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 […]

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 […]

Wow, wow, wow! Now typically, the style of music this album portrays wouldn’t be something I would normally gravitate towards. However, I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed each and every song on this album – I’ve even been listening to a few particular songs back-to-back!  I found myself immersed throughout the album, Silver Behind […]

There was your traditional relaxed indie vibes, but there were mixes of some hard guitar solos and instrumentals that added a unique sense […]

Originally starting out as a 5-piece band and slowly transitioning to a one-woman show, Barrie has been on the scene for a few years now and knows a thing or two about change. This new album “Barbara,” written almost entirely by Barrie Lindsay alone, is filled with ideas of change, growth, and grief, all wrapped […]

If there is one thing I am going to take away from this album, it’s the guitar. That’s it, that was the best part of this album. Not that the album was bad, it was that the guitar was just that good. Throughout the album, the songs started to sound a bit similar, but then […]

Babehoven originated out of Portland, Oregon in 2017 and is composed of Maya Bon and Ryan Albert. Their first single “Out of This Country ” dropped in 2018 and the band consistently released singles up until their first album. Babehoven’s first album “Nastavi, Calliope ” was released in 2021 and their latest “Sunk” was released […]
