Billow Observatory Return With New Track “Systol Nightshade”; New Album Coming In 2025

The last full-length album from the ambient/shoegaze duo Billow Observatory(Jonas Munk and Jason Kolb) was 2022’s excellent Stareside, which was a culmination of what these two musicians had been working towards since their self-titled debut in 2012. Munk coming from Denmark and with plenty of work under his belt as guitarist for Causa Sui; not […]

Me And Mom Go On A Beer(And Ice Cream) Run

We’re getting to the end of 2024, and that means I start eyeing my remaining vacation days like a hawk. Doing the math and figuring out how many days I need to cover my Thanksgiving vacation week, maybe a birthday vacation day, and then the time I need to cover our year-end shutdown. Well, since […]

Terrorlord : Unreleased Beats 2001

Christopher Ashley didn’t start out making 80s-tinged melodic electronic music. In the 90s he was in the noise rock bands Murder Weapon, followed by Index For Potential Suicide. These were bands that dealt loud, pummeling music that often left crowds bloodied and breathless after shows. While Ashley was still in the midst of cacophonic waves […]

Sermons By The Devil : Exorcismo Electrónico

Tom Hall works in the hardware world when it comes to making music as Sermons By The Devil. The New Jersey-based musician/composer builds sonic meditations with patch cords, blinking lights, and stacks of old school pedals and tactile keys and synths. His music feels organic, like running your hands through sand and the feel of […]

Checking Out, Gotcha Days, November Walks

I’m trying to let go of whatever disappointment I’ve been feeling for nearly a week now. Disappointment in the election, in the decision that a majority of Americans made at the polls, and just what seems like a general lack of giving a shit for others that will certainly suffer for the next four years. […]

The Cure : Songs Of A Lost World

There aren’t many bands that can take a 16 year break between albums without suffering some kind of hit. Most bands aren’t The Cure, though. The musical icons of grand melancholy and the Godfathers of goths everywhere have done just that. The last album Robert Smith and Co released was 2008s disappointing 4:13 Dream. It […]

My Autumn Suite

Happy Friday all. Today I have released onto the world my latest musical work, Autumn Suite I-IV. It’s an 18-minute suite consisting of 4 parts that I’ve sewn together to make one long movement, if you will. It didn’t start out that way, though. It began back in September as me wanting to make an […]

Morph Stereo’s Busy Fall : New Songs From Keith Canisius’ Newest Music Project

Keith Canisius, the musician/composer behind project’s Rumskib, Shortwave Broadcaster, and electronic duo Astral TV isn’t one to take a break. The drive to make thoughtful, exploratory, and at times cinematic music is a strong one. Hit up his Shortwave Broadcaster or Morph Stereo Bandcamp pages and you’ll have hours of gauzy, ethereal, and heady sounds […]

Hmm…Well…

I hate it when my gut is right. Was I hoping for a different outcome? Most certainly and without a doubt. Am I dumbfounded by the results of yesterday’s election? I am and I’m not. I’m shocked that despite all that’s come in this election cycle(including violent rhetoric, felony convictions, the whole Nazi thing, etc…etc…) […]

It’s All Heavy, Man

The air feels a little heavier than it should. There’s a sense of doom and gloom all around, covering the view like a low hung fog. Thick as split pea soup, it seems to cover any chance of seeing what lies ahead. I’m living in a time that me 20 years ago could not even […]
