Brooklyn based experimental pop rock quartet Conveyor are set to release their self-titled debut full-length on July 17th via Paper Garden Records.
The album will be available digitally, on CD and on 12″ vinyl and pre-order is now available here.
The 11-track eponymous album includes the shiny single ‘Mane’, posted here last month. ‘Mukraker’ is another single previously released that you’ll find on the album. Enjoy it!
Johnny5thWheel&thecowards, the Manchester based experimental folk pop collective led by ‘Johnny’ aka Richard Lomax, are set to release a double A-side single, ‘Nancy’/’My Laboratory’, from their forthcoming second album.
According to the issued press release, “‘Nancy’ is a fantastical dream of a girl possessed by a dream of a possibly fictional world. It’s a spirallic sketch of musical obsession and shifting lyrical rhythms, composed with Hitchcockian grandeur and Ennio Morricone landscaping.”
The other A-side, ‘My Laboratory’, is inspired and partly dedicated to storytellers Tom Waits and Thomas Truax.
‘Nancy’/’My Laboratory’ will drop on June 25th via Sotones Records and the new album is due out in September. Listen to both tracks below.
