Graveyard Train - One Foot in the Grave [Hollow, 2012]

Melbourne-based Graveyard Train surprised a little with their new album. This song, in particular, is a big step from the more sombre, folk-influenced male choral/ratting chains of their previous...all the better as far as I'm concerned!

MARIA & THE MIRRORS - Gemini: Enjoy My Life

The first time I heard this it felt like being sucked out of a plane with a pair of carnival speakers strapped to my head- you really do need the vinyl instead of crappy computer speakers, for the stomach-punching bass, tho. One of the best things to come out of London in ages, and the label, Exotic Pylon, hosts a weekly radio show on the underfunded Resonance FM - sadly, a real minority when it comes to UK radio now.

Miserylab - Children of the Poor

Catchy, dancy, political - what more does anyone need? The last two years of 'austerity' in an incendiary mix of drums, bass and the the sublime voice of Mr King. The best, end of ;)
