Sneaks - "Highway Hypnosis" | Album Review
Tim Presley's White Fence - "I Have To Feed Larry's Hawk" | Album Review
Tim Presley spent four years composing I Have To Feed Larry's Hawk. In the past he has created a trait d’union with musicians like Ty Segall and Cate Le Bon, creating projects like Drinks. Time passed is a pot in which to find the basis for a sound search, which in this case has turned on and come to life in the new and beautiful album.
Tørsö - "Build and Break" | Album Review
Tørsö is a classically-styled hardcore band out of the Bay Area and Build and Break is their latest foray into fury. Each of the four tracks serves as a cohesive yet timeless statement. There is no sense of era – it sounds like the late-80s youth crew sound pioneered by bands like Youth of Today and Gorilla Biscuits as much as it does recent breakouts like Candy and Gouge Away.

Mineral - "One Day When We Are Young: Mineral at 25" | Album Review
David Vassalotti - "Guitar Dream" | Album Review
DROOL - "DROOL II" | Album Review
Eerie Wanda - "Pet Town" | Album Review
Pet Town is the band’s latest, marking a newfound sense of comfort and clarity that reflects Marina Tadic’s hermetic songwriting and recording process. With the help of Jasper Verhulst and Jeroen de Heuvel, Pet Town was crafted in three separate locations and patched together through Tadic’s quietly psychedelic vision of solitude and introspection.

Thanks For Coming - "Nosebleeds Always" | Album Review
Nosebleeds Always is a compilation of sorts, documenting a year’s worth of withheld demos born between the walls of the Brooklyn-based artist’s apartment. The rough, brilliant sketches found on the late 2018 release demonstrate Rachel Brown’s remarkable prolificacy and melodic prowess, further proving their place as one of the most important budding songwriters right now.
Dodgeball - "Turns Out I Was Just Really Bored" | Album Review
Irk - "Recipes From The Bible" | Album Review
Kleenex Girl Wonder - "White Lacuna" | Album Review
Earl Sweatshirt - "Some Rap Songs" | Album Review
Earl has always had something to respond to and Some Rap Songs is no exception. Despite the fact that most of it was written and recorded before the death of his estranged father, South African poet Keorpatse Kgositsile, the beauty and pain of Earl’s music has never felt more apparent, more on his sleeve, more honest.
