This was a very simple, yet interesting album. The songs did not have any unique instruments or sound effects, and for the most part, the rhythms and feel of the songs were pretty straightforward. The album was your typical dream pop, good vibes-type album, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. The album had […]

March 24, 2022 by Leave a Comment
Alt-J is back on top with their newest project, The Dream. Complete with everything you’d expect in an Alt-J album, the English rock outfit is trying to branch out as well, taking a 12-track long stroll through a wonderfully odd path that is teeming with potential. A few interesting sound bites and a cornucopia of […]

The Reptaliens originated in Portland, Oregon and are most fittingly considered a Sci-Fi Indie band. The band debuted with their first single, Prequel/ Olive Boy, in March of 2017 and have stayed true to their original sound and goal of exploring pop culture.

Album Review: “Laurel Hell” by Mitski
March 6, 2022 by Leave a Comment
One of the leading queens in the “sad indie girl” movement, Mitski has been making a name for herself for quite a while, first bursting out onto the indie scene in 2014 with her album Bury Me At Makeout Creek. I wasn’t too familiar with her back catalog before starting this review which is why […]
Album Review: “Pompeii” by Cate Le Bon
March 6, 2022 by Leave a Comment
At first, this album seemed like it was going to be very random. The first two songs were very abstract with off-beat chords and out-of-tune background instruments. Which, in my opinion, is a neat idea for one or two songs, but not an entire album. So when I started this album, (because I believe you […]

Then, you stumble onto “Every Moment, Everything You Need” by Deserta. In the title is your answer, this is the album you’ve been […]
Album Review: “LP3” by Hippo Campus
March 2, 2022 by Leave a Comment
By Nathan Taylor Hippo Campus is having fun playing mad scientist once again. The latest project from the St. Paul, Minnesota indie/alternative outfit, somewhat ironically named EP3, is radiating with potential. Experimental sound mixing and lively lyrics by head honcho Jake Luppen make this album similar but oh-so different from its predecessors. Hippo Campus has […]
Album Review: “Don’t Talk to Me” by Dropper
March 1, 2022 by Leave a Comment
The indie rock band from NYC, Dropper, kicks of the album Don’t Talk to Me with the song Two Dollar Beer. Right from the start, the songs hits you with the rip of a guitar. The intensity at the beginning of this song simmers down once the lead singer, Andrea Scanniello, beings to sing. Throughout the entirety of the […]
Album Review: “Time Skiffs” by Animal Collective
February 27, 2022 by Leave a Comment
I will be honest here, I had never listened to Animal Collective, so I did not quite know what to expect with this album. Recently I have been trying to expand my musical knowledge and genres I listen to, so I came into this with an open mind, but even having that did not give […]
