John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies Bring All The Tension on “Unkillable”; ‘Halloween Kills’ Out October 15th

In less than two months we will be returning to Haddonfield, Illinois where Michael Myers wreaked havoc on the town in so many films. Most recently is David Gordon Green’s Halloween. His series picks up after John Carpenter’s original from 1978, 40 years later. Myers is being transferred to another psychiatric facility when he makes […]

Shortwave Broadcaster : In Flow

Keith Canisius’ musical word as Shortwave Broadcaster is an all-encompassing one. With a guitar and a Eurorack he builds these towering sonic landscapes that paint monolithic sounds, both tempered in darkness and light. He captures the vibe of classic Komische artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and also early Windham Hill albums. New age, ambient, […]

Lisa Bella Donna : Mourning Light

On the latest release from electronic wizard Lisa Bella Donna, titled Mourning Light, the forward-thinking musician is captured live at The Vanderelli Room / Art Gallery. This performance was a special one as Lisa Bella Donna improvised on a Mellotron & Moog as artist AJ Vanderelli painted inside a 20ft clear plastic room, painting from the […]

Repeated Viewing : The Family

Leave it to the maestro Alan Sinclair to elevate us all with a sickly sinister slab of synth. As Repeated Viewing, Sinclair has created a vast library of imagined scores to films that seem to have been torn from my own twisted imagination. As far as dark, heavy synth music goes Repeated Viewing raises the […]

Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen’s “Like I Used To”

Have you heard this song? Seriously, this song has burned a hole in my brain since I first heard it back at the end of May. I’m a fan of both of these amazing songwriters, but together these two are like that duet with Chrissie Hynde and Stevie Nicks we never got in the early […]

Dogs Versus Shadows : The Importance Of Elsewhere

Producer Lee Pylon’s dogs versus shadow project is not for the average passing listener. Less an album of electronic music and more like transmissions from the beyond, his Waxing Crescent Records debut The Importance of Elsewhere is skittering static and disembodied voices from another dimension. It’s as if Pylon opened lines of communication with realms […]

Sankofa : BLKTCHP

Does MC Sankofa sleep? Is there any downtime for this Midwest rapper? If you check out the list of albums he’s been putting out at a record pace I’d say no. If he’s not plotting the next album with some killer production courtesy of some amazing producer friends, he’s dropping videos of him freestyling over […]

Burial Grid Returns With New Album ‘Shores of Quiddity’; Listen To “Biphasic”

East coast musician Adam Michael Kozak, aka Burial Grid, is returning to fill our ears and minds with new electronic music in the form of Shores of Quiddity. The album is a departure from Burial Grid’s previous LP, the dark, vocoder-heavy We’ve Come For Your Flesh which came out at the beginning of 2021. While […]

Tom Petty : Angel Dream(Songs And Music From The Motion Picture “She’s The One”)

2016 and 2017 were pretty rough years as far as losing iconic artists. 2016 saw the deaths of David Bowie and Prince, with 2017 taking from us Chris Cornell and Tom Petty. I felt all of those losses as I was a huge fan of each of them, but Tom Petty hits the hardest for […]

The Flaming Lips : The Soft Bulletin Companion

The Flaming Lips were in serious flux in 1997. After guitarist Ronald Jones left the band the remaining members, Wayne Coyne, Michael Ivins, and Steve Drozd, seriously wondered if the band was done. This led to a certain amount of artistic freedom. With no expectations of hits or standard album form the three, along with […]
