Apologies for going AWOL a little over the last week – got swept up in Summer’s last gasp for a minute there. Burrowed back indoors safely now though and in good company thanks to the brilliant clutch of dirty little ditties Memphis mucky popsters Kruxe have slid our way. Try on the love-buzzed, hyperactive tearabout that is “Tremors” for size and then hit the rest of their skewiff jams at your next possible convenience.

Sam M’s Outer Limits Recordings mutant pop project has left enormous meteorite craters in all our favourite spots this week and we’re no different. Try the acid-dipped, cartoon time-travel jingle that is “$20 Dollar Bill” on for size and line your brains for some seriously huge things to follow.

It’s been a little while since the miraculous Magic Kids enchanted our pages but we’re separated no more thanks to this sweet lil’ short for their gleeful, galloping playtime-pop hit Superball , the lead cut from their available everywhere right now go get it what are you waiting for debut LP on True Panther. Memphis Everywhere!

Our boy Mat Cothran AKA Coma Cinema returns from a prolific summer crafting his next LP in South Carolina by dangling the first offering from it in the shape of “Business As Usual”, a slow building, beautifully elegiac song held in place by the hallmark cathartic folk mumblings that made us fall so hard for Stoned Alone. Keep it locked on Wonder Beard Tapes in the coming months for the full-length release details.

Seattle’s Seapony sound like they could have been on a cassette the cops found locked away in Phil Spector’s vault when everything started going wrong. Luckily this is no time capsule band produced at gunpoint but its the simultaneously sunny and sad, jangle-pop romance bundled inside “Dreaming” which gives the track a foggy, warm-hearted and delicately scuffed nostalgia akin to the breezy, honeyed hits of bygone days.

Head on over to their Bandcamp to download the rest of their awesome EP jams.

Hot on the step of the dank, godless Holy Other re-work of How To Dress Well ‘s “Take It On” that we hit you with last week comes this comparatively chipper, shuffling floor-mover of a version from C Powers, the Atlanta-via-London beat-conjurer turning up the heat and dissolving the darkness just a notch.

Pre-order “Ecstasy With Jojo / Take It On” here.

C Powers also has a tape out now under his Termeric guise, through our friends at UUU.

The wonderful Laurel Halo casts some of her epic, outer-limits cosmopop voodoo on the new single by London’s Entrepreneurs spiriting the original into a strangely grandiose not-so-minimal-tech work-out boasting plenty icy sparkle, off-kilter bounce and, most bizarrely (and beautifully), some sporadic submerged stadium guitar firebolts.

“Hunting Roger Rabbit / Six Severed Hates” by Entrepreneurs is out now whilst Laurel Halo is due to release her debut EP through Hippos In Tanks later this year.
