Sudan Archives : Athena

Listening to Sudan Archives debut album Athena you feel as if you’ve discovered something new, something unique. The Ohio-raised violinist/songwriter mixes her influences and inspirations into something quite gorgeous and one-of-a-kind. Her EDM/Soul/R&B/glitch music combines bits of Solange, Oneohtrix Point Never, Andrew Bird, and something not quite of this earth to make a startling, dark, […]

Burial Grid : Babies in the Bunker EP

Burial Grid works in the darkness. It’s not some blatant creepy faux dark vibe, but really tapping into a kind of darkness that sits inside all of us all our lives. The thoughts we think but never set free in words and in ears. The doomed twins hapless and hopeless that are always in the […]

Danny Scott Lane : Memory Record

LA-based producer Danny Scott Lane created his latest album Memory Record out of a thoughtful moment with his grandfather. After his grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, he gifted Lane and his brother microcassette recorders and told them to record and document their memories in physical form. Moments big and small locked onto tape to […]

Alone 1980 : Voyage

The Swedish heavy synth project Alone 1980 has released an impressive collection of instrumental/horror soundtrack-inspired albums in the course of just a little over a year. One EP and six full-length albums filled with analog dread and giallo-heavy vibes since August 2018 means Alone 1980 has plenty to say. On Alone 1980s latest release, the […]

Andy Shauf Announces New Album ‘The Neon Skyline’; Listen To “Things I Do”

I came across Andy Shauf purely by happenstance during a night of beers and random Youtube rummaging. Well, maybe it wasn’t quite happenstance. I had been searching for the Canadian indie rock band Tuns(Canadian SUPERGROUP, if you will.) One of the members, Chris Murphy, is in Sloan. Sloan is a band I discovered in the […]

FiRES WERE SHOT : Fallen

Clay Walton and John Wilkins of experimental acoustic duo FiRES WERE SHOT capture both the mystical and chaotic in their music. Their use of traditional acoustic folk music coalescing with experimental noise collages gives one the feeling of Ry Cooder or William Tyler being swallowed in a sea of sonic fuzz in the bowery. These […]

Phantoms vs Fire : Modern Monsters

Thiago Desant, known musically as Phantoms vs Fire, is not afraid to push boundaries artistically. He follows the muse wherever she may lead, regardless of how light or dark the road gets along the way. His work is both orchestral and electronic, taking us on both symphonic and glitchy electronic trips. Since early 2018 Phantoms […]

Tame Impala Announce ‘The Slow Rush’ Out February 2020; Listen To “It Might Be Time”

In ten years and over the course of a handful of EPs, and as of February 2020 four full-length LPs, Kevin Parker has gone from a skinny stoner from Perth making psychedelic albums at his house to being one of the most sought after collaborators in any genre of music. From collaborations with Lady Gaga […]

Fir Cone Children : Fog Surrounds Us

Alexander Leonard Donat steps out of the darkness and doom and gloom of his Vlimmer project to make some upbeat, fuzzy dreampunk in Fir Cone Children. The Gothic complexities and Bauhaus-worshiping has been set to the side in lieu of an almost gleeful sound. A mixture of MBV, Jesus and Mary Chain, and Lush are […]

Relax Kids, Fright Night Club 12 Drops Tomorrow

There’s certain things you can always look forward to in October. Pop up Halloween shops, candy aisles grow in multitudes at the grocery store, trick-or-treating(or handing out candy to trick-or-treaters), Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare On Elm Street marathons, and of course the annual Fright Night Club mix. Yes, every year since 2008 the […]
