Album Review: “Fisher King” by Furrows
Not all albums are created equal. Some are here to make you cry, some are here to pick you up when you’re down, and then others are just here to downright confuse you. “Fisher King”, the full-length freshman attempt by Brooklyn singer and multi-instrumentalist Peter Wagner (better known as Furrows), somehow accomplishes all three. The […]
Album Review: Spectrums by Odonis Odonis
Spectrums is a brand new electronic indie pop album from Odonis Odonis. This is their first full album in five years and fifth overall.

Album Review: “Good Morning It’s Now Tomorrow” by Matt Maltese
Hey, “We Need To Talk”. This new Matt Maltese LP is “Looking” to be a shining star on the alternative map. “You Deserve an Oscar” if you can pretend not to like this album. Now, if any of these puns just made you cringe so much that your hairs stood up, then this album may […]
