Album Review – Embody – Basement Revolver

If there is one thing to spotlight on this album it would definitely be the patterns the songs follow. For an indie rock album, it can be very easy to have songs follow the same pattern and be repetitive. For this album, they managed to keep very similar patterns in most of their songs, but […]

Album Review: “Labyrinthitis” by Destroyer

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 […]

Album Review: “Sportswear” by Hot Flash Heat Wave

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 […]

Album Review: “Uncanny Valley” by COIN

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 […]

Album Review: “Wellness Center” by Nina Garbus

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 […]

Album Review: “Famously Alive” by Guerilla Toss

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 […]

Album Review: “Are You Haunted?” by Methyl Ethel

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 […]
