To celebrate our downloads working again we thought we would re-post our best of the month mix from October - more than 20 great tracks selected from our October posts and six new ones too. This time you can download and dive in. Download The Minks – Araby mp3 (from Araby 7″) Endearingly gloomy slice of indie-pop. Download The Bloody Hollies – Dirty Sex mp3 (from Yours Until The Bitter End) The dark side of raw garage punk with touches of organ, violin and xylophone. Download Bare Bones – Hope [...]
Some albums are suited for the freeing sunshine while others make more sense under the guise of perpetual rain and overcast mind. London duo Savaging Spires' self titled debut fits the latter. Check out "Apostrophe Lake" and "Bending The Rules Of Time" to see if this is your destination. http://criticalheights.com/ http://savagingspires.bandcamp .com/

A couple days late this week, but The Graboid is up and open for business with the week's new releases. It's my intention to get this up on the actual album release day, but I've been a bit busy. Hopefully, things will get back to normal starting next week, but who knows! Anyways, two big hitters top the list of new releases with Björk's Biophilia which she describes as "a multi-media project encompassing music, apps, internet, installations and live shows." It's an intriguing concept, but I've yet to tackle this one outside of listening [...]
Critical Heights released the long anticipated self-titled debut of mysterious London duo, Savaging Spires yesterday. The album is a wonderful exercise in haunted, ambient folk, drone and hazy melancholia. By way of celebration the band have given up a new track, the twinkling, sunlit Apostrophe Lake . You can buy the album from Boomkat here .

Qua verpakking bestond er in september geen betere dan release Bridges , maar er was deze maand nog veel meer te beleven. Om even bij platen te blijven die vanwege het artwork opvallen, pik ik er Life Sux van Wavves uit. Het lo-fi zwart-wit hoesje, versierd met een omgekeerd kruis en een pentagram beloofd misschien meer dan het waarmaakt. Enfant terrible Nathan Williams is namelijk - wat later dan gebruikelijk - op weg naar volwassenheid en dat heeft z'n weerslag op de gruizige punk waar hij op bekend staat. Het klinkt vandaag de dag nogal [...]
"Psychedelic pastoralism" - that's how record label Critical Heights neatly summarises its new London charges Savaging Spires . The phrase is perfect: this is the music of crazed circuses careering down country lanes; of peaty cottages filled with firewood and dead bodies; of mistakes in muddy haystacks; of begrizzled farmers and questionable ancestries; and yes, of The Wicker Man. Theirs is a kind of spooked folk, witch house with cowbells. A debut album is due sometime this autumn. Bending The Rules Of Time by Savaging Spires Savaging Spires - Bending The Rules Of Time [...]
We posted back in May about mysterious UK duo Savaging Spires and their spooky mix of freakish aicd-folk and psychedelic drone. Recently we received a copy of their self-titled debut album on vinyl which is a lovely object in itself, and a few plays has revealed plenty more delights too. There's is a world of twilight and shadowy murmurs, of glimpses of overgrown country houses where old ghosts can walk imparting doses of dread and joy - part ambience, part melody, and sometimes choral, it feels spontaneous and shadowy in equal parts. Songs range [...]
There is a tribal element to the music of Savaging Spires. Tribal not in the sense of native music, but one more along the lines of tUnE-YarDs or Norwegian Arms. "Bending The Rules Of Time" is an audible vision quest, packed with peyote-inspired chant-like harmonies, an array of non-traditional instruments performed in what could be an impromptu campfire session held by the musically insane. Savaging Spires, then, would absolutely fit the experimental folk mold. "Bending The Rules Of Time", the opening track off their self-titled LP, is equally dark [...]
London duo Savaging Spires are releasing their debut soon, and you can listen to a track from it here. Their self-titled album is out on October 11 through Critical Heights and you can listen to the brilliantly warped, melodic, bell filled opener, 'Bending the Rules of Time', right here: 'Bending the Rules of Time'
Savaging Spires From: London, England Freak folk with the emphasis on the freak. Savaging Spires sound like they're from an alternative dimension where religion has been replaced by music and Bending The Rules of Time is the call to worship. I'm hooked. Go Try Savaging Spires - Bending The Rules Of Time by savagingspires [...]
Here are the juiciest cuts from our May postings rounded up and presented as one marvellous mix plus a couple of cracking new tracks as well. Be sure to check out all our previous 'Best Of the Month' mixes in the sidebar too. Download Country Mice – Morning Son mp3 (from Twister) Country rock and blistering sonic experiments combining to deliver a brilliant apocalyptic ballad. Download Howling Owls – Hay Fever mp3 (from When Tipsy Turns Somber EP) Deliciously ominous folk music that creeps from the edges of [...]
We know very little about Savaging Spires - their e-mail to us had no information other than a request to listen to a track, Bending The Rules For Brian . We did, firstly, who wouldn't listen to a song with a title like that, and secondly it is taken from their debut eponymous album which is due out in September on Critical Heights - this is the UK label who count MM faves Wooden Wand on their roster of artists. And the song? It is a suitably spooky slice of [...]
