Bliss Out : On The Record Part Three With Azure Vista Records and Label Runner Jonas Munk

There’s truly some magic coming from Denmark. There’s this sort of otherworldly power the emanates from the ground and spacial shores that outline the Baltic Sea, Kattegat, Skagerrat, and The Lakes, Copenhagen. Proof of this? Look no further than El Paraiso Records. In part one of this record label series I discussed El Paraiso and […]

Metavari : Symmetri

Nate Utesch has been the leader and sole constant in the electronic band Metavari since its inception back in 2008. He’s cultivated the sound and aesthetic from the sprawling vastness of post-rock to a much tighter electronic feel quite seamlessly. If you listen to early Metavari, say something like Be One of Us and Hear […]

Mac Quayle : Mr. Robot Volume 4

Mr. Robot is one of those shows where it feels just as much some bizarre science fiction tale as it does an indictment on those with money and power and those that wish to take that money and power away. At times the show feels very much “of the times” and a pretty upfront tale […]

D.A.L.I : WHEN HARO MET SALLY

If you grew up in the 1980s then you get it. If you grew up just on the outskirts of the neon decade then you might as well have grown up at the turn of the century. The 1980s were a pretty incredible time to be a freckle-faced kid, cruising around the suburbs with nothing […]

Exploring Textures : Michael C. Sharp Talks Collaborations and ‘End Times’

Michael C. Sharp is the musician’s musician. He can jump from drums to keys to guitar when needed(there’s probably more instruments I could add to that list), and he does in his various musical outlets. From Sungod to Äutlier to his solo work, Sharp takes whatever musical reigns in front of him and builds soundscapes and […]

Tomorrow something special is being released onto the world. Deadly Avenger & Luke Insect’s WHEN HARO MET SALLY, an all-out neon 80s, electro-funk musical romance that tips its helmet to 80s BMX life, summer love, getting high, getting loose, and proving to the world you don’t need a degree to make something of yourself. Here’s […]

Listen : Softaware’s “Shapeshifter”

Softaware is a band fronted by Colin Nance. The band also included Pilar Guarddon, Steven Worlow, and Tony Mahon. They were based out of Oklahoma City and released their debut titled Networks in 2016. It was a mix of electro dream pop with neo-futuristic vibes. Sort of like a mix of Ulrich Schnauss, Massive Attack, and Stereolab […]

Deadly Avenger : The Girl With The White Orchid

Damon Baxter, aka Deadly Avenger, seems to have found a well of inspiration in the last few months. Not only has he continued his musical contributions to film and television, but he has also set out to deliver a prolific run of Deadly Avenger albums since last year. You might recall his Death Waltz Originals […]

Whales & Drones : Ten Questions With Thousand Foot Whale Claw

The first time I heard the name Thousand Foot Whale Claw I thought it was the title of a new High on Fire record. When I found out that wasn’t the case I may have been mildly disappointed. When I found out that Thousand Foot Whale Claw were in fact a drone loving, synth-heavy Krautrock […]

Jake Schrock’s “Cosmic Ocean”

There’s a very specific vibe that permeates Jake Schrock’s newest track “Cosmic Ocean”. Inside its swelling synths and “come hither” pulse there’s also a sense of impending dread. Like standing on the shoreline and looking into the endless horizon, seeing or sensing just beyond the orange and purple hues some impending doom. Despite knowing the […]
