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 […]

Paul Hares : The Magic of Awareness

I have moments a few times a week where I find myself staring off into some nonexistent horizon. Eyes let go of focus and what lies before me becomes some kind of fuzz and light display. A quick kind of sedation that melts the mire of the day away while the brain catches up. These […]

Circadian Rhythm Section : Safety in Numbers

Circadian Rhythm Section is the solo project of musician Derek Jones. Jones has been making music for years now in Cemetery Gates with Gene Priest. Cemetery Gates sounds the way you’d imagine, but better. Dread-inducing electronic music that savors analog synths, classic horror films, and the scores that made them so damn good. Left to […]

Lightning Dust : Spectre

Lightning Dust began as a side project for Amber Webber and Joshua Wells where they could explore folksier sounds mixed with minimalist electronics, away from their main gigs in Black Mountain. 2009s Infinite Light was their second record and a stunning display of their studio prowess, showing Wells as a powerful presence behind the board. […]

Lightning Bolt : Sonic Citadel

Lightning Bolt have never been a band that dabbled in subtlety. The two-piece from Providence, Rhode Island, which consists of bassist Brian Gibson on bass and Brian Chippendale on drums and vocals, have stayed true to a mission statement of keeping things loud, fast, aggressive, and animated. Their shows are always the duo at ground […]
