State Champion - "Send Flowers" | Album Review

State Champion - "Send Flowers" | Album Review

The world that exists in Louisville’s State Champion’s Send Flowers is one cloaked in profound absurdity. It’s a place where you might lose your soul in “a gentleman’s hall in Tijuana” and have the manager offer to send it back home to you if he finds it, where cicadas harmonize with dial tones, where you can “unplug the stars from the sky.”

Young Jesus - "The Whole Thing Is Just There" | Album Review

Young Jesus - "The Whole Thing Is Just There" | Album Review

Young Jesus doesn’t get lumped into typical genres and “FFO” tags very often. They are four musical boundary pushers possessing a sharpened, unique set of characteristics to the way they jam.

Motherhood - "Dear Bongo" | Album Review

The three-piece from Fredericton, NB have been touring both Canada and the US for several years, and they released their new album, Dear Bongo, right before heading out on another. This gives everyone in North America a chance to catch them live, and is it ever worth it, because the album doesn't so much take you on a ride as it does roll with you down a hill, laughing and shouting.

The Twilight Sad - "It Won/t Be Like This All The Time" | Album Review

If each previous album was the band working on one part of their sound, It Won/T Be Like This All the Time is all of it coming together. Dark, full, levels cranked to the max, lyrics that betray the darkness with a sense of hope, even if that hope is buried under layers of betrayal and mistrust.

Guided By Voices - "Zeppelin Over China" | Album Review

Guided By Voices - "Zeppelin Over China" | Album Review

Robert Pollard and his most recent ensemble of Doug Gillard, Bobby Bare Jr., Kevin March, and Mark Shue appear to be going through another renaissance. 25 years later, they are still putting out incredible, weird, and endlessly catchy rock and roll. The spectacular new double album Zeppelin Over China is a collection of soaring choruses and big riffs.
