Third Realm – Deranged – Album Review If you like your electro on the dark-side, you’ll not need to look much further than Buffalo, New York’s Third Realm. As I understand it, dark-electro has been a prevalent part of the NY underground scene for a good part of this last decade, growing stronger with their […]Read More
Árstíðir – Hvel – Album Review Is it strange that I can identify the Iceland sound? Between the character-placement of the band/album name and the overall tone and assembly of the music, I was left with little to no doubt that Árstíðir was coming to us from this beautiful still-fairly-untouched music-mecca. Turns out that yes, […]Read More
Human Behavior – Bethphage – Album Review I think it was pretty close to a year ago at this time when I first landed my ears upon Human Behavior when reviewing their album Golgotha.

Stone Village – Cool Gazpacho – Album Review Kidding me right? I mean that in the best of ways of course…I just don’t expect this level of skill coming my way many times in one day.

I honestly don’t even know what Active I has used to start off the opening track “Common Man,” but the haunting tones of the beginning of Earth Is […]Read More
Modest Mouse – Strangers To Ourselves – Album Review I’ll admit – I got on the Modest Mouse bandwagon fairly late…just at the crest of the release of Good News For People Who Love Bad News; and then ravenously devoured their entire back catalogue. Forever astounded by just how real their music can be; it’s […]Read More
Adam Ray – The Clown Parade – Album Review Now here’s a brave soldier. I’m not just talking about braving the pages of the internet here at sleepingbagstudios by handing us a country-album to pick apart…that pales in comparison to the struggles and obstacles I’m sure that Adam Ray has overcome in order to get […]Read More
Young Pandas – Enigmas – Album Review This is the energy that I need right now to wake me up. I’ve been on my grind again; passing the 300th mark for reviews officially with #301 right here with Young Pandas, the opening cut “Say What You Mean” starts off Enigmas with the musical equivalent of […]Read More
