The Black Keys : Delta Kream

Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have been at it now for 20 years as The Black Keys. They have been on a steady course from Midwestern underground blues revivalists to indie rock darlings to mainstream, middle-aged rockers soundtracking soccer mom road trips. Regardless of where you’re at on the Keys’ timeline, Auerbach and Carney put […]

The Legendary Trainhoppers : Hard Times

The Legendary Trainhoppers struck hard with their debut Ramble On back in 2006. Their mix of folk, Americana, bluegrass, and Midwestern rock jangle is a tip of the hat to artists like Dylan, Petty, Wilco, Neil Young, and The Jayhawks. But this River City crew made jangle of their own, locking into new stories and […]

Andy Fosberry : Anthology of the Dark

Musician and composer Andy Fosberry is a master of mood. He works in film scores, real and imagined, as well as creating masterful music in pop, rock, ambient, and electronic realms.

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. Their albums are long-form improvisations that pay tribute to bands like the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Blue Cheer, Cream, Black Sabbath, […]

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.
