Feu Follet Returns With New LP ‘IV’, Out 7/29; Listen To Single “Somebody Else”

Back in 2021 producer and musician Alban Blaising released the stunning Beneath the Earth under the name Feu Follet. The amazing album was a mixture of post-punk, dream pop, and dark wave with a fairy-tale twist that combined early 4AD vibes with colorful imagery for a singular musical experience. Blaising’s stunning production and engaging melodies […]

Beach House : Once Twice Melody

Beach House, the Baltimore dream pop duo consisting of Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally, have been making dreamy indie rock since 2006. Right out of the gate these two have settled into a sound that is centered on melancholy keys, echoing guitar lines, and Legrand’s deep and hypnotic vocals. Their sound seems as if Cocteau […]

Deafheaven : Infinite Granite

Ever since their debut album Roads To Judah, Deafheaven have been on a steady incline. Each record outdid the previous in scope, musicality, and artistic depth. Their sound was loud, abrasive, and aggressive, but also extremely melodic and at times melancholy. “Blackgaze” , combining black metal and shoegaze, may be a trite tag but it […]

Ulrich Schnauss & Jonas Munk : Eight Framents Of An Illusion

It’s been four years since the last collaborative LP between Ulrich Schnauss and Jonas Munk, the exquisite and ethereal Passage. After nearly three years of working in-between other musical projects(Schnauss working in Tangerine Dream and Munk recording with Causa Sui, Billow Observatory, Nicklas Sorensen, and solo work) the two studio wizards have released their follow-up, […]

Single Lash Return With “To Laugh”

Harbingers of doomed romanticism and Gothic beauty Single Lash may hail from Austin, Texas, but their sound is much more based in the gray, overcast UK towns of Liverpool, Manchester, and London. Painting woozy, dreamy pop songs out of delayed guitars, loping rhythms, and icy synths, singer/guitarist Nicolas Nadeau sings in a sultry baritone that […]

Peel Dream Magazine : Agitprop Alterna

New York’s Peel Dream Magazine capture the noise and beauty of late 80s Creation Records better than anyone I’ve heard in a long time. The boy/girl vocals interplay, the wall of Big Muff distortion, and the noise rock squall all come together beautifully. Bands like Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Chapterhouse, and Medicine echo in the […]

Honey Cutt Drops “Coasting”; New Album Out March 13th

There’s something wistful about the music of Honey Cutt. It’s a pure sort of pop that comes from this Boston indie rock band. A kind of pop music that can only come from equal parts happiness and sadness. Songs that grow from a dark place attempting to make things a bit lighter. Or at least […]

Peach Pyramid Drops The Dreamy “Wear Sunscreen”

I’m a sucker for a great pop song. Growing up with parents that spun Beatles records all the time and hearing AM radio in the backseat as a little kid had an affect on me. Having songs from the Raspberries, Leo Sayer, the Bee Gees, Andrew Gold, and the Steve Miller Band played in a […]
