Pink Floyd – The Endless River

Reunions and re-releases aplenty in our world today…and in 99% of those cases I’d usually advise some caution…but of course, 99% of those bands are NOT Pink Floyd.  Welcome back to your favorite, flawless band – they haven’t dropped an inch in creativity, tone or execution.  And while many of these songs come to us […]Read More

Imaginator – Imaginator

This new three song set from Imaginator is brutally heavy and built to destroy everything that can’t handle ‘loud’ in its path. It makes me stop and pause, reflect on how far I’ve personally come in music-reviewing for just a second…five years ago, this might have been ‘too much’ for me, too aggressive sounding, too […]Read More

The Bombay Blue Notes – Face The Pain

Hmmm…this one’s a little tough.  At first instance in pushing play, I know this is ‘outside’ my particular genres of choice…so I’ve got to throw my objectivity-hat on here and mine this new music from The Bombay Blue Notes for personal relevance in moments that speak to me.  That being said, the gift of objectivity […]Read More

Mariachi El Bronx – Bronx

Mariachi El Bronx – Bronx – Album Review You know…when I think about it, there’s a true advantage in the music of Mariachi El Bronx in that I can’t for the life of me remember hearing true ‘Mariachi-style’ tunes ever with English vocals before. I’ve certainly heard bands take a departure in their sound for […]Read More

Bigfoot Barefoot – 1216

Bigfoot Barefoot – 1216 – EP Review Smooth! Bigfoot Barefoot’s new EP, 1216 goes down easy with a funked-out crossover sound that’s somewhere between Stevie Wonder and Dire Straits…or maybe John Cougar. This completely DIY project is a respectable one for sure, there’s some great efforts here and some promising tunes. I definitely appreciate the […]Read More

Chasing Jonah – Prelude

Chasing Jonah – Prelude – Album Review Chills. That’s the way to start out a listen to new music if I had to choose one. A feeling that you’re about to hear something spectacular, something dynamic, something new. From the moment that lead singer Ashley Dudukovich started to sing on the new album Prelude by herself & her […]Read More

A.S. Swanski – Zafari

A.S. Swanski – Zafari – Album Review A.S. Swanski has put together an album that is extremely special here on Zafari. Highly experimental, the album plays somewhere in between the most fantastic parts in a Pink Floyd instrumental and pure, free-flowing art at its absolute best. The result is quite simply, an album unlike that which you’ll […]Read More

Velvet Ashes – Live From The Attic

Velvet Ashes – Live From The Attic – EP Review Life may very well imitate art, but it’s still pretty damn rare to find an album title that truly matches the feeling of a band or artist. This one does completely; Live From The Attic from Zurich-based band Velvet Ashes sounds so intimate, warm, relatable and […]Read More
