Jeanines - "How Long Can It Last" | Album Review
Paper Castles - “I’m Sad as Hell and I’m Not Going To Fake It Anymore” | Album Review
Buffet Lunch - "Perfect Hit!" | Album Review
The Edinburgh/Glasgow-based project has teamed up with Upset the Rhythm for an album that is less new wave and more rocking than last year’s model, yet still with the same levels of zaniness. This record is an all-you-can-hear feast of frizzled and frazzled erratic guitar-based slacker rock madness.
Mclusky - "The World Is Still Here and So Are We"
With this record, Mclusky suggest that writing songs isn’t about inventing a narrative but writing the best songs possible. The World Is Still Here and So Are We is a monument to constant process, outdoing others because you’re trying to out do yourself, but also a document of a fully locked in Mclusky – no second guessing, eager to jump the gun, and too good to miss.
Guck - "Gucked Up" | Album Review
Razorface - “S/T” | Album Review
Ovlov + Washer | Show Review
Nourished By Time - "The Passionate Ones" | Album Review
Jobber - "Jobber to the Stars" | Album Review
Jobber to the Stars tops the New York band’s very impressive entrance that was the Hell In a Cell EP, as they show off their deep repertoire of moves that will have you gasping for air. Jobber have assembled a record that is fresh and memorable, full of energy and passion that can’t help but burst out of the speakers.
Slake - "Let's Get Married" | Album Review
Yo La Tengo - "Old Joy (Official Soundtrack)" | Album Review
Of the many guises that Yo La Tengo have acquired over the course of their four-decade-plus career, their occasional role as soundtrack composers has been a natural assignment. Like the film, Old Joy is a stripped down, minimalist affair. Most importantly, it moves the narrative along in a way that images alone cannot do.
Teethe - "Magic of the Sale" | Album Review
Bleary Eyed - "Easy" | Album Review
Les Rallizes Dénudés - "YaneUra Sept. '80" | Album Review
The Japanese psych-rock act Les Rallizes Dénudés is a cult band for which there is much to discuss, albeit with little verifiable information to go by. YaneUra Sept. '80 is a four song EP lasting just over 40 minutes that distills the improvisational essence of the band. It is a perfect entry point for new listeners.
