Lazarus Benson – “Sacrifice” Feat. T-Zank & Whitney Peyton – Single Review Crazy. I didn’t realize the guy had deleted his entire history at Spotify, pre-2025. Not even sure what to say about that if I’m being completely honest with ya. Lazarus Benson had some decent tunes before this year…but I think beyond that, I’m […]Read More
LUNA & The Gents – “Je Ne Peux Pas T’Oublier” – Single Review “Swinging Vintage Pop” – now that’s an interesting new genre I haven’t heard of yet. Most of you reading no I have no use for genres and such…so believe me when I tell ya, if you can somehow pique my interest with […]Read More
Fundamental Shift – If Seven Was A Number – Album Review I think it’s quite obvious that BIG ALPHABET has gotten its nasty corporate hooks into the minds of Andrew Muecke and Andy Rasheed. Seven’s not a number anymore? I swear it was just a minute ago. Anyhow. What do I know outside of what […]Read More
Arcane-Gel – “Arborglyph” / “Brutum Fulmen?” – Singles Review Not bad, not bad… So…look…I like Arcane-Gel…for the most part, I feel like I’ve got no problem standing behind these guys and what they create. For at least a couple of reasons too. One being, I think the world could certainly stand a whole lot more […]Read More
Saure Gurken – “Club Jam” / “So Long” – Singles Review Gurken’s gonna Gurken…and we’d be silly to expect anything otherwise. Happy this crazy crew is back in action more regularly now. Those of you that know the history, know we first reviewed this band way back in 2015, and it wasn’t until nearly a […]Read More
MaeBeaNot – drifting away from reality – EP Review I caught this clip of a track called “suffering” online on the official YouTube channel for MaeBeaNot and thought, well…MaeBeaSo really…this kind of audible oddity is usually something I find that I’m into. If it wasn’t, I reckon I probably wouldn’t have this Aphex Twin tattoo […]Read More
Marc Biala – “La Hora de Echidna” / “Parking Lot Wars” – Singles Review All good things, as they say…and you know how the rest of that saying goes… I was doing my best throughout the last review or two of Marc Biala’s music that it might be time to put on the brakes a […]Read More
Vague Pains – Memory – Album Review Been looking forward to sharing this one! Sometimes you just know when you’ve found an album that’s gonna speak to you, in the style you’re looking for, you know what I mean? From the moment I clicked play on the new Vague Pains album and heard “Waiting” coming […]Read More
Kaya Bahia – Closure – Album Sampler/Singles Review Wow! Believe me, as much as I might like to think that after spending so much time listening to music, I could have some kind of advantage in being able to identify the future superstars of tomorrow…I feel like anyone out there would be able to listen […]Read More
Lazarus Benson – “Burn Down” – Single Review I’ll admit, I was a little bit skeptical. When I received the new single from Lazarus Benson, which came along with notes that mentioned how a lot had changed in “sound and more,” my first thought was like…how? I’ve been listening to this guy’s music since about […]Read More
