LONG DEER IS A W E S O M E AND LONG

If you've yet to experience the majestic, rag-tagness of Manchester's Salford Media City, then you really need to check this video out sharpish. The (occasionally) 8+ strong band are already the city's best kept secret, playing the kind of ramshackle, white-kids doing p-funk wickedness that made the early 'Mondays such an interesting prospect. Long Deer IS Awesome, and long, and this video is both of those things too (*apart from not being very long).

NEW MUSIC // PROPHETS OF SINNERMAN

We don't know much about these Prophets of Sinnerman guys apart from they've got a weird name.. What we do know is they're making some of the raddest dark, psychedelic, trance-pop we've heard so far this year. There's just 4 songs and 2 vids to go at presently and no sign of any gigs but at BV we're hoping we might get to see them play soon...exciting stuff

GOATBOY LIVES....

Very much digging this today. Dirty psychedelic afro-funk grooves and a hyperbolic press release that shows you how these things should go down:

Goat are a collective who hail from a small and very remote village called Korpolombolo in deepest darkest Sweden.
Legend has it that for centuries, the inhabitants of the village of Korpolombolo were dedicated to the worship and practices of Voodoo.
This strange and seemingly unlikely activity was apparently introduced into the area after a travelling witch doctor and a handful of her disciples were led to Korpolombolo by following a cipher hidden within their most sacred of ancient scriptures.
The reason it led them there is unknown, but their Voodoo influence quickly took hold over the whole village and so they made it their home - there, they were able to practice their craft unnoticed and unbothered for several centuries.
This was until their non-Christian ways were discovered by the Church and they were burned out by the crusaders, the survivors cursing the village over their shoulders as they fled.
To this day, the now picturesque village of Korpolombolo is still haunted by this Voodoo curse; the power of the curse can be felt throughout the grooves of Goat
