Stranger Things Soundtrack Volume One : Original Music by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein

I can’t remember the last time something enthralled the public’s eyes and ears like Netflix’ Stranger Things has. Maybe the Macarena? Or the Blue Collar Comedy Tour? The Pam and Tommy Lee sex tape? Regardless, none of those things lived up to the hype that preceded them, except for Stranger Things. This is a show that […]

Of Montreal : Innocence Reaches

Kevin Barnes has played many roles in his nearly 20 year music career. There was the folksy pop guy, the jilted lover, the struggling husband and father, the party monster, the transvestite hooker, the avante garde composer, and the rock and roll warrior.

Monarch : Two Isles

Ahh, Southern California sure knows how to mold and shape guys and gals into laid back, jammy musicians. There’s this breezy, hazy vibe that comes from a city like San Diego that you can’t get anywhere else in the country. In-particular, psych rock has had somewhat of a resurgence in that area, with heavy hitters […]

Mondomania

This will be a short one, folks. I’ve got a nifty new 10 inch vinyl to spin from my friends(pushers) at Mondotees and Death Waltz. It’s a little project called Victims, and the record is called Form Hell. It’s two tracks of bubbly, delicious heavy synth and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Well, had it […]
