Time Makes Miniatures Of Us All

I remember being a little kid and hugging my Grandma Hubner when her and my grandpa would come over and when they’d leave. She seemed so big to me. Like a giant, for a lady. She was maybe 6′. I remember I could barely get my arms around her. She wasn’t rotund or anything, but […]

It’s Friday! Go Listen To Zombi’s “No Damage”

We’re a week away from Zombi’s new album 2020 being released. July 17th is the day I’ve been waiting for since I first heard of this album’s release back in April or May. Back when the pandemic and isolation was fresh and ouchy. By this point a hard, ugly scab has formed and it’s all […]

I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times

I guess I just wasn’t made for these times Every time I get the inspiration To go change things around No one wants to help me look for places Where new things might be found I feel like I’ve aged ten years since March. The world has become this bizarre alternate reality where facts are […]

Protomartyr’s “Michigan Hammers”

There’s a handful of rock bands that have given me hope for a long and exciting future for rock and roll over the last few years. Protomartyr are on that small list. I first discovered the Detroit post-punk band in 2015 with The Agent Intellect. From start to finish that record buzzed with urgency. It […]

Dream Division : The Devil Rides Out

Dream Division works within the electronic/heavy synth world, but stands apart from the crowd. The one-man project is helmed by UK musician and producer Tom McDowell, and he makes a brand of interstellar, cosmic dread all his very own. Since 2017 McDowell has been putting out wobbly, DIY occult and sci-fi-inspired sounds and his music […]

John Carpenter Returns With New Single “Skeleton”

Since 2015 John Carpenter has been on a tear creatively. After releasing his Lost Themes with Sacred Bones Records Carpenter has kept the creative mojo running, releasing a classic single series, Lost Themes II, Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998, as well as scoring David Gordon Green’s Halloween. Carpenter even took the songs out and toured, with […]

Glass Parallels : Aisle Of Light

The name Justin Pinkerton is synonymous with California psych. He’s played in Golden Void, Roots of Orchis, and Corsic, and in 2018 Pinkerton released and album as Futuropaco, an amazing Italio/psych groovefest. That record was this time capsule to mid-to-late-60s Italy and European countrysides, slathered in masterful drums, fuzz guitars, and the feeling of losing […]

Let Remington super 60 Brighten Your Day With “Still Near”

We are officially into the dog days of summer, and boy oh boy what a dog it is. Like Cujo mixed with the Rottweiler in The Omen with a touch of those hellhounds Robert Johnson sang about. Between the virus, the protests, and a large portion of the population of the world that doesn’t take […]

Minos : S/T

“NARRATIVE MUSIC FOR LUNATIC PEOPLE” This is the bold-faced, all caps mission statement that hits you head on when listening to Minos’ self-titled album on their Bandcamp page. That’s not a statement to take lightly, folks. And while I wouldn’t label listeners that dig this album lunatics, I would definitely say it’s narrative music. The […]
