Causa Sui Returns November 13th With ‘Szabodelico’; Listen To “La Jolla”

It’s been almost three years since we’ve heard from Causa Sui, the Danish four-piece powerhouse that hail from Odense, Denmark. That album, 2017s Vibraciones Doradas, was a tight but heavy follow-up to the behemoth that was Return To Sky. Five tracks of hazy psych and heady rock that would end that year on a very […]

Rupert Lally : Where The Dark Speaks

When I was a kid Stephen King was a huge part of my adolescence. I had a King library at my disposal located in my mom and dad’s closet. Tucked away in the top shelf next to dad’s dress shoes and boxes of ancient Polaroids and Instamatic photos was a collection of tattered old paperbacks. […]

Hans Zimmer and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

I know that the consensus is that out of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises is the worst out of the lot. Hell, I’m guilty of thinking that too after I watched it in 2012. At the time it felt kind of portly in story and scenery, and there was talk of some […]

Jeff Tweedy : Love Is The King

I had a dream on the last night of our family vacation that I went to Chicago to see a Jeff Tweedy concert. But it wasn’t the usual show in a theater or auditorium. I went to the Tweedy home and was hanging out with Jeff, Sue, his sons Spencer and Sammy, as well as […]

Andy Fosberry : Blair, Maryland

We try to take a family vacation once a year, and quite a few of those vacations over the last ten years have been spent in the deep, sublime woods of Brown County located in southern Indiana. We just returned from that yearly jaunt, this year taking reprieve from the horrors of 2020 in the […]

Kuma : Time Makes Memory Of Us All

Kuma’s musical world on Time Makes Memory Of Us All is a curious one indeed. It feels as if Kuma, a Canadian producer/DJ, is opening a portal to some strange world that’s grappling with a fight between the organic and the synthetic. Moving away from his dubstep roots, Kuma dabbles in the world of ambient […]

Step Out Of Reality With The Psychic Circle; Listen To “View From The Magicians Window Part 1”

UK-based record label Library Of The Occult has been offering up dark, synth-driven music since its introduction this past summer. New music from Dream Division, Ogre, and Timothy Fife has delved into classic Gothic literature, occult themes, D&D, and contact with worlds beyond our own. LOTO has made it its mission to keep the spirit […]

Metz : Atlas Vending

METZ have been making angular swaths of post-punk noise for a few years now. Over the course of three full-lengths and a handful of EPs and singles, the Canadian trio of guitarist and vocalist Alex Edkins, bassist Chris Slorach and drummer Hayden Menzies have honed their sound from unhinged anxiety and pent-up rage to an […]

Please Stand By

This week is the annual family trip down south to Brown County, Indiana. I guess technically it’s not an annual trip as last year we went to Canada, and the year before that I’m not sure we went anywhere. So, the last time we were in Brown County was three summers ago. We got a […]

Further Into Your Moods and Thoughts : Keith Canisius Talks Shortwave Broadcaster

Keith Canisius has been pretty busy the last few months. During lockdown he’s released two albums under the name Shortwave Broadcaster, an ambient project that takes heavily-effected guitar and turns it into something ethereal. Strings awash in modulation, reverb, and delay that transform into swaths of gorgeous sound. Long, expansive tracks that spread out into […]
