Nostalgic Afterlife – Insecure Thinking – Album Review Well now…you should see my unsurprised face! #JeffreyKnowsWhy If you read my review on this dude’s last solo record earlier this year back in September, you’ll remember I commented loosely on the fact that Jeffrey Hull would be back sooner than later, even though he’d been particularly […]Read More
Good Spells – “Time Again” – Single Review Hmm… You know…sometimes it’s just a matter of perspective and how we go about defining things. I was reading through the notes I’ve got here on “Time Again” by Good Spells and how it’s supposed to be an “uplifting” tune…but after having a listen, I feel like […]Read More
Todd Underwood – Flying Blue – Album Review Always great to have this man in the mix & hear what he’s been up to lately. Todd’s what you’d consider to be one of the more reliable and consistent artists out there in the scene. While it’s probably fair to say he’s got a signature sound […]Read More
Sebastian Azul – Singles Review It’s been at least a couple years since we last featured Sebastian Azul up on our pages, and it’s about time we checked in on what this artist/producer has been up to. From what it looks like, the London-based entertainer has been dropping all kinds of singles online over the […]Read More
Digital Escort – “Pony” – Single Review Leave it to Digital Escort to cover a classic like this eh? Look…the reality is, most of you folks out there probably wouldn’t even realize this is a cover tune. Whether it’s because it simply sounds like something you’d expect to hear out of an original cut from […]Read More
James Keen – “Falling Or Flying” – Single Review Strong tune from James Keen here. I often do this thing as I’m listening to music, you might do it too…do you ever try to fill in the blanks? Like, once I recognize a melodic pattern, I start to naturally guess what the lyrics will be […]Read More
The Infidels – Lobotomy – Album Review This whole realm of music is an interesting place I tells ya. Some folks out there will call a seven song record an EP, some will insist it’s an album. Some will tell ya it depends on the length of the total amount of time that determines which […]Read More
Piero – “Spell” – Single Review I’ve been pretty damn addicted to this song since the moment I heard it, and I can’t see that my need to hear it again is gonna calm down outta nowhere anytime soon. I first learned about Piero, aka Piero Widyastana, somewhere back in the middle of 2021 if […]Read More
Fola Amoo – “Jehovah Shamama” / “Bayethe Nkosi” – Singles Review A sixteen-minute long song is certainly a challenge to get people to listen to, but you have to admire the ambition of creating something so involved. I mean, heck, you’ve probably heard EPs that are shorter than what you’ll find in Fola Amoo’s “Jehovah […]Read More
Firekind – “One Thing” – Single Review Alrighty…let’s see…where were we? Ahh yes! Way back in 2015… Honestly, I’m not kidding. Back in the summer of 2015, I was 100% convinced that I was witnessing something remarkably special through the music of Firekind when I heard it for the very first time. I believe, if […]Read More
