New Music Reviews

Blues Scott H. Biram

by David Garrick

There’s a misnomer on one man bands, at least there is when it comes to particular acts within the genre. The theory is that they’re crazy or difficult to work with.

Indie Perfume Genius

by David Garrick

Earlier this year Perfume Genius released a near perfect album with Set My Heart On Fire Immediately.

M. Ward Drops New Billie Holiday Cover From Upcoming Album

For a good while, M. Ward has released some of the most cinematic music available.
