Open Mike Eagle & Kenny Segal - "DOOMED!" | Album Review

Open Mike Eagle & Kenny Segal - "DOOMED!" | Album Review

DOOMED!, the 45 year-old rapper’s collab effort with producer Kenny Segal, is as clever as ever. Hooks allegorize Street Fighter combos, allusions to Austrian physicists, and sardonic interpolations of Instagram lingo. What sets the record apart, however, is the painful intimacy with which that same wittiness is employed.

Chloé Jara-Buto - "Om-Om" | Album Review

Chloé Jara-Buto - "Om-Om" | Album Review

The French language splits the future into le futur and l’avenir. Le futur is the tense that belongs to the immediate, knowable future, but what Chloé Jara-Buto is concerned with on om-om is l’avenir. Unlike le futur, l’avenir is a tense that belongs to the unknowable future–or that which accepts the uncharted.

Bimbo - "The Bimbonacci Sequence" | Album Review

Bimbo - "The Bimbonacci Sequence" | Album Review

The Bimbonacci Sequence is the full length debut of Marquette-based sibling duo Bimbo, a record that expounds upon the chaotic, wonky, and ever shifting psych-tinged noise and avant-pop path of their previous EPs. Gretchen and Dawson McKenzie push their music down crooked and gnarled paths with a sense of unpredictability and style that is often hilarious. 

Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr - "Hotel Usona" | Album Review

Protomartyr are back with their seventh studio album Hotel Usona, further expanding the sound they've developed over the years, rooted in their Detroit post-punk background. At its core, the record seems to be asking how much reality you can take before you start wanting to bend it.

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra - "Is It Really Living?" | Album Review

Nekra's first EP came out on La Vida Es Un Mus back in 2020, and Is It Really Living? is only the proper follow-up — five songs, eight minutes, no filler and no room for any. This isn't a band chasing momentum. It's a band that waited until it had something worth saying, then said it as fast as possible.

Dinosaur Jr. - "There Near" | Album Review

Dinosaur Jr. - "There Near" | Album Review

The usual descriptions applied to Dinosaur Jr.’s music like scuzzy, ear bleeding, and feedback drenched seem overused to the point of cliché. These aspects are all present on There Near, but they are not what make this album distinctive. Instead, there is an open exuberance that contrasts with their canonical recordings.
