>> Like Tom Waits , art-pop concern Mahogany keep getting weirder while staying the same (to whit, Wikipedia describes the once-octet thusly: "an electric music-based multidisciplinary media ensemble currently working in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and other locations"). After only faint rumors and dead-ends in regards to the follow-up to their massive, brilliant and still misunderstood 2006 album Connectivity! , the band has finally released a new song. And it's a doozy, too. "Phase Break" is an eight-minute cycle of beats, choruses, and synths that incorporates elements of [...]

We hereby begin the very belated countdown of Song, by Toad's favourite albums of 2012. As I alluded to before, family issues prevented me publishing this in my usual slot between Christmas and New Year, so the end of January will have to do. Actually, if I were to try and spin this I think I'd make a play for the moral high ground by pointing out how ludicrous it is to publish a Best Of list in early fucking November, and that therefore my list must be far superior because I have sensibly waited until the year [...]

As 2012 comes to an end, the 20JFG creatures gather the runes that animated the year, and scatter them grimly across the courtyard of their decrepit castle. They examine the shapes thus created, and attempt to read in them the meaning of the year that was, discern the silhouette and decrypt the wail of the mythical creature that is its logical conclusion, and the blueprint for the its future evolution. Which is? Hard to tell from the mists of history unfolding. The sting of an scorpion with which hope is forlorn and we all drown, or a crack in the cocoon from where a [...]
I've been looking at & admiring plenty of end of year lists. Alan at Bitzl R in particular did a stellar job of tying up each of 2012's quarters with superb playlists. I was part of PORTALS ' yearly round-ups where my own writing paled in comparison to others more enthusiastic than myself. And in the most recent DIY Magazine we crowned a rightful winner in Liars for album of the year. I actually hadn't planned on doing any end of year stuff on MFM. I'm just a little low on food, pumped [...]

Earlier this year, Cold Pumas guitarist and Faux Discx label-boss Dan Reeves released a debut solo album under the name The Soft Walls. The self-titled record was a delightful blend of Krautrock-ish loops and minimalist noise rock comparable to the likes of Deerhunter that was so impressive that Tough Love also offered to release it. Today sees a brand new song from the Brighton-based musician and, as you'd expect, it's bloody ace. 'Never Come Back Again' (again comparable to the work Bradford Cox) slowly builds like a developing polaroid snap - electro din and [...]

This morning we encourage you to discover the Scottish trio, Hiva Oa; and listen to choice selections from the likes of Cold Pumas, The Deadline Shakes, Popular Culture, Port Isla, and TEEPEE. DISCOVER: HIVA OA Hiva Oa is a three piece outfit out of Edinburgh who use of minimalism and mood creates tracks that are intensely gripping. Their experimental post-rock sound is driven through adept integration of bass, cello, guitar, clever bits of piano, and [...]

There’s been a lot of buzz about Cold Pumas in the UK lo-fi/DIY scene; the release of their album has been very highly anticipated by certain circles, perhaps so much so that the band have stated in an interview with The Stool Pigeon that they’d prefer not to be lumped in with the displays of ‘dude’ style that many of their contemporaries choose to portray. It’s a fear that’s completely understandable; being constricted to the expectations of a specific image might prevent the rabid masses from understanding your [...]

@ColdPumas @FAUXDISCX Género: Punk, kraut pop. No hace ni un mes que comentaba por aquí sobre las intenciones de la tripleta de Brighton. Persistent Malaise , su estreno de largo, circula desde el 5 de noviembre y como nos anticipaban con Fog Cutter , su estilo es claro, cajas de hojalata que te perforan el cortex, propuesta punk pero de largo recorrido, canciones con las que experimentan (no se que tienen que me recuerdan a Deerhunter ), vocales que no se [...]

Se titulará Persistent Malaise está previsto para el 5 de noviembre y nos adelantan la percutora Fog Cutter . Un viaje hacia ningún lado, persistente (quizás de ahí el título del disco), con aroma pop y punk a partes iguales, la voz atraviesa las [...]
Cold Pumas are from Brighton, a mythical land of candy-cane piers and spoiled childhoods. They've invested in a reverb pedal, made some friends at a record label and are releasing their debut Lp 'Persistent Malaise' any day now. You should buy it. So they can buy a van and come play near your house. In your home-town. And skulk around your estate smoking Malboro reds and trashing your recycling bins.
Brighton's Cold Pumas are set to release their debut album Persistent Malaise on 5 November via Faux Discx/Gringo Records/Italian Beach Babes.

Cold Pumas have finally announced details of their debut album. The Brighton band will release Persistent Malaise on November 5th via Faux Discx/Gringo Records/Italian Beach Babes, and you can hear the brilliant lead track, 'Fog Cutter', below.

The recovery in the title of this podcast is down to the fact that I actually managed to spend a full, undisrupted week in the office last week. Whilst that is a ludicrously banal thing to be celebrating, getting things back on the rails, or at least moderately close to being back on the rails, does feel like something of a relief at this stage. The accounts desperately need doing as well, which is another little rock 'n' roll tidbit for you. I can keep this up all day - there's loads more fascinating little insights where this [...]
