The two grew up together in Colorado and have been playing music together for the last six years. Songs are written around Smith's hypnotic guitar work and soft vocals, and fleshed out with Herron's piano and keys". A superb mix of ambient electrolica and cosy Folk, `The Wounded Beat` portrays a picture of overwhelming calmness, the eight track long player summons wide open spaces and infinite social wilderness. I adore the promotional photo above, [...]
Photo Credit Tammy Ealom & John Hill In a bid to get off Santa`s naughty list we`re posting a fine collection of good cheer and musical merriment. Indeed a seasonal first for mojophenia and some say, a desperate ploy to get what we want for Christmas this year. This quest will become many stocking sized posts but as always be sure to check out the artists a little further than the free download. Denver based Dressy Bessy starts the audio snowball rolling. A holiday release complete with jangly keys and festive bells. Wonderfully laid back vocals, [...]
"Take a yacht ride in space, with the new Big Fresh record blasting out of the portholes. More hooks than an android can compute. Post-modern pop formations. Sleek wave of swirling harmonies, horns and electronic bliss. Humming like a child with a crystal radio". Big Fresh : Rumours Learn More And Buy Courtesy Of Fanatic Promotion The gorgeous clatter of a wayward piano and deep soulful horns, `Rumours` is a pure blend of jazzy Pop and movie-Soul drenched in glorious technicolor. Orchestrated [...]

It wasn't until other projects outside Mojophenia restricted the amount of time I allowed for reading promotional Emails that I realised there was only a small percentage of Publicity People sending me something I might like to hear, let alone mailing it in a format which was already easily constructed and ultimately Blog friendly. Being forced to let the music submissions steadily mount up over a three week period gave me a little time to pick out the guys who are proved to be the most consistent and 99/100 times groovy. First on my list and in no particular order [...]
"The Boom Bang is comprised of a group of young friends from suburban Oklahoma City that play loud, fun music. Creating a combination of garage, surf and punk music not unlike Ty Segall, Jeff The Brotherhood or Thee Oh Sees, the foursome of James Smith (Vocals), Tommy McKenzie (Guitar), Weston Lorance (Bass), and Charles Whetstone (Drums) has been playing together for two years. In that time, the band has managed to work their way onto festival performances at South By Southwest, DFest, the Norman Music Festival, and the Neon Reverb Music Festival. With one national release under their belt through [...]
In a kind of sadistic way we`re enjoying the current chaos of England`s sudden freakish and wonderfully extreme weather conditions. Even the seasonal stress associated with this weeks Christmas holidays fails to dent our resolve through this winter chill - For us to post audio merriment is unusual, in fact a December rarity. The Poly Styrene Kahn remix continues to drum up important interest in her eagerly awaited Spring album release, i`m pretty sure the original mix is still freely available from Poly`s site. The Boca Chica festive ditty is lifted from Dublin`s Indiecator Records 2010 Christmas compilation, [...]
"When it came to live performance, Depth & Current's show augmented the intensity of the music with an equally intense visual experience. The band's low tech (but still effective) light and fog show was always part of the mix up until the time that hundreds of feet of extension cords were littering the stage, creating a liability for venues and their sensitive breaker boxes". "Enter the fifth and final member of Depth & Current, Joey Powell, who now runs the more [...]
"Devil You're a Liar, which weaves together chopped up samples, guitar riffs, electronic waves also includes an eclectic take on Pink Floyd's Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.'Devil' is catching the eyes of electronic, dance and jazz fans alike. They've just premièred a visually striking video for the Pink Floyd cover which was done in true DIY fashion with cinematographer Joel Lipton. A remix by Buff Roshi themselves takes the cool tone of This Is How It Goes up a few notches, straight to a jungle house dance floor". [...]
"Organica, the debut full-length album by Charlottesville, Virginia's Trees On Fire, takes listeners from the heights of the ancient Blue Ridge Mountains to the buzzing swamps and bayous of the bottom-land. The exciting original music captured on the album is only a part of the legacy the group hopes to leave behind as Trees On Fire's members are all deeply embedded in environmental preservation activities". Musicians taking a moral approach can sometimes be seen as overtly sceptical, an array of peace badges pinned to dusty lapels [...]

New Music | Black Moth Super Rainbow And so it was. What goes around comes around. First band to regrace (no it's not a word, but you know it should be) the pages of NMB is, who'd have thunk it, Black Moth Super Rainbow. Slightly less mind boggling than Happy Melted City, Iron Lemonade is a huge track. Imagine Air with John Bonham on drums and Aeroplane on synths. Epic.
