Ty Segall : Harmonizer

Ty Segall is a hard artist to keep up with. Just as you’re memorizing track orders on the newest album he’s already released a new one, either under his own name or with any one of his many side projects/collaborations. I’m not complaining(okay, maybe I am), but it’s as if he can’t stop and soak […]

Vlimmer Returns With New Album Nebenkörper, Out September 24th; Listen To Single “I.P.A.”

Alexander Donat has built a sonic library of brooding darkwave and post-punk over the course of a few years now. Listening to his albums you’re brought into a chilling and urgent world that locks into territory fans of Bauhaus, early Cure, and Killing Joke find much to love in. Donat is so good at making […]

Burial Grid’s “4am Knows My Secrets” Is Subtle Melancholy With Anxiety Just Under the Surface

Burial Grid’s Adam Michael Kozak has put together a pretty amazing new album called Shores of Quiddity. It’s a record that came together over the course of 2020, a year filled with both social and personal strife for Kozak. His work has always been a balancing act between light and dark, with a heavy lean […]

Lisa Bella Donna : Moogmentum

The newest release from synth pioneer Lisa Bella Donna sees her paying tribute to another pioneer, Bob Moog. Lisa Bella Donna pays tribute by making an album of exquisite sonic tastes; a record created with the Moog at the heart of it. Moogmentum is a sonic journey that only requires an open mind and open […]

Deafheaven : Infinite Granite

Ever since their debut album Roads To Judah, Deafheaven have been on a steady incline. Each record outdid the previous in scope, musicality, and artistic depth. Their sound was loud, abrasive, and aggressive, but also extremely melodic and at times melancholy. “Blackgaze” , combining black metal and shoegaze, may be a trite tag but it […]

Stop What You’re Doing And Watch Sankofa’s “Dali Rolex”

Hey there, I know it’s Saturday and the weekend so you’ve got plenty of stuff going on. But do me a favor and take 3 1/2 minutes out of your day and watch the new video from Sankofa called “Dali Rolex”. He’s been hyping this for a while and it finally dropped. It was worth […]

Salvatore Mercatante & Veins Full Of Static : Machine Memories

The latest trip dropping from the UK electronic label Waxing Crescent Records is a two-part collaboration between New York’s Salvatore Mercatante and the UK project Veins Full Of Static called Machine Memories. These two prolific artists split album sides for long form, existential floats into the ether. Ambient in spirit, but each artist approaches their […]

Darkside : Spiral

The last we heard of Darkside, the collaboration between Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington, the two had put their space-y music project on hiatus. Their sonically rich debut Psychic came out in 2013, but by 2014 it seemed as if Darkside had dissipated into the ether. But then last year the duo returned with the […]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor : G_d’s Pee at State’s End!

Godspeed You! Black Emperor are one of those bands that had always intimidated me. A band consisting of anywhere between 10 to 15 anarchists/political activists that made music reminiscent of folk doom metal. Imagine Neutral Milk Hotel making funeral dirges for some post-apocalyptic dystopia, equal parts accordion, tribal drums, and Marshall stacks feedbacking into oblivion. […]

OP31ST Presents : Quarantine Cuts Volume Two

Outpost 31 Studios have returned, this time with Quarantine Cuts Volume Two. Volume One dropped back in July and was a glorious patchwork of sonic delights created during the big bummer known as 2020. Artists doing what they do, creating art. In the midst of Orwellian isolation, songs were created as a means of coping […]
