Mines Falls Returns With New LP ‘Piano Caldera’, Out Soon; Watch Video For New Single “Right Angle”

I’ve been following brothers Carson and Erik Lund for a couple years now.

Similar artists aside, Mines Falls is its […]

London Odense Ensemble : Jaiyede Sessions, Vol. 1

El Paraiso Records has made a name for themselves as a label that welcomes freedom of expression and freedom of improvisation in the projects they support and release.

Camp Of Wolves : Dragoon

David Salisbury’s Camp Of Wolves has been one of those musical projects that I’ve been completely enamored with ever since I first heard Granite Creek a year and a half ago.

Tim Heidecker : High School

I never would have taken Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric fame to have been such a prolific songwriter, but here we are with his third album in three years.

Monday Fun Day : Listen To Vlimmer’s Latest Single “Kronzeuge”

Mondays, huh? Yeah, worst day of the week. That is, unless you’re retired or work from home then I guess there are no bad days of the week. Usually the only thing that makes a Monday better for me is a damn fine cup of coffee and new music. I had both of those today, […]

The last few years has seen Metavari make the striking electronic album […]
