Doing this review made me realize something I was not aware of. Destroyer, the brainchild of Canadian singer-songwriter Dan Bejar, has been going strong for almost 30 years now. The reason I say this is because each time a new Destroyer album drops, it feels like Dan is still finding ways to push forward and […]

The trio Hot Flash Heat Wave is taking us away from their garage band, southern California sound for a departure to the many influences of indie-pop for their Junior project Sportswear. The trio, consisting of Ted Davis, Adam Abilgaard and Nick Duffy, draw from many historical progressive influences on this project with their own witty […]

What does it mean to be human, and to love? That is the question posed by the Nashville based alternative trio COIN in their newest album Uncanny Valley. Asked and pondered by the thinking’s and ennui of an almost sad text-to-speech voice, the poignancy and astoundingly universal nature of this question is far from lost […]

Let’s get into a little bit of information about the band Nina Garbus! For starters, the band group released their first album in March of this year, the album being: Wellness Center. I find it quite exciting that the songs on this track are, well…NEW!  More than anything, I tend to focus more so on lyrics […]

The whole of Famously Alive, released in March of this year, caught me with an impressively pleasant surprise! There’s a sense of found appreciation within the creative process that went into this album – both from a lyrical and musical standpoint. With the two combined, if the songs were to have an image, I can’t help but […]

One of my favorite songs on this album would have to be Ghosting. The way this song leads in is haunting (did I just make a title reference? Hmmm…) It’s as if Jake Webb, the lead singer of Methyl Ethel, is vocalizing himself in an empty room on a vast stage. Ghosting is lovely in […]

Wow, wow, wow! Now typically, the style of music this album portrays wouldn’t be something I would normally gravitate towards. However, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed each and every song on this album – I’ve even been listening to a few particular songs back-to-back!  I found myself immersed throughout the album, Silver Behind […]

Originally part of the band Dirty Projectors, singer Maia Friedman breaks free with her first solo album “Under The New Light,” a spacey, reflective album that explores multiple genres, from indie-folk to 80s synth-pop. This album takes aspects from her previous work with Dirty Projectors while allowing her to establish her own personal musical presence […]

I had never heard of Twelve25 before listening to this album, and I must say, I am very impressed and will most likely be listening to more of them in the future. There was your traditional relaxed indie vibes, but there were mixes of some hard guitar solos and instrumentals that added a unique sense […]
