Big Neck Police - "Sleight of Time" | Album Review

November 17, 2015

Sleight of Time pushes indie guitar rock into a dark realm, and the pleasure is in allowing Big Neck Police to catch you off guard. This is controlled chaos of the finest order.

Frankie Cosmos - "Fit Me In" | Album Review

What makes Frankie Cosmos special though, is the ability to replicate that same feeling that she's sharing pages from her diary with you even while playing with a full band to a larger crowd.

"Everything's Ok Now" with Very Fresh | Exclusive Interview

Cindy Lou Gooden is the mastermind behind the indie-pop project Very Fresh. After a two-year self-imposed hiatus down in Florida, she recently moved back to Brooklyn and resurrected Very Fresh with new perspective. On new single ‘Clean Touch/Pale Lips,’ Very Fresh has a sweet innocence that belies the muscle and teeth of Gooden’s songwriting and lyrical capabilities.

Guerilla Toss - "Flood Dosed" | Album Review

On Flood Dosed, their first effort for James Murphy’s DFA Records, this intersection is one between singing and flat speaking, her vocals taking on a remarkably clear sound that belies the past 5 years of releases. So too does the rest of the band emphasize the less remote corners of their musicianship.

Swings - "Sugarwater" | Album Review

November 12, 2015

by: dan goldin

Releasing two full albums that express artistic growth and maturation is no easier. On their second album of 2015, Sugarwater, Washington DC’s Swings manage to do just that. Their sound is more focused and refined, while still managing to expand in all the right places.

Kindling - "Galaxies" | Album Review

November 11, 2015

by: dan goldin

Kindling is driving around an amplifier museum, and what’s firing out of those speakers seems drastically more important than the vocals, which are definitely in the back seat.

“Tough Love” came about in a very practical sense. High Pop had booked an extended weekend type tour, and I decided to bring my camera. - Director Ryan Schnackenberg

Cheatahs - "Mythologies" | Album Review

November 10, 2015

by: dan goldin

Cheatahs adopt Laner’s guitar-as-synth approach, and there’s a myriad of moments on Mythologies where the band stretch the limits of what a guitar is “supposed” to sound like. It’s impressive, and adds tons of character to an album that may otherwise fall into cliche too easily.

Palm - "Trading Basics" | Album Review

November 6, 2015

by: Hannah Liuzzo

Reviews

Palm’s latest release, debut LP Trading Basics, is an intricate mechanical showcase of the full band in its most realized and programmatic form to date—it’s an artful display of their collaged catalog of musical influence from punk to minimalism to jazz.

Painted Zeros - "Floriography" | Album Review

Lau expertly gives the instruments their own personalities within the songs, even as the layers and textures pile on. This, combined with the seamless transitions between tracks, makes Floriography feel like a rolling ocean with buoys throughout it to anchor the listener and help navigate the seascape she has created.

Discovering "Melk": Melkbelly - "Bathroom at the Beach" | Feature Article

At its core, Melkbelly fuses pop rock with noise in order to create a sound that the group jokingly describes as “melk.” Though their use of the word “melk” was humorous, it was consistently invoked as a referent to the band’s musical essence.

Girl Band - "Holding Hands With Jamie" | Album Review

Holding Hands with Jamie doesn’t exactly stray from the formula they established on The Early Years, but it finds all sorts of ways to undercut the listener’s expectations while continuing their exploration with noise.

Fern Mayo - "Happy Forever" | Album Review

The 7 track EP is a blissful power pop romp that stuns as much musically as it does lyrically. The power of Capri’s songwriting is clear on every track, but it never overshadows how damn rock and roll Fern Mayo is.

Florist - "Holdly" | Feature Article

November 3, 2015

by: dan goldin

Florist’s music is light - the guitar is breezy and meandering, the drumming is slow and cool, the vocals are delicate. Despite this light tone, Sprague confronts heavy topics such as the anxieties and insecurity in love and mortality with calm and sweetness.

Rick Rude + Kiss Concert - "Split" | Album Review

Both Rick Rude and Kiss Concert play a wild sloppy punk rock; part Screeching Weasel, part Alice Cooper, with each group featuring a variety of unique idiosyncrasies that branch off into separate identities from there. Songs barrel through a survey of indie and classic rock and roll

by: dan goldin

Milan MacAlevey has been kicking his own ass for years. He works tirelessly writing songs and getting the sound of Coke Weed physically manifested on this our plane of reality. He is a student of sound and execution, and it is so apparent in the band’s flawless delivery.
