanted to give them soem attention, because they're both awesome. "Little Metal Baby Fist" from The Dirty Nil and "Karmageddon" by Abbe May are just a click away!

Hey y’all! I’m baaaaaaackkkk! Does that scare you? It should because I’ve had a lot of time on my hands, so I hope you have a lot on yours. ...

Back in Medieval times it was common for Italian peasants to eat their meals on slices of bread rather than use ceramics (I think I heard that it was the guys turn to do the dishes and he became so incensed that he would have to work after eating his food that he decided they should serve small toasts instead). This is believed to be where the idea of crostini started. Taking a cue from my forefathers, I was absolutely swamped with a sink full of dishes due to Thanksgiving so I decided that until the sink was [...]

Australian singer songwriter Abby May turns all end of the world with her new album Kiss My Apocalypse , which is set to release April 2013. The album’s first single “Karmagedden” is a shadowy feat of veiled affection with beautiful sultry vocals and wise sassier-than-thou lyrics. Although the track is a bit of a departure from her usual ruckus of shrieking guitars and bluesy rock, May smoothly delves into the realm of doom pop femme fatale and really captures a dark and elusive come-hither vibe that is worth checking out. By Erin Feathers [...]

An abbreviated edition from the road this morning has sights and sounds from Abbe May, Sufjan Stevens, and Wake Owl. Enjoy! LISTEN Abbe May - "Karmageddon" from Kiss My Apocalypse out April 2013 This single was released early this week, and it's a bit of a departure from Western Australia's guitar-toting siren. Karmageddon is darker, almost noirish, with an intense electronic vibe. Check out the video below. [...]

MUSIC REVIEW: Kate Tucker - Ghost of Something New EP (Noise Trade) - I'm going to tell all you manly men types with your new mustaches and hippie cologne. You would not want to leave this girl for fear she'd write a killer song which on first listen would turn you into a puddle of salt. So fair warning. Lucky for you she mixes it up a bit on her most recent EP but still delivers sultry alt country angel tinged vocals that are truly aspirational. The shining light of alt-rock maybe. You can be brave [...]

The Indiecision ’11 is a recap of the year gone by in Indian indie and a recognition of the work of its artists and those involved with the creation and promotion of the music. The Best Song International is the best song released by an international artist from a debut album released in 2011. '2122 Azealia Banks Here is a grimey dance tune that takes ‘grime’ to heart. Azealia Banks is a pied-piper, charming you with her [...]

Commercial sellouts /swashbuckling rock 'n roll badasses The Black Keys recently released their seventh studio album, El Camino .

Hopefully this week's edition of Monday Music - the one weekly post on this blog that's not solely about London-based music - is early enough to please my dear cousin Georgia Harrison. The Antlers - Every Night My Teeth Are Falling Out This begins with the weather-beaten, exhausted feel of a boat that's finally reached calmer water after hours on choppy seas; but gradually it builds to fully febrile anger, as if the tension is there for good. I like to think the title refers to uncontrollable, brain-bending dreams, something we all suffer from time to [...]
