Last time I was in Cape Town I had the privilege of witnessing Mind Pool live. It was a deeply satisfying experience to hear a live set that sounded even better than their great material on Soundcloud account. You honestly have to see this band live to get the full experience. You can feel the creativity and fun emanate from the stage in their music. The drummer is as tight a bolt in a german engine block. The bassist is so much more than thick strings through some pedals, he plays live synths that melt into your ears like a Lindt chocolate. Lets not forget the main vocals which are consistent and sound effortless.

Mind Pool is definitely a band to look out for on the South African scene. Download their latest soundcloud upload for mahala before its too late!

Radio Moscow – Broke Down

Your monday blues will be vanquished by the trippy sounds of Radio Moscow today. This Psych Rock outfit really has their sound going for them 100%. You can really hear the performance elements of the music in their recordings. It’s like listening to them live in your living room. It’s probably because they’re an artist coming from Alive Naturalsound, a group that has recorded the raw sounds of early Black Keys songs. Enjoy, day trippers.
