by Libby Veatch The first thing I will say about this album is that it is an absolute joy to listen to. To me, it feels like summer afternoons walking around with friends, enjoying the fresh air, and popping into your favorite vinyl store. The modernized Bob Dylan sound combined with a bit of indie […]
Album Review: “Paint By Numbers” by Goon
Goon has come into their own with their newest EP, Paint By Numbers, Vol 1. The band has come to indie prominence for their infectious melodies and sassy beats, and this EP has all of that and more stuffed into a bite sized, 5 track package. For a very indie album, the attention that can […]

Album Review: “Strawberry” by Caroline Loveglow
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 […]
Album Review: “The Dream” by Alt-J
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 […]

Album Review: “Multiverse” by Reptaliens
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. The album Multiverse is composed of 10 songs each with a surreal […]
Album Review: “Pompeii” by Cate Le Bon
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 […]
