Psychic Shields VS Flesh-Eating Witches….GO!

Slasher Film Festival Strategy have taken up quite a bit of real estate up in my head since November of 2015. My first foray into the grimy and creepy world of SFFS was with the split they did with Antoni Maovvi. I was really impressed with what I’d heard on that three-song EP, so I […]

Slave To The Rewind : Thug Entrancer’s ‘Data Slave’

If you had told me a year ago I’d be getting all excited over a damn cassette tape I would’ve told you to jump back in that Delorean and get back to 1985. As it happens, I stand corrected. I mean, I’m not having some sort of cassette tape renaissance or anything. Sure, I’ve found […]

Causa Sui : Return To Sky

There’s only a few instrumental outfits these days that pack as big a sonic punch as Causa Sui. These four guys from Denmark have been making trippy, mind-altering rock and roll for a few years now, and every time out they up their musical game a bit. They go from psychedelic, acid-fried drone(Pewt’r Sessions 3) […]

Thug Entrancer : Arcology

I think I’ve always liked electronic music in some form or another. From intros to 80s cartoons to being enamored by Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn” at the age of 9, there’s always been a connection for me to that buzzing and humming musical world. Unfortunately properly articulating that fondness has always eluded me. “I really like the […]

Wolfmother : Victorious

Man, do you remember back in 2005 when Wolfmother dropped their debut album? That glorious mix of proggy, organ-drenched, chunky guitar goodness that reminded us that Uriah Heep were pretty cool(at least Ken Hensley’s bits) and that Robert Plant would’ve sounded pretty damn cool fronting Black Sabbath. Yeah, I remember that self-titled well. There was […]

Wild Nothing : Life of Pause

I’ve been smitten with Jack Tatum ever since I heard “Nocture” back in 2012. Such beauty and bittersweet melodies in that song. I knew right then that this Tatum fellow knew how to turn emotional dials with the magic that is music. He was also tapping into my childhood growing up in the early 80s. […]

Ryan Kerr : Live Well

Ryan Kerr makes music that seems to constantly evolve as it’s in the process of playing. It moves and slinks effortlessly like the best kind of narrative. He definitely falls in the singer/songwriter category, yet he travels among the DIY punk scene like an elder statesmen. That’s to say he’s a well respected man, among […]

Existential Fez

So as I’ve stated recently, I was never much of a video game guy(or gal for that matter.) That’s not to say I don’t appreciate what goes into a great video game. I appreciate the art and imagination that goes into creating a totally immersive alternate reality in a video game like I appreciate what […]

Dreams From The Big Cloud

Well after a year and a half of messing around and noodling I’ve finally completed a new album. Some of these songs are pretty old, and one or two are a mere three months new, but for the most part these songs were written in a fit of inspiration following my wife buying me a […]

Deerhunter’s “Snakeskin”

Last year when I’d heard Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox was hit by a car and put into the hospital I was worried. Not only for the guy’s health, but for the future of Deerhunter. Cox is one of those artists that always seems to be working and putting out music. Whether it’s Deerhunter, Atlas Sound, or […]
