St. Vincent : Daddy’s Home

Annie Clark is never one to settle in and be comfortable. From her debut Marry Me way back in 2007 to 2017s Massedution, Clark kept pushing her songwriting and sound to new plateaus. Changing up her sound and personas like David Bowie, but bringing a touch of grand melodrama to the albums like Kate Bush, […]

Earthless : Live In The Mojave Desert

Earthless is a band that puts “power” in power trio. Isaiah Mitchell(guitar, vocals), Mike Eginton(bass), and Mario Rubalcaba(drums) are a San Diego three-piece that have been putting out next-level psych rock since the early 2000s.

Zombi : Liquid Crystal

Even though 2020 was the giant dumpster fire that it was, there was still plenty of great music to rise from the political and pandemic ashes. One of the highlights was Zombi’s 2020, which saw the prog/horror/synth duo of Steve Moore and AE Paterra turning in one of their heaviest and honed in sets of […]

Dream Division : Legend of Lizard Lake

The latest release from record label Library of the Occult is from none other than Dream Division, aka Tom McDowell. McDowell locks into the mystical quest of Legend of Lizard Lake, a Gothic and candle-lit ode to the ‘Choose Your Own Adventure‘ series of books and games that, for me, were the highlight of my […]

Lance Hoeppner : I AM Lance Vol. 1, Harpejji Meets The Tempest

Lance Hoeppner, one half of progressive synth/drum duo Moser Woods, has just released his latest solo album. I AM Lance Vol.1, Harpejji Meets The Tempest is a sparse ambient album. The kind of album played late at night in deep contemplation. It feels like music out of time. Something you would have heard on the […]

Mr Eff : Nostalgia Confessions

The musical world of Mr Eff is one that evolves and extends further subtly from release to release. Mr Eff moves each album to a new level; from his debut The Parallel and its Giallo-leaning melodies, brooding melancholy, and sweaty Moroder-like arpeggios to the grimy street funk, seedy breakbeats and subway terror of Eyes Down. […]

worriedaboutsatan : Providence

On the latest from worriedaboutsatan, Gavin Miller continues to hone the sound of this now one-man project. With Providence there’s a sense of reflection, even contentment, as Miller navigates ambient textures, airy drones, and vast post-rock spaces as a sort of sonic tome on time. This is the kind of album that reveals more with […]

Teenage Fanclub : Endless Arcade

Teenage Fanclub are an alternative rock institution. If you didn’t have at least two songs off Bandwagonesque on that mixtape you made to impress that brunette in Geometry class back in the early 90s your tastemaker creds were shot(plus, they’d a ditched you for the kid in the My Bloody Valentine t-shirt.) The Scottish power […]

Ffion : Radials

The latest from Ffion(Thomas and Ashleigh Ragsdale) has the ARP-loving electronic duo taking their already vast and dense sound into more long-form territory. Since their debut on label Soundtracking The Void back in 2018, Ffion has continuously evolved the sound into something deeper and cinematic while still enveloping melodies in rhythmic intent. With Radials Ffion […]
