Mac Quayle : Mr. Robot Volume 4

Mr. Robot is one of those shows where it feels just as much some bizarre science fiction tale as it does an indictment on those with money and power and those that wish to take that money and power away. At times the show feels very much “of the times” and a pretty upfront tale […]

A Fistful Of Dolarhyde

Growing up, there were two very important libraries in my life. The first was the Nappanee Public Library. This was not my local library, but it was where my grandma Hubner worked. Every week my dad would go over to visit my grandma and do whatever work needed done around the house. He’d pay her […]

Streetlamps For Spotlights : Millenium Summer EP

by EA Poorman Photo by Drew Allegre Jason Davis is what you’d call a jack of all trades. He runs local recording studio Off The Cuff Sound in Fort Wayne, as well as giving music lessons at said music studio. He also does all kinds of repairs on instruments. From setting up a Fender Tele […]

D.A.L.I : WHEN HARO MET SALLY

If you grew up in the 1980s then you get it. If you grew up just on the outskirts of the neon decade then you might as well have grown up at the turn of the century. The 1980s were a pretty incredible time to be a freckle-faced kid, cruising around the suburbs with nothing […]

Exploring Textures : Michael C. Sharp Talks Collaborations and ‘End Times’

Michael C. Sharp is the musician’s musician. He can jump from drums to keys to guitar when needed(there’s probably more instruments I could add to that list), and he does in his various musical outlets. From Sungod to Äutlier to his solo work, Sharp takes whatever musical reigns in front of him and builds soundscapes and […]

Carl Weingarten : Living In The Distant Present

Listening to Carl Weingarten’s excellent Living In The Distant Present I wonder why this album wasn’t far more well known. To my ears, it feels like one of the preeminent ambient albums. Forward-thinking, vast, and engaging guitar, looping, and synth excursions that invite the listener to get lost in these ethereal musical landscapes. Weingarten sat […]

Jake Schrock : Tropical Depression

Jake Schrock makes music that feels breezy and calm, but always with a sense of unease just under the surface. Vintage synths and drum machines click, hiss, and breathe like ancient devices discussing the world’s end in a language we can’t understand. Yet, those mechanical tomes pull us in and allow us to get lost […]

‘When Haro Met Sally’

Tomorrow something special is being released onto the world. Deadly Avenger & Luke Insect’s WHEN HARO MET SALLY, an all-out neon 80s, electro-funk musical romance that tips its helmet to 80s BMX life, summer love, getting high, getting loose, and proving to the world you don’t need a degree to make something of yourself. Here’s […]

Wild Nothing’s ‘Indigo’

I remember the fall of 2012 pretty well. I’d seemed to hit a goldmine of new music and it all seemed to be coming from New York record label Captured Tracks. The Soft Moon, Craft Spells, DIIV, Chris Cohen and Mac Demarco were all kind of revelatory artists I found on this seemingly small indie […]

Listen : Softaware’s “Shapeshifter”

Softaware is a band fronted by Colin Nance. The band also included Pilar Guarddon, Steven Worlow, and Tony Mahon. They were based out of Oklahoma City and released their debut titled Networks in 2016. It was a mix of electro dream pop with neo-futuristic vibes. Sort of like a mix of Ulrich Schnauss, Massive Attack, and Stereolab […]
