Disasterpeace : A Talk With Rich Vreeland

I’d say it was probably a year and a half ago on a Sunday morning I happened across this little documentary called ‘Indie Game: The Movie’. It was a great little doc about the struggles of independent video game developers and everything they go through to create their art. One of the games they featured […]

Built To Spill’s “Living Zoo”

Featured image taken by Stephen Gere When I heard that Built To Spill were releasing a new album this year I was ecstatic. I was late to the Built To Spill party, but once I got there I was doing metaphorical beer bongs and planning my new beard I was going to grow in […]

A Minor Detour

Hello. How’d the weekend go? You did what? Why you dirty bugger, you. How can you even look at yourself in the mirror after that sort of behavior. You’re an adult. You know better than to do those sorts of things. You know, I’m not sure we can hang out anymore. Just,…just grab your things […]

Metavari’s Moonless Journey

by E.A. Poorman Metavari are a group of friends and Fort Wayne, Indiana natives that make the kind of music you can simply get lost in. It has a dream-like quality to it that allows you to let the outside world disappear for a little while as you become enveloped in their hazy electric piano, […]

A Place To Bury Strangers : Transfixiation

Transfixiation is the best album A Place To Bury Strangers have made. That’s not to say anything that came before it wasn’t worthy of hurting our ears. But this time around Oliver Ackermann has given the already harsh, dark sound he creates something it really needed: a groove. It’s not all about the numbing squall […]

Night Flights : Night Flights Vol.1

I was minding my business(as usual) a couple of weeks ago when I get an email from across the pond. The pond being the Atlantic Ocean, in case you were confused. So this email was from a trusted confidant and fellow music-obsessive. We’ll call him Mr. 1537. He proceeds to tell me about a record […]

The Dodos : Individ

The Dodos have been doing their thing now for a few years. It seems like we’ve gone from their 2008 album Visiter to their new album Individ in the blink of an eye. I know that’s not the case, as Meric Long and Logan Kroeber have put out some truly great music in the years […]

The Need For Speed

Year’s ’94 and my trunk is raw In my rear view mirror is the motherfucking law – Shawn Carter Okay, actually the year wasn’t ’94, it was ’88. 1988 to be exact. It was the last day of my 8th grade year and my mom picked me up from school. We only went a half […]

Jonas Munk : Absorb Fabric Cascade

Jonas Munk has very few contemporaries exploring aural landscapes in quite the same way that he does. He seems to create musical canvases that are labyrinthine in scope; yet still as intimate as a warm embrace. His first solo outing, Pan, was warm and bubbling. It floated along a cloud of analog synth chugs and […]

John Carpenter : Lost Themes

John Carpenter colored at least two generations’ dreams in burnt fall hues. Faded browns, oranges, yellows, and reds, topped with gray, overcast skies bled into our psyche and made us re-imagine Halloween in a whole new way. In a way where the fear we felt walking down the sidewalk in our Darth Vader costume holding […]
