Kanaan : Double Sun

Kanaan, the Norwegian power trio which consists of Ask Vatn Strøm(Electric and acoustic guitars), Ingvald André Vassbø(Drums, percussion and organ), and Eskild Myrvoll(Bass, synths, electric and acoustic guitars) have had a busy couple of years. Blowing minds at the end of 2018 with their El Paraiso Records debut Windborne, the group played shows for most […]

Treebones : Midnight Radio

As a kid I remember on Friday nights I’d stay up late and turn the radio dial to 95.3 out of Niles, MI. It never came in any other time of the week, but for some reason the skies cleared and the analog ghosts blessed the air waves on Friday nights. I’d listen to Metal […]

Negative Space by B.R. Yeager

B.R. Yeager’s Negative Space lives up to its name. It’s a book that seeps of negativity; sadness, indifference, grief, and an insurmountable weight of hopelessness that I hope to never revisit any time soon. Please dear reader, don’t take this as a condemnation of Mr. Yeager’s tome of loss, psychedelia, nihilism, and destructive escapism. Take […]

“Drink scotch whiskey all night long, and die behind the wheel”

I grew up hearing Steely Dan on the radio. I’d hear songs like “My Old School”, “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number”, “Do It Again”, “Hey Nineteen”, and of course the classic AOR rock standard “Reelin’ In The Years” and I’d cringe as a kid. It sounded like old man rock. I could picture some grey-haired […]

Broken Lamps : Metropolis

Eric Bowr is something of a maestro of the studio. His albums as Broken Lamps are meticulously recorded, arranged, and performed time machines that take you back to the mid-to-late 60s. A kaleidoscopic sound of groovy psychedelia, Giallo drama, and exploitation library music that brings back the golden age of Euro melodrama. Bowr performs, engineers, […]

Ode To A Movie Theater

What was the last movie you saw at the theater before the world went to shit? Me? My son and I saw The Invisible Man. I loved it. I wish I could go see it again. Or go see anything at all. Hell, give me an Ernest Comes Back From The Dead or Final Destination […]

Jake Schrock : Omnibus

Jake Schrock makes music that seems out of time. He works with a plethora of analog devices that tick, clack, and wheeze sonic spells which transport you to seemingly alternate dimensions. Island rhythms and haunted melodies paint visions of steely shores and chrome waters as double suns set in a nuclear horizon. His 2018 Holodeck […]

Lou Rebecca Shines In Her New Video “To Keep You”

2019 was a pretty stunning year for Austin-based Parisian pop star Lou Rebecca. She dropped her feature-length debut Restless with Holodeck Records, which was a catchy, engaging, and ultimately endearing set of pop tracks. Rebecca writes songs that feel timeless and buoyant, and she delivers them with an innocence and restless abandon that never comes […]

What’s The Score? Volume II : Jeff Russo and ‘Legion’

I wasn’t that familiar with the Legion comic book series from Marvel when the FX series was announced. In fact I knew nothing about the character David Haller, aka Legion, but after hearing that Noah Hawley was the showrunner I was in no matter what. Hawley is the brains behind the amazing Fargo series and […]
