Mordecai Smyth

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

THIS week, we welcome back Mordecai Smyth and Third Lung to the playlist, for both have some new music we want to plonk into your aural cavities.

In Your Dark Place comes from Mordecai’s new album with some awesome sounds well worth listening out for.

And Ghosts won’t leave you afraid of the dark, but it’s certainly better than the B-side status Third Lung tell us it has.

Our mission is to champion and showcase great music from acts that have a connection to Reading and Wokingham (that’s the RaW in our Sounds Today name). Here’s two great bands that prove just how brilliant our music scene is.

To hear this week’s selection, simply head to https://bit.ly/rawsoundstoday and enjoy the music.

There’s also a Facebook page and group chat that bands and music fans can tap into. You can search for RaW Sounds Today and it will come up.

Mordecai Smyth – In Your Dark Place

Here’s the opening track from Things Are Getting Stranger On The Shore, the excellent new album from local musician Mordecai Smyth.

He’s created another album of psych moods and melody on Wokingham-based Mega Dodo Records and it’s well worth a listen. Check out the sax, synth and guitar sounds on this piece.

Third Lung – Ghosts

Playlist faves Third Lung have released a new single that they describe as a B side. It shows the quality of the band if songs like this are considered a B side so we’ll certainly look forward to their new A sides when released.
