Night Music : The Seductive Sounds of Miles Brown

I’ve been a fan of Miles Brown for over two years now. It started with a friend telling me I should check out this band called The Night Terrors back in January of 2014. “I think you’ll dig them.” Well, he was well aware of my fondness for eerie synth music, all things gothic, and […]

Jakob Skott : All The Colours Of The Dust

If you didn’t know it by now, then I’m here to tell you that Jakob Skott is one of the premier drummers working today.He’s based in Denmark, so maybe you guys and gals chilling in your Midwest casa or East Coast domicile may not be aware of the man. But you should make yourself aware, […]

Explosions in the Sky : The Wilderness

Listening to Explosions in the Sky for me has always been like that lump in your throat moment in a great film. The tragic losses, the triumphant successes, and the moment when you realize everything is going to be all right despite all the downs you’ve gone through to get there. They soundtrack both figuratively […]

Black Mountain : IV

I’m on my third listen of Black Mountain’s newest opus, the labyrinthine IV. It should be no surprise that I will need a few more listens before I’ve covered all the nooks and crannies of this stately beast of an album, but I can say very confidently that everything they’ve done beforehand has been building […]

Damien Jurado : Visions of Us on the Land

Damien Jurado is one of the most interesting musicians working today. He may not think that, but he’s a modest guy. Jurado’s not the kind of artist that sits around thinking about how interesting he is. But take my word for it Damien, you are very interesting. Ever since he began his musical partnership with […]

New Tune : Jakob Skott’s “The Variable”

So not only does one of my favorite bands drop a new album this past Friday, their drummer is readying a new album for the end of April. Holy moly! Causa Sui have just released their new record, the mammoth chunk of molten rock called Return To Sky. That album is the grittiest, rawest form […]

LNZNDRF : LNZNDRF

Once in a great while a record comes out and completely catches me off guard. Sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. With the debut record of LNZNDRF it’s definitely for the better. It’s one of those debuts that comes out of the gate and grabs you instantly. Part euro pop, part Krautrock […]

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) […]
