Gyan Rosling : Embrace

There’s something ethereal and free-spirited about Gyan Rosling’s Burning Witches Records debut Embrace. The neon-eighties tilt, the airy synths, and the ‘Dance Party USA’-like percussive hits all come together like a swath of nostalgia that hit you direct in the face. Embrace is a time machine of an album that drops us right into 1986, […]

Thousand Foot Whale Claw Return With The Transcendent “The Garden from Above”

2018 was the year I discovered Holodeck Records. Their sampler Holodeck Vision One pretty much blew my mind, opening my ears to cats like Jake Schrock, Michael C. Sharp, Automelodi, Future Museums, Single Lash, Dallas Acid, Troller, and so many more. Another artist I discovered on that 2018 compilation was Thousand Foot Whale Claw. TFWC […]

There’s a mysticism about southern California; from the sun-soaked surfer souls that haunt its coastline, to the teenage loners writing the DNA of what would become modern skateboarding in abandoned backyard swimming pools, to the music scene that blossomed amongst all of it. Southern California was the mecca for true freedom in artistry and rebellion, […]

Chord Changes

I’ve been in a rut lately. I always identified as a musician, though in the roughest sense of the word. But it’s starting to not really feel like part of my identity. For the first time since I was 12-years old making music doesn’t feel like an integral part of me, and it’s really bumming […]

Song and Spirit : A Conversation With Songwriter Jeffrey Silverstein

Songwriter Jeffrey Silverstein connects to the Pacific Northwest on a very deep level. His adopted home spoke to him so deeply that he made his debut solo album You Become The Mountain as if speaking for the landscape of Portland. The album acts as a conduit to his surroundings. Listening to the record you can […]

Martin Rude & Jakob Skøtt Duo : The Discipline of Assent

Vlimmer : XIIIIII/XIIIIIII (16 & 17)

The latest from Alexander Leonard Donat sees him pushing his post-punk project Vlimmer into even brighter and darker realms. His varied sonic worlds seem to keep colliding together, grabbing bits of both his Fir Cone Children and Vlimmer projects, turning the darker realms lighter, and the lighter a bit darker. With XIIIIII/XIIIIIII(16 & 17) the […]
