Daniel Ray – The Balance

Daniel Ray – The Balance – Album Review Alright…so…bear with me…today I’ve got an artist in review here, but I’ve literally no clue about much beyond the music. I can tell you Daniel Ray seems to be an extremely chill & nice guy when you talk to him, that much I can say…but that’s all […]Read More

1700MN – Know That Music Is My Lifeblood

1700MN – Know That Music Is My Lifeblood – Album Review Nearly six-months since we last checked in on 1700MN, Ed Purchla’s creative-outlet and music-project set deep within the realms of experimental-electro and the artistic soundscapes found only within the transmissions of his very own brainwaves…and somehow he manages to translate these incredible thoughts & […]Read More

Deep Cologne – Heavy Blood

Deep Cologne – Heavy Blood – Album Review Heavy Blood instantly begins with a sound I connected to. As Deep Cologne began the album with “Flawless” I could hear that texture, atmosphere and emotional-tone that I tend to love in the subtle electronics of bands/artists like Styrofoam, Faded Paper Figures…maybe even a little of The […]Read More

She Likes Todd – Over The Counter Culture

She Likes Todd – Over The Counter Culture – Album Review One of the best aspects of music I’ve always appreciated and loved perhaps more than any other is simply how it can lead you from point-A to point-B and continue on and on through C straight til the end of the alphabet in terms […]Read More

Charming Timur – So Much So Little So Little So

Charming Timur – So Much So Little So Little So Much – Album Review It’s certainly been a privilege to have been part of the independent music-scene long enough to be able to hear music evolve, refine, change and grow like I’ve been able to with what Santeri Lohi creates in all his various projects, […]Read More

Greg Safel – Visible

Greg Safel – Visible – Album Review Oh boy…where to start? How about first I make a sincere, heartfelt apology to singer/performer Greg Safel, our artist in review today after what has been entirely too long…I’ve had this on my desktop for some time now, and I have to admit to the folder it’s in […]Read More

Down Solo – Back To Camps Bay

Down Solo – Back To Camps Bay – Album Review Alrighty…truth coming at ya here…real-talk kinda-stuff… I was really only supposed to dig into the song called “The Edge Of The World” from the new record from Down Solo. In my curiosity and pursuit of all-things-music…just so happens I might have maybe pushed the button […]Read More

STV – SOS

STV – SOS – Album Review No pressure here STV…but it’s my birthday…so…know that I’m going into this with the expectation you’ll make it a happy one for me! Not that I’d necessarily expect the subject matter, moods or atmospheres to necessarily be laden with joy…not when it comes to the emotional-textures you’ll find in […]Read More

Howard Louis – Having Stung Moves On…

Howard Louis – Having Stung Moves On… – Album Review For grooves so subtly-woven…you’ll be impressed at the amount of hooks Howard Louis has found here on his new album Having Stung Moves On… Smart writing and clever melodies make themselves known on this acoustically-driven, folk-laden, storytelling set of songs; Howard is clearly a writer […]Read More

Oddfellows – NoVo

Oddfellows – NoVo – Album Review There was a small part of me that was trying to whisper how late it’s growing here in BC…and that I should start thinking of packing it up for the night. Something about the first song on the new NoVo album by Oddfellows kept me wanting to stay awake…the […]Read More
