Tim Darcy - "Saturday Night" | Album Review

For his Jagjaguwar debut Saturday Night, Darcy pens a three part reflection on Joan of Ark, an enigmatic instrumental intermission, two radio friendly existential crisis singles, and a hand holding ballad to end it all.

Kindling - "No Generation" | Album Review

Hailing from Massachusetts, their music is warm and inviting, pushing out the cold drafts of the Northeast. Their newest record, No Generation, out on cassette on Old Flame Records, is six songs of swirling guitars, crashing drums and bass lines that swallows you whole.

Reviews

On Hex Signs, Fern Mayo has carved out a unique place in indie rock with their ability to break down in a song as it descends, then bounce back with ease. Always keeping the audience on their toes for what happens next, it’s hard to look away.

Super Unison - "Auto" | Album Review

February 27, 2017

by: dan goldin

Reviews

The oscillation between tenderness, heavy groove, and cathartic self-actualization is woven throughout Auto. Many of the songs have the ingredients of mosh-pit spirituals.

Russel The Leaf - "Holdin' Out (feat. Katie Bennett)" | Track Review

Russel the Leaf’s newest song, “Holdin’ Out,” is a jaunty jingle complete with playful instrumentation that creates a compelling contrast with the song’s heartfelt lyrical tale about the trials and tribulations of friendship.

Despite the heavy material, the album is a fantastic listen: often uplighting, with anthemic refrains and a variety of influence to keep all listeners engaged.

Hellrazor - "Satan Smile" | Album Review

Satan Smile, the first full-album release by New Haven, CT skate-rock trio Hellrazor kicks in the door, with a record strongly deserving of its title. If the aim of this album was to mimic the effect of Satan smiling or just to make Satan himself smile, the band has succeeded.

Vagabon - "Infinite Worlds" | Album Review

Vagabon depicts the experience of alienation in this otherworldly light throughout Infinite Worlds. Whether its chronicling a trip to the mountains, a ride on a bus or her “cold apartment floor / where we thought we’d stay in love,” Infinite Worlds is sad in a way that life is fundamentally sad.

Priests - "Nothing Feels Natural" | Album Review

Given the bands history, the current cultural climate online, in the streets, and in the halls of power, it’s easy to want to tag Nothing Feels Natural as an overt statement about now. An album that saw all the signs and knew the road we were collectively heading down.

vom night serves as an update of “twee” for the bedroom pop generation. Witmer’s songs prove that you can make music that is sweet without being saccharine, music that is both emotionally vulnerable and empowering.

Prissy Whip - "R.I.P. AF" | Album Review

Though playful, this isn’t an album that can be listened to leisurely. It doesn’t engage you so much as it seizes you and says, “I have something to say and you better fucking listen.” It’s not easy to swallow and most of the time feels like suffocating — and that’s what works.
