In case you hadn't noticed I'm also blogging once a week for the New York streetwear brand and all round lover of great new music Mishka. Seriously as well as making some awesome clothes they're also really pushing some great new music, from the whole Witch House scene to the chillwave surfer garage of bands like Puro Instinct.
My column for them "Sounds From the Other Side" is out every Sunday on their blog (the Bloglin) and covers all the kind of stuff I blog about here but I make sure to write it in a bit more detail and don't rush it out as much as I can do here on the Fokkawolfe blog.
This is the link to all the posts I've done for them so far. Where I've written about The Present Moment, Butterclock, §, Drugs For Drunks, Teeth Of The Sea, Scout Klas and Maria Minerva.
(to get an idea of how great some of the Mishka t.shirts are click here!)
Two guitarists, one drummer and hell of a lot of neo psychedelic space jam rock! Velvet Breasts are from Saint-Petersburg, Russia and spin some crazy webs of sound. Incredibly easy to listen to, no hard won hear prizes here its not Wolf Eyes more Teeth Of The Sea. Its scything soundscapes of acid tweets and freak out rock but also some real gentle subtle areas that climb mountains and build little towers of rocks at the top.
Their first record How Does It feel is available to download for free from their Myspace or if you want to take the short cut, from here.
Their current record Ancient Dream can also be downloaded from their Myspace page for free and this link is the shortcut. Though I urge you to go buy the limited edition hand made CD from the TaqueOT Blog.
