Solja – XXX – EP Review Working with some extremely large low-end here homies, no doubt about that. As to whether or not the production needs a slight tune-up or whether it’s Spotify’s compression clippin’ past the threshold…hard to say for sure…but right now you can definitely hear that red-line pulsing away on the opening […]Read More
Old Salt – “Quicksand” – Single Review One good turn leads to another, as they say right? Wasn’t so long ago at all that I was reviewing Dillon Douglas’ band Mississippi Moonlight and their stunning new single “Dresser Drawer” – and here we are, what seems like only mere days later, with a cut from […]Read More
Dr Optimiser – Borders – Album Review Any time I find Lemon Jelly listed in the tags for an album, I can promise ya, I’m more than interested. I pretty much wish all music was Lemon Jelly, all of the time. In their absence however…I’m more than happy to welcome back Dr Optimiser to our […]Read More
Mississippi Moonlight – “Dresser Drawer” – Single Review I mean…it’s one thing to sound like a band from the deep south – and it’d be another thing entirely to name your band partly after it, don’t you think? If that ain’t evidence of Mississippi Moonlight taking full ownership of their style & sound, I just […]Read More
Howard Herrick – Howard Herrick – Album Review Like I was hinting at the other day when we first posted up the lead single/video “Hold My Hand” from Howard Herrick’s new self-titled record, it’s very clear that this guy is livin’ his best life right now. I know you can’t see it from here, but […]Read More
Stephon Foster – “Stay In My Dreams” Featuring Steady Creating – Single Review I’ll say this much, she’s got herself a unique one here. A polarizing single I’d be willing to bet though…some people will willingly follow Stephon Foster down the rabbit-hole with her latest cut “Stay In My Dreams” while she might be leaving […]Read More
Willie The Kid X Dus – City Lights – EP Review Sometimes artists just belong together, know what I mean? Y’all know what it’s like to stumble across a collaboration in full-effect…it’s always something you can hear. When I was checking out this new City Lights EP from rapper Willie The Kid & producer Dus […]Read More
The Surgery – “Lost In Space” – Single Review What better way to spice up your speakers could there be other than a genuine sonic odyssey & audible adventure in sound? The Surgery is here to supply ya with everything your ears could want – music with exploratory, innovative, and highly imaginative ideas that push […]Read More
Josée Allard – Burning Rain – EP Review All day long Josée Allard…I could listen to ya all day long, no problemo. What a great vibe you’ve got! Extra fun-fact for ya, she also happens to originally be from the same home province as myself, good ol’ beautiful British Columbia – Josée is from Powell […]Read More
HORLA – “Into The Void” – Single Review Well look at these guys will ya? HORLA looks like it’s got four dudes that were born to rock. Exciting time to be in the band from Manchester, England as well…I’ve been checking out their sites & social-media & whatnot and 2019 has been a milestone year […]Read More
