PHI-108 – Solve For Why – Album Review “Each lyric is a profound reflection…” Whoa, whoa, whoa…hold up & slow down compadres – that’s for us to decide, tyvm! Alright…I’ll be real with ya though, they do make a pretty good case to support that statement you’ll find in their bio. Would I put that […]Read More
DocFell & Co. – Frequencies And Vibrations – Album Review That’s a pretty steady clip there DocFell & Co. – Frequencies And Vibrations is the 5th studio album from the band in about nine years or so…a mighty impressive average of 1.8 years for every record, nice work. Even if “Summer’s Gone,” and I’m writing […]Read More
mentalEscape – Big Bang – Album Review Hellllllllll yeah! I ain’t gonna lie, I get super apprehensive when I get two records submitted in fairly close two, and even more-so when I really dig the first one I end up reviewing. Similarly as to how it’s practically impossible to follow your best song on an […]Read More
Manuel Bienvenu – oh do we – Album Review How can you not appreciate how gloriously smooth a beginning like oh do we has? When you hear the jazzy beat and stunning sound selection in the piano-based melody at the start of “combini” as Manuel Bienvenu starts to play for us, I couldn’t help but […]Read More
mentalEscape – Numb – Album Review Oy! That’s exciting! Is there anything better than pushing play on a record and feel like you’re instantly being blown away by what you hear coming back through the speakers? Not in my world folks, I can tell ya that much with complete certainty. As the new album from […]Read More
Blystad – Blystad – Album Review Ooooo! You had me at hello, Blystad. How could I not feel that way, or anyone not feel that way for that matter? You put on this self-titled album and it begins with the spellbinding smoothness of “Solvending,” and you’re pretty much witnessing the audible definition of what enchantment […]Read More
Garage T. Rashington III – The Last Slop – Album Review Pus. Phlegm. Seepage. Moist. Slop. There you have it. According to the internet, those first four words are the universally agreed upon worst words to hear. I added slop. Well, Garage T. Rashington III kept adding slop so that I eventually had to comment […]Read More
Todd Underwood – Outside – Album Review Ayyyy…whaddya call that stuff…symbolism? An appropriate match? A clever addition? Fitting? The opening track “Welcome To The Stage” starts out with crowd-noise cheering on the first track, and if that ain’t encouraging, I mean, what else could be? I just got back from a trip to the Sphere […]Read More
Paul Bibbins – Disenchantment At A Distance (REDUX) – Album Review Picture this with me…it’s 1969 at Christmastime…Paul Bibbins walks off the stage after rocking a stadium-sized crowd…gives Jimi a hi-five as they trade places…I mean…yeah…Paul’s still opening, because it’s Jimi-fucking-Hendrix y’all and even fantasies have limitations…but yeah…right at the time this sound would have […]Read More
Raw Soul – Journey // Destination – Album Review The new Raw Soul album opens with confidence and the strong voice you know at the helm as “Terra” gets things moving. With a series of verbal gymnastics being performed, where syllables are punched directly for emphasis bar after bar, “Terra” serves its purpose as the […]Read More
