Wednesday - "Bleeds" | Album Review
Pile – "Sunshine and Balance Beams" | Album Review
McKinley Dixon - "Magic, Alive!" | Album Review
Magic, Alive! is a refreshing shift towards the way McKinley Dixon expresses himself and his emotions, involving the wonderful magic of stories and the poignant lessons that slip within them. Not only does it confront harsh realities, it also keeps memories alive, and turns them into lessons that enrich our very existence.

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.

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.
