Coming to terms, records, guitars…

It’s been close to a month since we found out they were closing the plant I’ve been working in for over two decades. There’s been plenty of second-guessing, mild panic, quiet moments of reflection, and craft beer or two drank. Despite the anxiety of the great unknown, I’ve pretty much come to terms with the […]

Killer Score : My Favorite Horror Film Scores Part II

I wasn’t sure if I’d get to another one of these posts. I’ts been a long week and writing has taken a bit of a backseat to the insanity of the 9 to 5(or in my case 5:30 to 3, or 6:00 to 3.) But with Halloween coming this Sunday I wanted to post at […]

Isvisible Isinvisible : Ghosts Of Mann

Simon Pott, aka Isvisible Isinvisible, makes heady and raw electronic music with the modular synthesizer. But what is a lot of the time long improvisations with the circuital beast with most that compose this way, is a more emotional, melodic one with Pott. He seems to wrangle stories and moments from his instrument, and back […]

Burial Grid : Shores Of Quiddity

If you stop by more than once in a while over here then you should know who Burial Grid is. For the newbies, Burial Grid is the electronic musical project of Adam Michael Kozak. Kozak leans into the darkness in his music, giving an unflinching look at both the darkness in the world as well […]

Long Story Short : Matt Lindauer, Us And I, Stuart Cook, Richard Pike

Welcome back kids. It’s another installment of Long Story Short. Here’s where I give a quick synopsis of an album I think is worth your time. It’s Friday, it’s overcast, and the coffee is piping hot. Sit on down and take a load off why don’t you? Matt Lindauer : Moon Shop As a little […]

Killer Score : My Favorite Horror Film Scores Part I

Since we’re in the season, I thought I’d talk about some of my favorite horror scores. Feels right. Not sure about you, but I wholeheartedly feel the film score is an absolute pivotal piece of the puzzle when it comes to a film. Even more so with horror films. I often remember a score more […]

Papir Return With ‘7’, Out 1/14/22; Listen To the Gorgeous “7.2”

Papir are one of those bands that transcend with each album. Starting out with an impressive run of LPs with the mighty El Paraiso Records in the 2010s, the power trio(which consists of Christoffer Brøchmann Christensen (drums), Nicklas SØRENSEN (guitars, keyboards) and Christian Becher Clausen (bass, keyboards), moved over to Stickman Records in 2017 and […]

Rupert And Ray : Rupert Lally Scores Ray Bradbury

Rupert Lally has proven to be quite adept at translating the literary world into the musical world. Even when he’s just building on an original horror theme(as on albums such as Maniac’s Almanac and The Prospect), Lally engulfs the listener in that world. The best composers do that. But when he’s pulling inspiration from the […]

Proto Droids : Sequential Dreams

Just in time for the October season, Proto Droids(aka Correlations’ Neil Hale) has dropped the 10-track wobbly synth album Sequential Dreams. An album of dreamy, glitchy electronic music to score some late night walkabouts or to just lose yourself for a bit. If you’re familiar with Hale’s Proto Droids project, then you know he’s no […]

Wolfmen Of Mars : Might Be Evil

Wolfmen Of Mars fill a very specific musical void in my life; the vibes of my favorite childhood late night creature feature show called Nightmare Theater, which aired every Friday night on Channel 55, early White Zombie, a haunted western, and heavy metal electronic music. All of those elements intertwine and feed off one another […]
