Bungee Jumpers - "Not Today..." | Album Review

Bungee Jumpers - "Not Today..." | Album Review

On Bungee Jumpers’ Not Today… it feels like we’re with them in the “studio,” watching every hacky joke penned, semi-sentimental moment built up, and hackneyed idea embraced with gusto. It’s a gimmick and it’s so not, and they ride the line perfectly across Not Today… to comment, critique, engage, and generally titillate listeners.

Shintaro Sakamoto - "Yoo-Hoo" | Album Review

Yoo-Hoo is an album that masquerades as being the opposite of urgent. Hiding behind languid dips into bluesy surf chill and folky flute, it is in fact incredibly timely and temporal. On a 0° day in the heart of a frigid Chicago winter, some tropical, existential lucidity is exactly what is needed.

Forty years later, authoritative music outlets have granted it their top rating, proving that it can often be clumsy to judge an album on its merits the moment it initially comes out.

Obits - “L.E.G.I.T.” | Album Review

Obits were a band that burned brightly and relatively fast, leaving audiences with moments of emotional and personal release.
