Cursing The Sea, the debut album from Ireland’s September Girls, is a dark kaleidoscope of echoey drums, buzzsaw bass, angular guitars and reverb-drenched vocals that blends garage rock and post-punk to extraordinary effect.
After recently announcing his new album Salad Days, Mac DeMarco is back today to share the album’s second single. Whereas Salad Days as a whole is a more serious, contemplative affair than his previous releases, “Brother” finds Mac more sincere than we’ve seen him to date. It’s an earworm that you’ll be hard-pressed to get out of your head any time soon. In addition to the new track, Mac has also announced a new 7″ subscription series, available exclusively through Captured Tracks, called “The Wonderful World of Mac DeMarco, Vol. 1″. The series will offer subscribers a 7″ of previously unreleased Mac DeMarco every 6-8 weeks, in addition to other Mac-related goodies. More info on the program available at the Captured Tracks site. Check out “Brother” along with all of Mac’s upcoming live dates below.

“We wanted to create a scenario to fit with the songs. So we decided it could be a journey into space. A silent hunt for something else. We always end up seeing our albums as small films. And Portico:would definitely be our little space saga.
It’s a bit of a spiritual album. I want to get connected to nothingness” says Philip Ekström.
Inspired heavily by science fiction and an obsession with old photography books, The Mary Onettes release the grand Portico: on March 4. If their two first albums were dramas, last year’s Hit The Waves was an adventure film then Portico: is their own space odyssey.
