Twine - "New Old Horse" | Album Review
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Kim Deal - "Nobody Loves You More"
Black Ends - "Psychotic Spew" | Album Review
It takes a lot of chutzpah for a band to dub themselves the progenitors of a new genre, but Seattle’s Black Ends are up to the task, trading in what they call “gunk pop.” A sideways inversion of pop-punk, deep from the Pacific Northwest ethos of bluesy, heavy grunge and raucous, righteous Riot Girl.
Thurston Moore - "Flow Critical Lucidity" | Album Review
Scrunchies - "Colossal" | Album Review
Her New Knife - "Chrome Is Lullaby" | Album Review
Queen Serene - "2" | Album Review
ALBUM OF THE WEEK: Porridge Radio - "Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me"
Horse Jumper of Love - "Disaster Trick" | Album Review
Horse Jumper of Love continue to push boundaries, both musical and emotional. This release veers more fully into earnestness, and it’s their best album as a result. As noted, the LP marks a new period of sobriety for Dimitri Giannopoulos, who quit drinking prior to the recording, and the album bears clear traces of this turn.
