Flower Girl – Volume VI

Flower Girl – Volume VI – Album Review Great things come in small packages. Like I always say, until you push play or see a listing of track-lengths…you just don’t know if you’re in for an album or an EP. I suppose that’s why I’m here partially…I get to play the role of the spoiler […]Read More

Shid Latta – LOVE + OTHERx DRUG$

Shid Latta – LOVE + OTHERx DRUG$ – Album Review Here’s a production. LOVE + OTHERx DRUG$ isn’t just a brilliant title for an album, it’s a full-out mix of intensity in both rhyme and beat.

Fey – Bye Bipolar

Fey – Bye Bipolar – Album Review If you already know one thing about me…it’s that I’m listening to music all the time, from every genre we’ve created as a collective whole.

Da Challenger – Verbal Canvas Volume 1

Da Challenger – Verbal Canvas Volume 1 I can’t even begin to explain…obviously a LOT of changes around here at the homepage right now…and as beautiful as they all are…that’s a LOT of change for a curmudgeon like me. So let me just say…I was definitely looking to find me some music with a nice […]Read More

Zeequil – Here

Interesting in all sonic-forms, the new album from Zeequil entitled Here is a perfect blend of electro-meets-jazz in all its darkly-melodic glory.  From the moment the playfully-rubbery opening track “Rise Up” begins, the textures, tones and subtle-nature of Zeequil begin to hum along together like fine-tuned machinery. Vocalist Lizzie Bradley carries on beautiful, melodies in […]Read More

Voxmirage – Voxmirage

Wicked stuff.  Right off the draw I’m hearing music that reminds me of elements of some fantastic pop/rock/electro bands like Snow Patrol, MGMT…even some R.E.M. thrown in here.  This two-piece band is making completely exciting music with intense grooves and fantastic songwriting. And what’s THIS?  They’re from my home-away-from-home of Seattle?  LOVE IT.  Just an […]Read More

Rasplyn – Scenes Through The Magic Eye

Ahhh…how cool my life can be at times! Starting a day by listening to Rasplyn’s debut experimental album is a real treat for the ear. There’s so many incredible new ideas and soundscapes here; it might still qualify as ‘experimental’ – but this album has been put together with a tremendous amount of thought and […]Read More

Pink Floyd – The Endless River

Reunions and re-releases aplenty in our world today…and in 99% of those cases I’d usually advise some caution…but of course, 99% of those bands are NOT Pink Floyd.  Welcome back to your favorite, flawless band – they haven’t dropped an inch in creativity, tone or execution.  And while many of these songs come to us […]Read More

The Bombay Blue Notes – Face The Pain

Hmmm…this one’s a little tough.  At first instance in pushing play, I know this is ‘outside’ my particular genres of choice…so I’ve got to throw my objectivity-hat on here and mine this new music from The Bombay Blue Notes for personal relevance in moments that speak to me.  That being said, the gift of objectivity […]Read More
