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
Marte B – PPXP Sessions – EP Review Ayyy there we go! One of my favorite new voices from way out yonder across the map has come on back to us. Exciting! We first learned of Marte B, aka Marte Holter Balerud, from hearing her on a song called “Space-time” from Polyphonic Exophilia’s Vol. 3 […]Read More
Zanilonia – “MacGuffins Of The Mind” – Single Review As I sat here trying to recall where the heck I’d seen the word or name MacGuffin in the past, and couldn’t do it, eventually I resorted to Google. That’s one of the things about us writers I suppose – we tend to have a solid […]Read More
Garage T. Rashington III – Acoustic Slop – Album Review ADULT CONTEMPORARY. Fuck. Okay, I’m kidding. It’s not that. A DUDE AND A GUITAR. Acoustic Slop. Alright, that’s what it is, but it’s probably fair to say it’s more than that too. I’ll tell ya this much, this guy is never gonna be normal in […]Read More
Jaydii & Supreme Khay – NAHIMASTAY – EP Review Doin’ their thang straight from the drop, “Sunset Blvd Pt. 2” is pretty much all the confirmation that anyone would need to know this collaboration between Jaydii & Supreme Khay is gonna work out A-OK. We’re used to quality when it comes to Jaydii and his […]Read More
Grant Jesse Prosser – Temporal Autumn – Album Review As I put on Grant Jesse Prosser’s brand-new solo album Temporal Autumn and “Empty Spaces” began, this dude took me right back to a sound I love that I’ve never forgotten. With the gentle approach to Pop/Rock you’ll find at the beginning of this record, you […]Read More
Galliano Sommavilla – Light And Shade ‘The Colours Of The Piano’ – Album Review Always a pleasure to listen to this man play. While it’s true that any musician’s career will reveal peaks & valleys over time, the vast majority of what we’ve heard from Galliano Sommavilla over these past three years has always sounded […]Read More
MC Zach Attack – “I’m On Fire” – Single Review “My name is MC Zach Attack and I’m up on the track. And when I’m on the track, you know that I’m not wack.” #Truth As far as I can tell, that’s a statement of fact, not fiction. On the technical front, I might know […]Read More
Richard Self – That Could’ve Gone Better – EP Review You gotta applaud a title like this EP has. Not only does it likely apply to the story of a relationship that Richard Self has woven into the lyricism you’ll find in each of these songs, but when you decide to remaster an entire set-list […]Read More
Kluane Takhini & James Hill – To Catch Lightning In A Bottle – Album Review I would certainly encourage you to have a listen to this record right here. On the one hand, we’ve got a world where half of its inhabitants scarcely ever listen to instrumental music, while the other half can quickly recognize […]Read More
