Listening Bones is the new upcoming album by eccentric brass marching band Perhaps Contraption. The follow up to their 2010’s debut Sludge & Tripe is slated for a November 3rd release.
Formed originally in Bristol back in 2004 as an avant-rock quartet, Perhaps Contraption moved to London and turned into a frantic and relentless eight piece roving band.
The press release says that “an exuberant and subversive knees-up is guaranteed wherever they roam”. It only takes one listen to be convinced.
Whilst we wait for Listening Bones to drop, head over to their bandcamp to hear a few snippets off it. Now get ready to move your limbs to the lead single ‘Cousin / Grandma’.
We’re only two weeks away from the release of Conner Youngblood‘s somophore album entitled Sketches Pt. 2. Ahead of it, the Dallas based singer songwriter has unveiled a final single, ‘The Warpath’.

Listen to it below and watch out for Conner’s forthcoming album due out on August 28th.
Singer and multi-instrumentalist Diggs Duke released last week a new four-track EP entitled Mass Exodus.
Inspired and mentored by alumni of classic jazz groups, as described in the release blurb, “Diggs Duke combines jazz sensibilities with the R&B, Hip-Hop and Latin music of his 90’s upbringing.”
All the instruments in Mass Exodus were played by Duke himself. Head over to his bandcamp to stream/buy it.
Here’s the EP’s title track to open your ears’ appetite.
John Butler‘s ‘Ocean’ has become a signature track, played time and time again for over a decade now. ‘Ocean’ was first recorded as part of Butler’s first album Searching For Heritage and sold on the streets of his native Freemantle, Australia, where he was busking. The track was then featured in Butler’s self-titled studio album released in 1998.
In the words of John Butler, “Ocean is a very interesting aspect of my life. It is part of my DNA. It conveys all things I can’t put into words. Life, loss, love, spirit. As I evolve so too does ‘Ocean’.
Now the guitarist and singer has re-recorded the 11-minute epic track at ‘The Compound’, his studio in Freemantle and he’s offering it as a free download. Listen to it now.
Last week saw Toronto indie rockers The Natural Shocks drop Kobayashi Maru, a four-track EP named after a technique used in Star Trek.
The EP, written, recorded and mixed by lead member Jim DeLuca, is available to download free or on a pay-what-you-want basis on their bandcamp.
Listen to the catchy EP opener ‘Change’ below.
