Since I wasn’t familiar with Melody’s Echo Chamber before, I was immediately entranced by the sound of this album. It’s not every day you hear something that so seamlessly blends the psychedelic sounds of Pink Floyd with the dirty guitar riffs of Jimi Hendrix, all with the ethereal vocals and mixing of Cowboy Junkies. Yet […]
Album Review: “Sometimes, Forever” by Soccer Mommy
Through this reviewer’s own fault, I ended up listening to not one, but two Soccer Mommy albums this week, but I see that as a positive. Sometimes, Forever is singer Sophie Regina Allison’s fifth studio album, full of female angst and ethereal vocals. This album juxtaposes light and airy music with lyrics about internal struggle […]
Album Review: “Blue Rev” by Alvvays
After five years, Alvvays have just released their third album “Blue Rev”. For my first listen, it was a joyride of fun sound with a carefree feeling. This album reasserts what is good about Alvvays but they reimagine it on this album. “Blue Rev” has that classic indie rock feel to it but there […]
RECAP: Hoodoo Mural Festival 2022
Photos by Zachary Sorrels The streets of downtown Amarillo welcomed the third annual Hoodoo Mural Festival on October 1st, 2022. Zach and I made the hour-long journey down to Amarillo to check out the amazing artwork and music that Hoodoo were set to deliver. The festival had an absolutely stacked lineup on both the music […]
Album Review: “Hysteria” by Indigo Sparke
Going into this one, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’m not familiar with Indigo Sparke, maybe minus a few songs, but I’ll also never say no to new music. So, with my headphones charged and my notepad open, I dove into one of the newest artists within my library. Indigo Sparke really blew […]
Album Review: “Pocket Fantasy” by Mamalarky
Coming into his album I was completely oblivious to Mamalarky and what to expect from their sophomore album. After listening to “Pocket Fantasy”, I would consider myself a fan of this retro sounding band from none other than Austin, Texas. The album kicks off with the track Frog 2. The odd time signature, soft […]
ACL Day 3 Recap: Paramore Remains On Top of the World, Kacey Musgraves Plays the Best Set of the Weekend, and Oliver Tree is Still Somewhere Playing His Last Song
If I had to hear Oliver Tree say the phrase, “DO YOU GUYS WANNA HEAR ONE MORE SONG??” one more time, I would’ve banged my head into the barricade I was standing along.
Album Review: Autumn Eve by Julie Odell
Just in time for fall, Julie Odell gives us the perfect rainy day music in her first studio album Autumn Eve. The New Orleans-based artist fills the album with raw emotion and her meaningful life experiences. The album dances the line between folk and indie rock, beautifully garnished with Odell’s angelic riffs. She creates an […]
Album Review : “God Save The Animals” by Alex G
As a person who tries to listen to all different kinds of music, hearing Alex G was a first for me. Before listening to “God Save the Animals” I knew nothing about Alex G and I wasn’t sure of what to expect. I have to say after hearing this album, I’ve added him to my […]
